PIC16LF18855-E/SP
PIC16LF18855-E/SP - 14KB Flash 8-bit MCU 28-SPDIP | Microchip
The Microchip PIC16LF18855-E/SP is an 8-bit PIC microcontroller from the PIC16F18855 family featuring 14 KB of Flash program memory, 1 KB of RAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM in a 28-pin SPDIP (Skinny Plastic Dual In-line Package). It operates at up to 32 MHz CPU clock with an instruction cycle time of 250 ns, supports a wide 1.8V to 3.6V supply range, and belongs to the XLP (eXtreme Low Power) family. The device integrates rich peripheral sets including multiple CCP/ECCP modules, 10-bit ADC, 8-bit DAC, comparators, PWM, CWG, NCO and DSM peripherals, making it suitable for sensor interfacing, motor control, and general-purpose embedded control.
What is an 8-bit microcontroller? An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer built around an 8-bit data path and Harvard architecture, integrating CPU, Flash program memory, RAM, EEPROM, and configurable peripherals (ADC, timers, communication interfaces). Within the broader IC taxonomy, an MCU belongs to: microcontroller -> embedded controller -> digital IC -> semiconductor. The 'LF' prefix denotes the low-power (wide-range 1.8V–3.6V) variant, while '18855' identifies the specific die with 14 KB memory and rich analog/peripheral integration. The '-E' suffix indicates the -40°C to +125°C extended operating temperature range.
Key features include 25 I/O pins, 2 UART modules (EUSART), 2 SPI, 2 I²C, 10-bit ADC with up to 24 channels, 5-bit DAC, 2 comparators, and 4 8-bit timers plus 1 16-bit timer. The XLP technology enables sleep current down to ~30 nA typical with full RAM retention, ideal for battery-powered applications such as IoT sensor nodes, wearables, and remote controls.
The architecture uses a RISC-style 14-bit instruction set with 49 instructions and a 16-level hardware stack, complemented by a configurable instruction cache (PIC10/12/16/18 instruction-set compatibility) and a CWG/DSM module for advanced waveform generation. The 32 MHz internal oscillator supports USB and timing-critical motor-control loops.
Typical applications include home-automation controllers, battery-powered wireless sensor nodes, automotive body electronics (sub-systems), low-power IoT edge devices, HVAC thermostats, and small DC-motor or fan-control circuits. The SPDIP-28 footprint also makes it breadboard-friendly for prototype development and education.
Design consideration: choose this MCU when you need an easily solderable through-hole part for prototype or low-volume production, or when the wider 5V-tolerant SPDIP-28 footprint simplifies hand-rework. For high-volume surface-mount designs, consider the SOIC-28 (PIC16LF18855-E/SO) or QFN-28 (PIC16LF18855-E/ML) variants in the same silicon family.
