PIC16F1938T-I/SS - 8-Bit 32MHz 28KB Flash XLP MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16F1938T-I/SS is a 28-pin, 8-bit CMOS flash microcontroller from the PIC16F193x family, operating up to 32 MHz with 28 KB (16K x 14) of self-programmable Flash program memory, 1 KB RAM, and 256 B EEPROM. Housed in a 28-SSOP (5.30 mm body) package with an industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, it integrates an integrated LCD driver, nanoWatt eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology, 25 digital I/O pins, and an ADC plus multiple communication peripherals. The "T" suffix denotes Tape & Reel packaging for high-volume assembly.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program and data memory, timers, communication peripherals, and I/O on one die. Within the system hierarchy, the PIC16F1938 belongs to the 8-bit microcontroller sub-category, which sits under the broader microcontroller IC family, itself a branch of microcontrollers and processors within embedded semiconductors. Its 8-bit RISC Harvard architecture executes most instructions in one clock cycle, providing deterministic real-time performance for control loops, while XLP technology targets battery-powered designs where nanoamp-level sleep currents extend operating life.
Key features include a 32 MHz internal oscillator with 4x PLL option, 14-channel 10-bit ADC, mTouch capacitive touch sensing support, two USART, two SPI, two I2C, five 8/16-bit timers, an LCD driver capable of driving up to 192 segments, and ultra-low-power sleep modes drawing less than 50 nA. On-chip debug and In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) are supported via two pins, simplifying field updates.
Architecturally, the PIC16F1938 uses an enhanced mid-range 8-bit core with a hardware 15-bit stack and 16-level deep subroutine nesting, plus a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC, configurable logic cells, and an on-chip voltage reference for low-power analog designs. The integrated segmented LCD controller generates the bias and waveform timing required for static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 duty multiplexed glass.
Typical applications include battery-powered consumer devices with LCD user interfaces, sensor nodes, white goods front-panel controllers, e-metering and thermostat displays, and portable medical instruments. The combination of segmented LCD, capacitive touch, and nanoWatt XLP enables single-chip HMI solutions without an external display driver.
When designing with this device, allocate PCB area for the ICSP/ICD pins (PGC/PGD) on dedicated test pads so that production programming and in-circuit debugging remain accessible. Use the MPLAB X IDE with XC8 compiler and ensure decoupling capacitors (typically 100 nF plus 10 µF bulk) are placed within a few millimeters of VDD.
