PIC16LF18424-E/JQ - 8-bit 32MHz 7KB Flash XLP MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16LF18424-E/JQ is an 8-bit PIC microcontroller from the PIC16(L)F184xx family, featuring eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology, 32MHz operation, 7KB Flash program memory, 512B RAM, and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) in a 16-pin UQFN (4x4) package. It integrates intelligent analog blocks including a 12-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2), a 5-bit DAC, and a comparator, alongside two PWMs, CWG, EUSART, and SPI/I2C interfaces.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, program memory (Flash/ROM), data memory (RAM), and peripherals on one die. The PIC16F family from Microchip uses a RISC-based Harvard architecture with a single accumulator (WREG) and is part of the broader 8-bit MCU taxonomy that includes 8-bit -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor. The PIC16LF18424 belongs to the low-power (LF) sub-family, optimized for battery-powered designs through nanoWatt XLP technology, sleep currents below 1 uA, and multiple power-managed operating modes.
Key features include 7KB (4K x 14) Flash program memory, 512 bytes RAM, 256 bytes EEPROM, 12-bit ADCC with automated math and averaging functions, a 5-bit DAC, two Capture/Compare/PWM modules with complementary outputs, Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), Configurable Logic Cell (CLC), EUSART, SPI, and I2C. The 16-pin UQFN (4x4mm) package includes an exposed pad for thermal dissipation, ideal for space-constrained applications.
The device operates from 1.8V to 3.6V (LF variant), supporting battery-powered designs with Li-ion or 2xAA cells. The PIC16LF18424-E/JQ uses the enhanced mid-range core with 49 instructions and 16-level hardware stack, while XLP features deliver typical sleep currents below 50 nA with RTC running. Peripherals like the CLC and CWG operate independently of the CPU, enabling low-power real-time responses.
Typical applications include IoT sensor nodes, battery-powered wearables, LED lighting controllers, automotive body electronics, low-power wireless sensor hubs, consumer remote controls, and small home appliances. The combination of intelligent analog, low sleep current, and small UQFN package makes it well-suited for always-on applications that demand long battery life.
When designing with this device, note the -E suffix indicates the -40C to +125C extended operating temperature range. The /JQ suffix identifies the 16-pin UQFN 4x4mm package. Programming is supported via MPLAB X IDE, XC8 compiler, and the PICkit or Snap programmer ecosystem, with configurable peripherals tunable through the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC).
