PIC10LF320-E/OT - 8-bit MCU 448B Flash SOT-23-6 | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC10LF320-E/OT is an 8-bit PIC microcontroller from the PIC10F family delivering 16 MHz CPU performance with 448 bytes of Flash program memory and 32 bytes of SRAM, housed in a 6-pin SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. It operates across a 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range with four I/O pins, an integrated 8-bit ADC, and on-chip peripherals including PWM, CLC, NCO, CWG, and a temperature indicator.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer containing a processor core, program memory (Flash/ROM), working memory (RAM), and configurable peripherals such as ADCs, timers, and communication interfaces. Within the taxonomy, the PIC10LF320 sits in the 8-bit microcontroller sub-class, itself a branch of microcontrollers (MCUs), embedded controllers, and finally the broader semiconductor category. The "LF" in the part number designates the low-voltage / low-power flavor of the PIC10F320, targeting battery and energy-harvesting designs where 1.8 V operation is essential.
Key features include a high-performance RISC architecture (single-cycle instructions except branches), an internal 16 MHz oscillator with +/-1% accuracy, an 8-bit ADC with up to 4 channels and 10-bit resolution selections, two PWM modules, and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) like the Configurable Logic Cell (CLC), Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO), and Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG). The device supports in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) and in-circuit debugging, allowing firmware updates without removing the part from the board.
The PIC10LF320-E/OT is built on Microchip's enhanced mid-range core and uses CMOS flash technology for non-volatile program storage. With only 6 pins and a tiny SOT-23-6 outline (approximately 2.9 mm x 1.6 mm), it is one of the smallest general-purpose microcontrollers available, yet retains genuine interrupt handling, a hardware stack, and a watchdog timer for safety-critical loops.
Typical applications include low-power IoT sensor nodes, wearable fitness/health devices, LED accent lighting, battery chargers, simple state machines, and any compact PCB where a few GPIO pins need local intelligence. The wide 1.8-3.6 V operating range makes it directly compatible with single-cell lithium, two-cell alkaline, and energy-harvesting supplies.
When designing with this part, treat unused pins as outputs to minimize supply current, and pair the MCU with a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor placed within a few millimeters of the VDD pin. For low-power sleep designs, leverage the PIC10LF320's nanoWatt XLP technology to drop quiescent current below 100 nA in sleep mode.
