PIC18LF25K42-E/ML - 32KB Flash XLP 8-bit MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC18LF25K42-E/ML is an 8-bit PIC18 microcontroller with 32KB Flash, 2KB SRAM, and 256B EEPROM, housed in a 28-pin QFN (6x6mm) package with an exposed pad. Operating at up to 64MHz, it integrates a 12-bit ADC2, 8-bit DAC, comparators, DMA, vector interrupts, PWM, MAP, and DIA support, while consuming low power via the eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program and data memory, and programmable I/O peripherals. The PIC18 family is Microchip's 8-bit RISC architecture, descended from the PIC16 baseline and PIC17 mid-range families, now extended with peripheral-rich variants. PIC microcontrollers belong to the broader category of microcontrollers -> embedded processors -> semiconductors, and dominate cost-sensitive, low-power, and deterministic-control applications.
Key features include 32KB self-programmable Flash with Device Information Area (DIA), 2KB data memory, 256B EEPROM, CWG, SMT, CRC/SCAN, and 24-bit Timer0. Its high-performance RISC CPU executes most instructions in one cycle, delivering 16 MIPS at 64MHz. The 12-bit ADC2 with computation supports up to 35 input channels, ideal for sensor-fusion battery-powered designs.
The architecture is built on an enhanced PIC Harvard-bus core, with separate program and data paths, and a Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) engine allowing remappable peripheral I/O. Five DMA channels can move data between memory and peripherals without CPU intervention, offloading the core for low-power active and sleep modes. The device operates from 1.8V to 3.6V and is characterized for -40C to +125C industrial temperature ranges.
Typical applications include IoT sensor nodes, low-power remote controls, sensor hubs, consumer electronics, and battery-powered instrumentation. Industrial use cases such as HVAC controllers, smart metering, and small appliances also benefit from the rich analog and timer peripherals.
When designing, ensure proper decoupling (100 nF + 1uF + bulk) near VDD/VBAT pins, and consider the exposed thermal pad layout for ground stitching. The PPS system requires careful peripheral-to-pin allocation to avoid conflicts when migrating between pin-count variants.
