PIC16F15354-E/SS Overview
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip processor with an 8-bit data path, integrated program memory (Flash), data RAM, peripherals, and clock management on one silicon die. The PIC16F15354 belongs to the PIC16F family, which sits within Microchip's 8-bit PIC architecture hierarchy (PIC10/12/16/18 -> 8-bit PIC -> MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor). It targets general-purpose and low-power embedded designs using the eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology.
Key features include 512 bytes of RAM, 256 bytes of EEPROM, four 10-bit PWMs, an on-chip comparator, a 5-bit and 10-bit DAC, a 10-bit ADC, Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), four Configurable Logic Cells (CLC), and two EUSART with SPI/I2C peripherals. Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) execute logic without CPU intervention, reducing power and code complexity. XLP technology provides nanoWatt sleep modes with currents in the nanoampere range for battery-powered designs.
The device uses a RISC-style 14-bit instruction set with single-cycle execution at 32 MHz (125 ns instruction cycle). Power management features include Idle, Sleep, and Doze modes, plus peripheral module disable to gate clocks and reduce dynamic consumption. The Intelligent Analog block integrates the ADC, DAC, and comparator for sensor signal chains.
Typical applications include low-power IoT sensor nodes, consumer white goods, lighting controls, battery-operated handheld devices, and industrial sensor interfaces. The wide memory and peripheral set supports both simple loop control and mid-complexity communications stacks.
When designing with this part, ensure MPLAB X IDE is used with the XC8 compiler for firmware development, and verify the 28-SSOP land pattern against the JEDEC 0.025 inch lead pitch. For ultra-low-power designs, leverage the XLP sleep modes and use peripheral module disable to gate unused functions during low-activity intervals.

Typical Applications
PIC16F15354-E/SS is suitable for 6 applications: Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node, Consumer White Goods Control Board, LED Lighting Driver and Dimmer, Industrial Sensor Interface Module, Portable Medical Monitoring Device, Automotive Body Electronics Node.
Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node
The PIC16F15354-E/SS suits battery-powered IoT sensor nodes because its XLP nanoWatt sleep mode reduces current draw to the nanoampere range during idle intervals, extending coin-cell lifetime. The 32 MHz core handles periodic wake, ADC acquisition on a 10-bit channel, threshold check, and EUSART-based wake-up transmissions within tight active windows. CIPs (CLC, CWG, comparator) execute sensor preprocessing without waking the CPU, keeping firmware loops short. The 7 KB Flash fits custom RF protocol stacks or LoRa SX1276 driver logic. With a 2.3 V-5.5 V supply, the same part runs from 1S Li-ion or 3.3 V regulated rails, simplifying battery chemistry design.
Recommended
Consumer White Goods Control Board
The PIC16F15354-E/SS fits consumer white goods such as dishwashers, washing machines, and induction cooktops because it integrates 4 PWMs, a Complementary Waveform Generator, and 4 Configurable Logic Cells for motor and heater control. The 10-bit ADC reads thermistor, current-sense, and AC line signals, while the on-chip comparator implements zero-cross detection. The wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) handles appliance cabinet environments. The 28-SSOP package supports hand-solder or automated SMT assembly on single-sided control boards. CIPs offload timing-critical I/O logic so the firmware can focus on user interface state.
Recommended
LED Lighting Driver and Dimmer
The PIC16F15354-E/SS serves LED lighting drivers because its 4-channel 10-bit PWM enables smooth dimming curves, while the CWG generates complementary drive signals for high-side/low-side MOSFET switching. The 10-bit ADC reads ambient light and supply voltage for closed-loop current control. EUSART supports DMX512 or DALI-like protocols for digital lighting networks. Low-power sleep mode between dimming updates extends driver life in always-on fixtures. The 28-SSOP package provides thermal headroom in enclosed fixtures. Designers pair the MCU with external MOSFET drivers such as TC427 for high-current LED strings.
Recommended
Industrial Sensor Interface Module
The PIC16F15354-E/SS fits industrial sensor interface modules because the wide 2.3 V-5.5 V supply and -40 °C to +125 °C range tolerate 24 V industrial bus rails after regulation. The 10-bit ADC with internal reference handles 4-20 mA loop digitization, while the on-chip comparator implements window alarms. Dual EUSART bridges legacy RS-485 sensor buses to modern SPI/uart host controllers. Core Independent Peripherals like CLC run deterministic logic for safety interlocks. The 28-SSOP footprint allows PCB layouts that fit inside standard sensor housings with thermal margin.
Recommended
Portable Medical Monitoring Device
The PIC16F15354-E/SS fits portable medical monitors (pulse oximeters, thermometers, handheld glucometers) because its XLP technology extends battery life on disposable or rechargeable coin-cell chemistries. The 10-bit ADC captures analog sensor outputs (thermistor bridges, photodiode front-ends), while the on-chip comparator detects threshold crossings without waking the CPU. The 32 MHz MIPS performance runs firmware signal-processing for heart-rate calculation. The 28-SSOP supports miniaturized board layouts and the wide operating range handles indoor/outdoor patient use cases without supplemental thermal management.
Recommended
Automotive Body Electronics Node
The PIC16F15354-E/SS can be deployed in non-safety automotive body electronics (interior lighting controllers, seat position sensors, climate control panels) when paired with proper load-dump and ESD protection. The 10-bit ADC reads position sensors and temperature inputs, while the 4 PWMs drive small DC loads and LED backlights. The wide operating temperature range supports cabin and engine-bay-adjacent modules. Note that AEC-Q100 qualified parts such as PIC16F15354-E/SSVAO should be specified for actual vehicle integration. The 28-SSOP package is suited to compact body-module PCBs with restricted board area.

Key Differentiators
- Largest Flash within the PIC16F153xx 28-SSOP family (vs PIC16F15344-E/SS)
- Higher CPU frequency headroom than predecessor family (vs PIC16F15244-I/SS)
- Wider operating temperature range than PIC16F152xx (vs PIC16F15245T-I/SO)
Design Notes
For low-power applications, use the PIC16F15354-E/SS XLP sleep modes (Sleep, Retention Sleep) and enable the Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) bits to gate unused peripheral clocks. Estimated: at 32 MHz active and Sleep with WDT disabled, the device draws microampere-scale current suitable for years of battery life on a CR2032 coin cell. Always place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin (Pin 20) and a bulk capacitor on the regulator output to suppress transients during wake events.
The 28-SSOP package has a 0.65 mm lead pitch and 5.30 mm body width. Reserve at least 6 mm of routing channel on each side for land pattern + trace escape. Keep high-frequency analog traces (ADC inputs, comparator inputs) short and away from PWM drive lines. Place the ICSP header (Pins 14/15) at the board edge for in-system programming access. The MCLR pin (Pin 4) requires a 10 kΩ pull-up to VDD and a 100 nF capacitor to ground for proper reset behavior - do not leave MCLR floating.
Do not exceed 5.5 V on any pin; absolute maximum ratings for the PIC16F15354-E/SS VDD are 6.6 V. The 28-SSOP package and 32 MHz operation can produce VDD bounce under high GPIO switching loads - add a bulk 10 μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor if driving multiple high-current loads simultaneously. When migrating between PIC16F15354 and PIC16F15344, verify that code size fits in 3.5 KB Flash and RAM usage in 256 B before recompiling. EUSART2 and certain CLC routings differ between the 15344 and 15345 variants - always cross-check the I/O map in the datasheet's I/O PORT chapter.
Compliance Information
RoHS and REACH compliant per Microchip product page. Standard -E variant is not AEC-Q100 qualified - for automotive applications, specify the AEC-Q100 qualified PIC16F15354-E/SSVAO variant.
