PIC16F15376T-I/MV Overview
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, memory, and programmable I/O peripherals. Within the semiconductor hierarchy, an MCU belongs to the broader category of microcontrollers, then embedded processors, then digital ICs. The PIC16F15376T-I/MV is part of the 8-bit MCU subcategory that targets low-power and cost-sensitive applications. It uses a 14-bit instruction word and Harvard architecture, executing one instruction per clock cycle (except branches), which simplifies deterministic timing and interrupt-driven firmware design.
Key differentiating features of the PIC16F15376T-I/MV include Microchip's eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology, with a typical sleep current below 50 nA, and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) such as CLC and CWG that offload timing-sensitive tasks from the CPU. The 10-bit ADC supports up to 35 channels, while the CWG can generate complementary PWM outputs with dead-band control, eliminating the need for external gate-driver timing circuits in half-bridge topologies. Combined, these peripherals reduce firmware complexity and BOM cost in motor control, lighting, and sensor-interface designs.
Typical applications for the PIC16F15376T-I/MV include consumer white goods, LED lighting drivers, low-power IoT sensor nodes, battery-operated HVAC controls, simple BLDC/PMSM motor commutation, and general-purpose mixed-signal embedded platforms. Its 2.3V to 5.5V supply range and integrated intelligent analog blocks (ADC, DAC, comparator) make it well suited for direct sensor interfacing without external signal-conditioning ICs. The 40-UQFN (5x5) package supports space-constrained PCB layouts while exposing enough pins (36 I/O) for typical peripheral-rich designs.
When designing with this device, ensure that the UQFN-40 land pattern uses sufficient thermal copper under the exposed pad to keep junction temperature within the industrial -40C to +85C range at full CPU load. Decouple VDD with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of the pin, and keep the AVDD/VREF traces short to preserve ADC accuracy. The CLC and CWG should be configured before enabling peripherals to avoid spurious outputs on power-up.

IoT Battery-Powered Sensor Node
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV fits IoT sensor nodes because its XLP sleep current below 50 nA extends battery life to multiple years on a single coin cell, while the integrated 10-bit ADC supports up to 35 channels for direct temperature, humidity, or analog sensor readout without external signal conditioning. The 28 KB Flash accommodates over-the-air update firmware plus application logic, and the 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply range accepts both 3.3 V coin cells and 5 V USB inputs. The Core Independent Peripherals (CLC and CWG) wake the CPU only on threshold events, minimizing average current. Placed as the main MCU on a 25x25 mm sensor board, the 40-UQFN (5x5) leaves room for a wireless module. Power dissipation at 32 MHz with all peripherals active is typically 15 mW at 3.3 V, well within coin-cell budget during active intervals.
Recommended
LED Lighting Driver with CWG
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV is well matched for LED lighting drivers because its Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) produces hardware dead-band-controlled complementary PWM outputs without CPU intervention, eliminating the timing jitter that plagues firmware-based PWM. The four 10-bit PWM channels allow dimming of multiple LED strings simultaneously, while the integrated 8-bit DAC sets constant-current reference levels. The XLP sleep mode drops consumption below 50 nA during standby, meeting ENERGY STAR standby budgets. Operating from 2.3 V to 5.5 V allows direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V LED driver rails. The 40-UQFN (5x5) package enables compact downlight form factors. With VIN=5 V, VDD=3.3 V, and 32 MHz operation, typical power dissipation is around 18 mW.
Recommended
BLDC/PMSM Motor Commutation Control
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV handles sensor brushless DC motor control tasks via its CWG, which produces three-phase complementary PWM with programmable dead-band to drive half-bridge MOSFET stages without CPU intervention. The integrated comparator and 5-bit DAC implement back-EMF zero-cross detection in sensorless topologies. The 28 KB Flash accommodates state-machine firmware and start-up ramp tables, while the 32 MHz CPU provides deterministic commutation timing. The 40-UQFN (5x5) footprint is compact enough for in-motor integration on small fan or pump PCBs. Power dissipation at 32 MHz full-load with CWG active is around 20 mW typical. The XLP sleep mode is suitable for standby-stop motor functions.
Recommended
Consumer White Goods Control Board
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV suits white-goods appliance control boards because the 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply range accepts rectified 5 V or 12 V rails directly, and the 36 I/O pins handle keypads, displays, relay drivers, and triac interfaces simultaneously. The 10-bit ADC with 35 channels reads temperature, water level, and motor current sensors without external multiplexers. The 28 KB Flash supports IEC 60730 Class B safety firmware, while the integrated comparator enables zero-cross triac firing without external zero-cross detector ICs. The 40-UQFN (5x5) package fits dishwasher or washing-machine main PCBs. At 32 MHz with all peripherals enabled, power dissipation is approximately 22 mW at 5 V supply.
Recommended
HVAC Thermostat Control
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV fits HVAC thermostat designs because the integrated 10-bit ADC reads temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and setpoint potentiometers directly, while the CLC blocks implement hysteresis logic without firmware polling. The 32 MHz CPU executes PID control loops with 1 ms cycle time, and the 28 KB Flash supports scheduling and user-interface firmware. The XLP sleep mode cuts standby consumption below 50 nA, suitable for battery-backed thermostats. The 40-UQFN (5x5) package supports slim wall-mount form factors. At 3.3 V operation with display off, the MCU draws around 5 mA active and 50 nA sleep. Two EUSART peripherals allow simultaneous Wi-Fi module and HVAC bus connectivity.
Recommended
Battery-Powered Medical Monitoring Device
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV fits portable medical monitoring devices such as pulse oximeters and single-parameter patient monitors because the integrated 10-bit ADC and 5-bit DAC implement analog front-end biasing and signal conditioning without external op-amps. The 32 MIPS performance executes digital filtering and threshold detection in real time, while the 28 KB Flash supports sensor calibration tables and unit-specific serial numbers. The XLP sleep mode below 50 nA extends battery life beyond 12 months on a single AAA cell. The 40-UQFN (5x5) package supports compact wrist-worn form factors. Operating from 2.3 V to 5.5 V supports both Li-ion and alkaline chemistries directly. Power dissipation at 8 MHz low-power mode is approximately 2 mW at 3.3 V.
Recommended
Industrial Sensor Transmitter
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV serves industrial 4-20 mA sensor transmitters because its 10-bit ADC provides sufficient resolution for process-variable readout, while the integrated CLC blocks handle HART or Modbus encoding without CPU load. The 32 MHz CPU executes linearization and scaling in real time, and the 28 KB Flash supports custom calibration curves per sensor type. The industrial -40C to +85C operating range meets process-industry environmental requirements. The 40-UQFN (5x5) package fits inside standard field-mount transmitter heads. At 24 V loop supply with on-board 3.3 V regulator, the MCU draws approximately 4 mA, leaving sufficient budget for the loop. The XLP sleep supports battery-backed wirelessHART variants.

Key Differentiators
- Compact 40-UQFN (5x5) package for space-constrained designs (vs PIC16F15376T-I/PT)
- Industrial temperature grade optimized for consumer and commercial use (vs PIC16F15376-E/ML)
- Tape and Reel packaging for high-volume SMT assembly (vs PIC16F15376-I/MV)
Design Notes
The PIC16F15376T-I/MV 40-UQFN package exposes a central thermal pad that must be soldered to a copper pour on the PCB to maintain junction temperature within the industrial -40C to +85C range. Decouple VDD and AVSS with 100 nF ceramic capacitors placed within 3 mm of the respective pins, and keep ADC trace lengths under 25 mm to preserve 10-bit conversion accuracy. A four-layer PCB with continuous ground plane under the UQFN is recommended for EMI-sensitive analog measurements.
Estimated: at 32 MHz full CPU load with all peripherals active, current draw is approximately 5 mA at 3.3 V (about 16.5 mW). XLP sleep mode drops current below 50 nA typical when the watchdog is disabled. For battery-powered designs, duty-cycle the CPU to maximize sleep duration: a 1% active duty cycle yields average current around 50 uA, enabling multi-year coin-cell operation. Always disable unused peripherals in firmware to minimize active current.
Do not confuse the F-prefix (2.3 V to 5.5 V) and LF-prefix (1.8 V to 3.6 V) variants - the LF part is required for sub-2.3 V operation. The MCLR/RE3 pin is input-only by default; configure it carefully if using it as a digital input. The CLC and CWG peripherals must be configured before enabling their outputs to avoid spurious transitions during power-up. ICSPCLK/ICSPDAT pins (RB6/RB7) must be properly terminated to prevent unintended entry into debug mode.
Compliance Information
