PIC16LF723A-E/SS
PIC16LF723A-E/SS - 8-bit MCU, 7KB Flash, 25 I/O, SSOP-28 | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16LF723A-E/SS is an 8-bit flash microcontroller from the PIC16F/LF72x family, featuring 7KB (4K x 14) of program memory, 192 bytes of SRAM, and 25 digital I/O pins in a 28-pin SSOP package. The 'LF' suffix denotes the low-voltage (1.8V-3.6V) variant optimized for nanoWatt XLP (eXtreme Low Power) operation, making it suitable for battery-powered and energy-harvesting applications.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer built around an 8-bit data path, on-chip flash program memory, SRAM, peripherals (timers, ADC, UART, I2C, SPI), and digital I/O. PIC microcontrollers are RISC-based Harvard-architecture devices that execute one instruction per clock cycle (except branches), giving them strong deterministic performance for embedded control tasks. The PIC16LF723A belongs to the PIC16 mid-range family and is part of the broader category of microcontrollers, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits used in embedded systems.
Key features of the PIC16LF723A-E/SS include an internal oscillator up to 16 MHz, hardware I2C/SPI/UART, a 10-bit ADC with up to 11 channels, multiple timers, and nanoWatt XLP technology that drops current to nanoamp levels in sleep. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the 'E' suffix indicates the -40C to +125C extended operating temperature range, while the '/SS' suffix denotes the 28-pin SSOP (5.30 mm body width) package. The wide VDD range from 1.8V to 3.6V allows direct operation from a single Li-ion cell.
The device uses Microchip's enhanced mid-range core with a 14-bit instruction word and 8-level hardware stack, providing a balance between code density (4K x 14 instructions = 7KB) and deterministic interrupt handling. On-chip peripherals include the Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) configurable for SPI or I2C, an Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART), a 10-bit ADC with acquisition timer, three timers, and a 16-bit Capture/Compare/PWM module.
Typical applications include low-power sensor nodes, IoT edge devices, battery-powered instrumentation, home automation, remote controls, and small consumer appliances. The PIC16LF723A-E/SS is supported by MPLAB X IDE, XC8 compiler, and the MPLAB Code Configurator for rapid peripheral setup.
When designing with this device, choose external decoupling close to the VDD pin and follow Microchip's recommended ICSP programming footprint even when programming only at production. For low-power designs, verify the exact IDD and IPD figures from the datasheet electrical characteristics table for your chosen VDD and clock configuration.
