PIC16F722-I/ML - 20MHz 8-bit MCU, 3.5KB Flash, 28-QFN | Microchip
MPN： PIC16F722-I/ML ✓ 啟用中PIC16F722-I/ML 概覽
Background: An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer integrating a CPU core, non-volatile program memory (Flash), volatile data memory (RAM), digital I/O, and on-chip peripherals such as timers, ADC, and communication modules. PIC MCUs sit in the broader hierarchy: microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor IC. The PIC16F family uses a RISC architecture with only 35 single-word instructions, which simplifies firmware development and accelerates time-to-market for cost-constrained embedded products.
Key features include nanoWatt XLP extreme-low-power technology for battery-friendly designs, an integrated 8-bit A/D converter with up to 14 channels, two PWM/CCP modules, AUSART (enhanced USART), and SPI/I2C peripherals. The wide 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply range supports both 3.3 V and 5 V designs, while internal oscillator options (up to 16 MHz HFINTOSC plus 31 kHz LFINTOSC) can eliminate an external crystal in many applications.
Technical depth: The PIC16F722 employs a Harvard RISC architecture with separate program and data buses, allowing instruction fetch and operand access in a single 200 ns instruction cycle at 20 MHz. The 3.5 KB Flash supports self-programming, and the integrated 128-byte EEPROM eases non-volatile data storage. The XLP sleep current is in the nanoampere range, enabling years of operation from a single coin cell in duty-cycled applications.
Typical applications include consumer electronics, low-power remote sensors, IoT edge nodes, small appliance controllers, and battery-powered handheld products. The 28-QFN (6x6 mm) footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained PCBs where 28-pin SOIC or SPDIP variants are too large.
Design consideration: When migrating from the PIC16F722-I/SP or PIC16F722-I/SO to the /ML QFN variant, PCB designers must re-create the exposed-pad thermal land pattern and verify solder paste stencil apertures; the QFN package has no leads, only bottom-side contacts.
Unique value: This page synthesizes cross-brand drop-in candidates, current distributor pricing, and practical design guidance not found on the manufacturer product page alone.

典型應用
PIC16F722-I/ML 適用於 6 應用s: Battery-Powered Remote Sensor Nodes, Consumer Appliance User Interface Controllers, Small Motor and Fan Speed Controllers, Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning, Hobbyist and Maker Educational Projects, IoT Edge Devices and Wireless Bridges.
Battery-Powered Remote Sensor Nodes
The PIC16F722-I/ML is well matched to battery-powered remote sensor nodes because of its nanoWatt XLP sleep current in the nanoampere range and 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply that supports 2x AA alkaline or single-cell Li-ion with regulator. The 20 MHz core provides ample processing for periodic sensor reads and duty-cycled radio control, while the 3.5 KB Flash is sufficient for typical C driver firmware. Designers typically use the LFINTOSC during sleep and switch to HFINTOSC only during active measurement bursts, achieving multi-year battery life. The 28-QFN (6x6 mm) footprint allows placement in compact sensor housings.
推薦
Consumer Appliance User Interface Controllers
The PIC16F722-I/ML fits appliance UI controllers because of its 8-bit ADC for keypad/touch scanning, two CCP/PWM modules for LED dimming or buzzer drive, and AUSART for diagnostics display boards. Its 3.5 KB Flash covers state-machine firmware for washers, microwaves, and coffee makers. The 28-QFN (6x6 mm) package reduces board area versus 28-SOIC alternatives, helping designers shrink the control board. The industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C handles the thermal environment inside consumer appliances.
推薦
Small Motor and Fan Speed Controllers
The PIC16F722-I/ML is suitable for low-cost brushed DC motor and fan speed controllers because of its two Enhanced CCP/PWM modules that drive MOSFET gates directly and its 8-bit ADC for closed-loop tach feedback. The 20 MHz instruction cycle provides 200 ns resolution, sufficient for 25 kHz PWM switching typical of small fans and pumps. The integrated AUSART enables factory calibration and firmware updates via service-port interfaces.
推薦
Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning
The PIC16F722-I/ML can act as a low-cost front-end conditioner for industrial sensor transmitters because of its 8-bit ADC with up to 14 input channels, 2.5 V to 5.5 V tolerance of noisy 24 V-derived rails (with external regulator), and industrial -40C to +85C temperature rating. The AUSART and SPI/I2C outputs interface easily with 4-20 mA loop chips and HART modems. The 28-QFN footprint lets engineers shrink the transmitter PCB to fit 1-inch-diameter probe heads.
推薦
Hobbyist and Maker Educational Projects
The PIC16F722-I/ML is popular in educational and hobbyist applications because of the PIC16F family's mature MPLAB X IDE toolchain, free XC8 compiler, and extensive example code library. The 20 MHz core, 3.5 KB Flash, and rich peripherals (ADC, PWM, AUSART, SPI, I2C) cover most C-language teaching projects including robotics, blinking LEDs, servo control, and serial communications. The 28-QFN variant suits advanced PCB-layout lessons for SMD soldering practice.
推薦
IoT Edge Devices and Wireless Bridges
The PIC16F722-I/ML serves as a low-cost host MCU for IoT edge devices bridging simple sensors to sub-GHz radios (e.g., LoRa, FSK transceivers). The AUSART and SPI peripherals talk to most transceivers directly, while the nanoWatt XLP sleep modes extend battery life between transmissions. The 3.5 KB Flash holds sensor drivers and small protocol stacks (Modbus, simple MQTT-SN clients), with 256 B RAM enough for short buffers. The 28-QFN footprint fits compact IoT modules.

- Low-voltage pin-compatible drop-in available (對比PIC16F722-I/SP (28-SPDIP))
- nanoWatt XLP sleep currents extend battery life (對比PIC16F690-I/ML (non-XLP variant))

設計說明
The PIC16F722-I/ML in the 28-QFN (6x6 mm) package dissipates heat through the bottom-side thermal pad. Connect the exposed pad to a solid ground copper pour on the top or inner PCB layer to keep the junction temperature within the -40C to +85C rating. At maximum 20 MHz operation with all peripherals active, typical core current is around 2-4 mA at 5 V (per PIC16F722 datasheet DC characteristics), giving total power dissipation well below 25 mW that requires no explicit heatsink.
Place the 0.1 uF VDD decoupling capacitor within 3 mm of pin 18 (VDD), with a short trace to pin 19 (VSS). For QFN layouts use a 0.5 mm pitch solder paste stencil and verify QFN pad dimensions against IPC-7351 nominal land pattern. Keep the exposed thermal pad as a single continuous land, not split, to maximize thermal conduction. Avoid routing signal traces under the QFN package; route only on outer layers.
Do not confuse PIC16F722-I/ML (QFN-28, industrial temperature, 2.5 V to 5.5 V) with PIC16LF722-I/ML (QFN-28, 1.8 V to 3.6 V) when designing for a 5 V rail; LF variants will fail to operate reliably above 3.6 V. Also note that MCLR is multiplexed on RA3 in some 28-pin PIC16F variants; if you need a dedicated reset pin, disable the MCLR-on-RA3 configuration bit (CONFIG_MCLRE = OFF) only after confirming the system can rely on internal POR.
When using the AUSART at high baud rates (>57600) with long PCB traces, add a 100 ohm series resistor at the TX line to damp reflections. The internal HF oscillator has a +/- 2% tolerance over temperature; for UART communications requiring tight baud accuracy, calibrate against the AUSART auto-baud feature or use an external crystal on OSC1/OSC2. Keep crystal traces short and surround them with a ground guard ring.
