PIC16F18345T-I/SSVAO

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC16F18345T-I/SSVAO is an 8-bit RISC microcontroller from the PIC16(L)F183xx family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 14 KB of Flash program memory and 1 KB of data RAM. The device includes a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), and a Comparator. It supports In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) via two pins and operates with a clock frequency up to 32 MHz. The unit is housed in a 20-lead SSOP package and is rated for industrial temperature ranges.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates programmable logic blocks including Configurable Logic Blocks (CLB) and Configurable Low-Power Clocks (CLC) for custom digital functions.
• Provides flexible analog capabilities through a 10-bit ADC, a DAC, and a comparator for signal conditioning.
• Supports multiple communication interfaces including Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART), SPI, and I2C.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring programmable logic integration
• Battery-powered devices utilizing low-power operation modes
• Motor control applications using PWM and CCP modules

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VAO' against official Microchip documentation to confirm it denotes a valid environmental or packaging variant rather than a standard commercial designation. Ensure the procurement channel provides traceability to the manufacturer's original datasheet. Confirm that the 'T' prefix indicates tape-and-reel packaging if reel quantity handling is required for assembly.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires the combination of 14 KB Flash and 1 KB RAM within a 20-pin SSOP footprint. It is suitable for applications needing both analog conversion and configurable digital logic without external components. Compare pin counts and peripheral sets against the PIC16F18344 or PIC16F18346 if package size constraints differ.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC16(L)F183xx series, which focuses on high peripheral density in small packages. The series shares architectural similarities with the PIC16(L)F1834x and PIC16(L)F184xx families but offers distinct memory sizes and pin configurations. It utilizes the enhanced mid-range core architecture common to modern PIC16 devices.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Check the PIC16F18344T-I/SSVAO for identical functionality with reduced memory. Consider the PIC16F18346T-I/SSVAO for increased I/O count in the same package. Verify pin compatibility before substituting with other PIC16(L)F183xx variants.
