PIC16LF1507-E/ML

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC16LF1507-E/ML is an 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC16(L)F150x family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a high-performance RISC CPU with 49 instructions and operates at clock frequencies up to 20 MHz. The device includes 2 Kwords (2048 words) of Flash program memory and 128 bytes of data RAM. Key peripherals include a 10-bit ADC with 12 external channels, four 10-bit PWM modules, two Configurable Logic Cells (CLC), a Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO), and a Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG). It supports eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology with operation voltages ranging from 1.8V to 3.6V.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Supports in-circuit serial programming and debugging via two pins with code protection capabilities.

Microcontrollers Applications

• General-purpose embedded control systems
• Battery-powered devices requiring low power consumption
• Motor control applications utilizing PWM and CWG modules
• Sensor interface circuits using ADC and temperature indicator

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-E/ML' corresponds to the QFN-20 package and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) required for your design. Confirm that the 'LF' designation indicates the lower voltage operating range (1.8V to 3.6V) suitable for your power supply constraints. Ensure compatibility with your manufacturing process for surface-mount assembly.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component if your application requires a balance of processing speed and peripheral richness in a compact 20-pin package. Consider the PIC16LF1507-E/ML over higher-memory variants if 2 Kwords of Flash and 128 bytes of RAM are sufficient. Evaluate the need for XLP features if battery life is critical, noting the specific current consumption characteristics at 1.8V.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This device belongs to the PIC16(L)F150x series of 8-bit flash microcontrollers. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the PIC16LF1503 and PIC16LF1509 but offers a specific combination of memory size and I/O count. The -E/ML suffix denotes the extended temperature grade and QFN packaging, distinguishing it from PDIP or SOIC variants within the same silicon revision.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other members of the PIC16(L)F150x family, such as the PIC16LF1503 or PIC16LF1509, provided their memory sizes and peripheral sets meet your requirements. Verify software compatibility when migrating between devices with different memory capacities or peripheral counts.
