PIC16LF1615-E/ML

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC16LF1615-E/ML is an 8-bit microcontroller featuring a C Compiler Optimized RISC architecture with 49 instructions. It includes 8 KW (14 KB) of Flash program memory and 1024 bytes of Data SRAM. The device operates at clock frequencies up to 32 MHz with a minimum instruction cycle of 125 ns. It supports an operating voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V and functions within industrial (-40°C to 85°C) and extended (-40°C to 125°C) temperature ranges.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Includes specialized peripherals for embedded motor control, such as Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), Signal Measurement Timer (SMT), and Angular Timer.
• Features intelligent analog components including a 10-bit ADC, two comparators, an 8-bit DAC, and Zero-Cross Detection (ZCD).
• Provides digital logic capabilities through four Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) and a Math Accelerator with PID controller.
• Supports safety-critical systems via Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) with memory scan and a Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT).

Microcontrollers Applications

• Embedded control of small motors
• Home appliances and white goods
• Safety-critical systems

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates the Extended temperature rating (-40°C to +125°C) and 'ML' denotes the QFN package type. Confirm that the 'LF' designation ensures low-voltage operation down to 1.8V. Cross-reference the datasheet revision DS40001770D to ensure compatibility with current silicon errata sheets before finalizing procurement specifications.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-endurance data storage is required, as it provides 1024 bytes of High-Endurance Flash (HEF) capable of 100K erase/write cycles. The inclusion of Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) allows flexible pin mapping for digital I/O. Consider the eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) features if sleep mode currents around 50 nA are necessary for battery-operated applications.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This device belongs to the PIC16(L)F1615/9 family, designed for 14/20-pin count packages. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the PIC16LF1619 but offers distinct memory sizes and I/O counts. The family utilizes the Enhanced Mid-Range CPU core and integrates advanced timing and analog modules suitable for general-purpose and motor control applications.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

PIC16LF1619-E/ML: Offers identical core features but includes additional I/O pins and ADC channels in a 20-pin package.
