00 — Overview

What the PIC16LF1824 does

The PIC16F1824/8 and PIC16LF1824/8 are 14/20-pin Flash microcontrollers featuring a high-performance RISC CPU and XLP technology for extreme low-power management. These devices operate at speeds up to 32 MHz with typical sleep currents of 20 nA at 1.8 V and active currents of 48 µA/MHz. The family spans 4 Kbytes of linear program memory, a 10-bit ADC with 12 channels, and multiple timer modules including an enhanced 16-bit Timer1. Available in standard and low-voltage variants, they support 1.8 V to 5.5 V operation. Engineers typically use these controllers for embedded applications requiring efficient power consumption, flexible analog peripherals, and robust clock options ranging from internal oscillators to external crystal modes.
