Applications
The PIC16F15244-I/P is a popular choice for cost-sensitive consumer appliances, hobby robotics, and simple sensor interfaces where an 8-bit core with ADC and serial peripherals is sufficient and the 20-pin DIP format simplifies breadboard prototyping. Industrial automation applications leverage its 1.8 V operation to interface directly with low-voltage logic rails in PLCs and sensor front-ends without additional level translation. Educational projects and maker communities also benefit from the familiar DIP footprint and Microchip's free MPLAB toolchain support.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what supply voltage can the PIC16F15244-I/P operate, and does it run at full 32 MHz down to 1.8 V?
The PIC16F15244-I/P operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V it runs at up to 16 MHz, and full 32 MHz operation is available from 2.3 V and above. This flexibility makes it ideal for 3.3 V sensor nodes and 5 V industrial controllers without a dedicated regulator stage.
How much Flash and RAM does the PIC16F15244-I/P provide, and is it enough for a simple UART data logger?
The device provides 7 KB of Flash program memory and 512 bytes of SRAM data memory. A simple UART data logger storing 20-byte records and using a circular buffer of 8 entries fits comfortably within 512 bytes of RAM, leaving the 7 KB Flash for application logic, interrupt handlers, and a bootloader of up to 2 KB.
What serial interfaces does the PIC16F15244-I/P integrate, and can they operate simultaneously?
The PIC16F15244-I/P includes 1 SPI module, 1 I2C module, and 1 EUSART (UART), all of which can operate concurrently through Microchip's MSSP and EUSART peripherals. This enables a design where the MCU reads a 10-bit ADC sensor over SPI, logs data over UART at 115200 bps, and communicates with an EEPROM over I2C — all at 32 MHz without additional interface chips.
Is the PIC16F15244-I/P suitable for prototyping on a breadboard, and what programmer is needed?
Yes. The 20-pin PDIP package has a 2.54 mm through-hole pitch that fits directly into standard 0.1-inch breadboards. Programming requires only a low-cost PICkit 4 or Snap programmer connected via the 4-wire ICSP interface (MCLR, VDD, GND, PGC, PGD). The full MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler are available free of charge, making the total entry cost under $30 for a complete development setup.
