- 28KB Flash program memory with 2KB RAM — ample space for sensor fusion firmware and communication stacks
- 10-bit ADC with flexible PPS (Peripheral Pin Select) routing enables rapid hardware prototyping without PCB respins
- Dual CCP and dual PWM modules support simultaneous motor control and dimming in a single low-cost MCU
- Operates from as low as 1.8 V at 16 MHz, making it compatible with single-cell LiPo and two-cell alkaline battery systems
Applications
The PIC16F15256-E/SS is a cost-effective solution for consumer and industrial embedded control tasks such as smart home sensors, appliance controllers, and portable metering devices. Its dual PWM/CCP outputs and integrated EUSART/SPI/I2C peripherals make it well-suited for motor drive, LED dimming, and serial sensor interfacing. The XLP low-power modes and 1.8 V minimum operation extend battery life in remote IoT endpoints and handheld instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum supply voltage at which PIC16F15256-E/SS can operate at full speed?
The PIC16F15256-E/SS operates at 1.8 V minimum while still running at 16 MHz, and scales up to full 32 MHz clock at higher voltages up to 5.5 V. This wide supply range makes it compatible with single-cell LiPo batteries and standard 3.3 V or 5 V systems without external regulation.
How many PWM and CCP channels does PIC16F15256-E/SS provide, and what can they drive?
The PIC16F15256-E/SS includes 2 independent PWM channels and 2 CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules, giving up to 4 timing and control outputs. These are sufficient to drive brushed DC motors, servo controls, or LED dimmers simultaneously while the 10-bit ADC samples feedback signals in real time.
For a compact sensor node, how does the 28-pin SSOP package of PIC16F15256-E/SS compare to DIP alternatives?
The SSOP-28 package has a 5.3 mm body width with 0.65 mm lead pitch, occupying significantly less PCB area than a through-hole DIP-28. This makes the PIC16F15256-E/SS ideal for miniaturized sensor PCBs where board space is at a premium, while retaining 28 I/O-accessible pins for peripheral connections.
When would PIC16F15256-E/SS be preferred over a PIC16 variant with less Flash?
The 28KB Flash of PIC16F15256-E/SS accommodates larger firmware images — useful when integrating a bootloader alongside an application, or when using a high-level RTOS that consumes 8 KB to 16 KB. Designs that must store lookup tables, font data, or calibration coefficients of several kilobytes benefit from the extra program memory without stepping up to a 16-bit MCU.
