What are the key features of PIC16F916-I/ML?
- 14KB Flash program memory with 256B EEPROM enables non-volatile data storage in battery-powered IoT sensors and appliance controllers without external memory
- Operates down to 2V minimum supply at 4MHz, extending battery life in low-power consumer and industrial applications
- Integrated ADC and 20MHz maximum clock frequency in a 28-pin QFN package balance peripheral richness with minimal PCB footprint
What is PIC16F916-I/ML used for?
The PIC16F916-I/ML is well suited for low-cost embedded control applications such as home appliance controllers, HVAC panels, and smart lighting where an 8-bit MCU with on-chip EEPROM and ADC is sufficient. Its low 2V minimum operating voltage extends battery life in portable sensors, remote controls, and wearable accessories. The compact 28-pin QFN package makes it a natural fit for PCB designs with strict size constraints, such as motor-speed controllers and industrial sensor nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Flash and RAM sizes of PIC16F916-I/ML, and how do they compare to typical 8-bit MCU requirements for a home appliance controller?
The PIC16F916-I/ML provides 14KB of Flash program memory, 256B of EEPROM for non-volatile parameter storage, and 352B of SRAM for runtime data. For a typical home appliance controller handling button inputs, display output, and basic state machine logic, 14KB Flash is ample, and 352B RAM is sufficient for most foreground-background firmware architectures. The 256B EEPROM allows persistent storage of user settings across power cycles without requiring an external serial memory chip.
How low can the supply voltage go on PIC16F916-I/ML, and which battery chemistries does this enable?
The PIC16F916-I/ML operates down to a 2V minimum supply at up to 4MHz clock speed, enabling use with single-cell NiMH batteries that discharge to approximately 1.0V to 1.2V per cell and are paired for a nominal 2.4V supply. It is also compatible with lithium coin cells that maintain above 2V for most of their discharge curve. This low-voltage operation eliminates the need for a boost converter in many coin-cell or AAA-battery powered remote controls, smoke detectors, and sensor tags, directly reducing BOM cost and PCB complexity.
Does PIC16F916-I/ML include an ADC, and how many channels are available for analog sensor inputs?
Yes, the PIC16F916-I/ML integrates an ADC with multiple input channels accessible via its I/O pins in the 28-pin QFN package. The ADC allows direct connection to resistive sensors, thermistors, potentiometers, and other analog transducers without an external analog-to-digital converter chip. At a 20MHz clock, the ADC conversion time is fast enough for control loop update rates in the hundreds of hertz, which covers most slow-to-medium-speed process control and monitoring applications encountered in industrial and consumer embedded designs.
For a compact motor-control PCB, how much board space does the 28-pin QFN package of PIC16F916-I/ML occupy compared to a DIP package?
The 28-pin QFN (VQFN-28) package used by PIC16F916-I/ML measures approximately 6mm x 6mm with a very low 0.9mm profile, compared to a standard 28-pin DIP package that spans roughly 36mm x 7.5mm. This means the QFN occupies about 36 mm2 versus roughly 270 mm2 for DIP, a reduction of more than 85% in footprint area. For a motor-control board where power MOSFETs, gate drivers, and current-sense resistors already consume significant space, the compact QFN leaves more room for high-current traces and thermal relief pours.
