Frequently Asked Questions
How low can the PIC16LF1826-I/SS supply voltage go, and at what clock speed?
The PIC16LF1826-I/SS operates at a minimum supply voltage of 1.8 V while running at up to 16 MHz, enabling direct operation from a pair of NiMH cells or a single LiPo cell at end-of-discharge. At 3.3 V the device runs at full 32 MHz speed, and XLP Sleep mode reduces current to approximately 20 nA for maximum battery runtime.
Which serial communication interfaces are integrated in this microcontroller?
The device includes a full-duplex UART, an SPI-capable MSSP module, and an I2C-capable MSSP module, providing 3 independent serial buses within the 20-pin SSOP package. This allows simultaneous connection to a UART radio module, an SPI display, and an I2C environmental sensor without GPIO bit-banging overhead.
How many ADC channels does the PIC16LF1826-I/SS support, and what is the resolution?
The integrated SAR ADC provides 10-bit resolution across up to 12 input channels, enabling multi-point analog measurement such as temperature, humidity, and voltage monitoring in a single IC. Conversion results at 10-bit precision allow applications to distinguish signal differences as small as roughly 3.2 mV on a 3.3 V reference rail.
When is the PIC16LF1826-I/SS a lower-power alternative to the standard PIC16F1826?
The LF (low-voltage) variant is preferred when the system runs from a supply between 1.8 V and 3.6 V and requires XLP Sleep currents of approximately 20 nA versus the higher Sleep current of the standard 5 V PIC16F1826. For coin-cell or single-alkaline-cell designs where quiescent current directly determines shelf life, the LF variant can extend battery life by an order of magnitude over standard-voltage alternatives.
