Key Features
- 8-bit PIC16 core at up to 20 MHz with 7KB Flash and ADC, operating as low as 1.8 V for direct single-cell battery or energy-harvesting supply designs
- nanoWatt XLP technology reduces sleep-mode current below 20 nA, enabling multi-year coin-cell battery life in periodic wake-up sensor applications
- 28-pin SSOP package with up to 25 GPIO lines balances I/O density with compact board area for sensor nodes, motor controllers, and HMI interfaces
Applications
The PIC16LF723A is designed for ultra-low-power sensor nodes, remote controls, and wearable health monitors that operate from 1.8 V single-cell supplies or energy-harvesting transducers. Its nanoWatt XLP sleep current below 20 nA allows coin-cell CR2032 batteries to sustain multi-year standby operation in smoke detectors, door sensors, and asset trackers. Industrial handheld instruments benefit from its 20 MHz performance at 3.3 V and 28-pin SSOP footprint for keyboard scanning, LCD segment driving, and multi-channel ADC data acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How low is PIC16LF723A's minimum operating voltage, and what supply configurations does that enable?
The PIC16LF723A operates down to 1.8 V, enabling direct operation from a single NiMH cell (1.2 V minimum), two AAA alkaline cells (1.8 V at end of life), or an energy-harvesting circuit with a small supercapacitor. This eliminates the need for a boost regulator in many battery-powered sensor designs, reducing BOM cost and standby power consumption.
For a door alarm sensor requiring 5-year battery life, how does PIC16LF723A's sleep current budget compare to a CR2032?
In deep sleep mode with nanoWatt XLP, the PIC16LF723A draws approximately 20 nA. A CR2032 cell holds 220 mAh, which at 20 nA quiescent current translates to over 1,200 years of standby time. In practice, periodic wake-ups for sensing and RF transmission bring average current to the low µA range, enabling 5–10 year service life depending on event frequency.
Does PIC16LF723A include an ADC, and how many analog channels can it sample?
Yes, the PIC16LF723A includes a 10-bit ADC with up to 11 input channels multiplexed across its 28-pin SSOP GPIO lines. This allows simultaneous monitoring of temperature, voltage, and current sensors in multi-channel data-logging applications without external analog multiplexers, keeping the BOM minimal for portable instruments.
How does the SSOP-28 package size of PIC16LF723A compare to a standard DIP-28 for prototyping?
The SSOP-28 measures 10.2 mm × 5.3 mm with a 0.635 mm pin pitch, requiring a surface-mount layout. A DIP-28 occupies approximately 36 mm × 15 mm at 2.54 mm pitch — roughly 10 times more board area. For production designs the SSOP-28 is preferred; for breadboard prototyping, a DIP-28 SOIC adapter or the PIC16LF723A in a DIP-variant is more convenient.
