Frequently Asked Questions

What operating voltage range does the PIC16LF88-I/SS support?

The PIC16LF88-I/SS operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, allowing it to run directly from two AA batteries or a 3.3 V regulated rail, which makes it ideal for low-power and battery-operated embedded systems.

How much non-volatile memory does the PIC16LF88-I/SS provide for data storage?

The device includes 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory plus 7 KB of Flash program memory, giving designers on-chip storage for calibration tables, configuration parameters, and firmware up to 4096 instructions.

Which serial communication interfaces are available on the PIC16LF88-I/SS?

The PIC16LF88-I/SS integrates a USART for RS-232/RS-485 links, an MSSP module supporting both SPI and I2C at up to 400 kHz, enabling connection to sensors, EEPROMs, displays, and other peripherals without external interface ICs.

Is the PIC16LF88-I/SS suitable for smart-meter or energy-monitoring designs?

Yes. The device's 7-channel 10-bit ADC sampling at up to 50 ksps, combined with 2.0 V minimum supply and a 20-pin SSOP footprint, makes it a cost-effective choice for residential energy monitors and smart-meter front-end controllers.

How does the PIC16LF88-I/SS compare to the PIC16F88 variant for portable applications?

The 'LF' variant is rated down to 2.0 V versus 4.5 V for the standard PIC16F88 at full 20 MHz speed, reducing active-mode supply current and extending battery life by roughly 30–50% in typical portable sensor applications.
