Key Features

  • eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology supports 1.8 V minimum supply at 20 MHz and sleep currents below 20 nA for long battery life
  • 32 KB Flash and 1536 bytes RAM with up to 64 MHz clock frequency enable complex embedded firmware execution in an 8-bit architecture
  • 44-pin QFN package (7x7 mm) integrates ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, and PWM peripherals for versatile embedded control in compact PCB layouts

Applications

The PIC18LF45K22-I/ML is well suited for battery-powered embedded control applications such as smart meters, home automation controllers, and portable medical devices where operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V minimizes power consumption. Its 32 KB Flash and 64 MHz clock support moderately complex firmware with real-time control loops, multi-protocol communication stacks, and sensor fusion algorithms. The compact 44-pin QFN package fits within space-constrained PCB designs in IoT edge nodes, industrial sensor modules, and consumer electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what minimum supply voltage can PIC18LF45K22-I/ML operate and what clock speed does it achieve at that voltage?

The PIC18LF45K22-I/ML can operate at a minimum supply voltage of 1.8 V while maintaining up to 20 MHz clock frequency. At higher supply voltages between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, it scales up to the full 64 MHz maximum clock rate, giving designers flexibility to trade speed for lower supply voltage and reduced power consumption in battery-operated systems.

How does PIC18LF45K22-I/ML compare to PIC18F45K22 for a 3.3 V IoT sensor node?

Both share the same 32 KB Flash, 1536 bytes RAM, and 44-pin QFN package, but the LF variant supports 1.8 V minimum supply and its XLP sleep modes can drop below 20 nA standby current. For a 3.3 V sensor node with duty-cycled wireless transmission, the LF model's lower sleep current extends battery life by 20–40% compared to the standard F version operating in deep sleep, making it the preferred choice for coin-cell or single-AA powered designs.

What communication peripherals are integrated in PIC18LF45K22-I/ML for sensor data acquisition?

The PIC18LF45K22-I/ML integrates multiple serial communication modules including 2 EUSART (UART), MSSP modules supporting SPI and I2C, and a 10-bit ADC with up to 13 input channels. This allows simultaneous connection to RS-232 host interfaces, SPI sensors, I2C EEPROMs, and analog transducers on a single chip, reducing external component count in sensor acquisition designs operating at up to 64 MHz.

Which embedded control applications are best served by the 44-pin QFN package of PIC18LF45K22-I/ML?

The 44-pin QFN (7x7 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) of PIC18LF45K22-I/ML provides 36 or more GPIO pins in a compact footprint ideal for motor control, HVAC controller boards, and industrial I/O expanders where pin count exceeds what 28-pin packages can offer but board area is still constrained. The exposed pad also improves thermal dissipation, supporting continuous operation across the full -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
