PIC16F15325-I/ST

PIC16F15325-I/ST is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in the PIC16F family, intended for low‑cost, small‑footprint embedded designs. It combines a compact PIC16 core with on‑chip memory and a versatile peripheral set for sensing, control, and basic communications.
Key features (typical):
- Core and memory: 8‑bit PIC16F core with on‑chip Flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM for data storage.
- Power and temperature: operates from about 2.0 to 5.5 V; industrial temperature range (suffix I/ST).
- Peripherals: GPIO ports, multiple timers, 8/10‑bit ADC, analog comparators, PWM/CCP, and a set of serial interfaces (MSSP/I2C, SPI, and USART/UART).
- Other: watchdog timer, Brown‑out Reset, Power‑on Reset; in‑circuit serial programming (ICSP) support.
- Packaging: available in small packages suitable for space‑constrained designs.
Applications: general embedded control, sensing, and simple motor or interface tasks in consumer, automotive, or industrial equipment.
Note: exact Flash/RAM sizes, peripheral counts, and package options vary by variant. Check the specific datasheet for your device revision.
