PIC16F15325T-I/ST

The PIC16F15325T-I/ST is an 8‑bit Microchip microcontroller (PIC16F1 family) designed for compact, low‑power embedded control. It combines a simple 8‑bit core with on‑chip Flash, RAM and EEPROM, plus a solid set of peripherals: multiple I/O pins, timers (0/1/2), CCP/PWM, ADC with multiple channels, comparators, a voltage reference, and serial communications (USART/UART, SPI, I2C). It supports hardware features such as brown‑out reset, watchdog timer, and configurable interrupts, with flexible oscillator options (internal/external). The “T‑I/ST” suffix indicates Tape & Reel packaging and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Target applications include sensing, motor control, power management, and user interfaces in appliances, automotive, and consumer devices. For exact pinout, memory size, and electrical specs, consult the datasheet. Development uses Microchip tools like MPLAB X IDE and XC8, with PICKit or ICD for programming/debugging. In short: a compact, low‑power 8‑bit MCU with essential peripherals and Microchip ecosystem support.
