PIC16LF1789-I/MV

PIC16LF1789-I/MV is Microchip’s 8‑bit PIC in the PIC16LF1789 family. It’s a low‑power, mid‑range microcontroller designed for small embedded tasks with a compact memory footprint and a rich set of peripherals.
Key points:
- Core and memory: 8‑bit PIC core with Flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM for data storage.
- Peripherals: Analog features (ADC and comparators), multiple timers, PWM/CCP, and serial peripherals (USART/UART, I2C, SPI), plus watchdog and interrupt system.
- Power and clocks: supports low‑power sleep modes and multiple oscillator options (internal RC and/or external clock) for battery‑powered designs.
- I/O and packaging: configurable I/O pins suitable for small embedded projects; the I/MV suffix denotes Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and a specific package/variant. Exact memory size, pin count, and package should be confirmed in the datasheet.
- Use cases: small sensors, basic control tasks, energy‑efficient devices, and hobby/education projects.
- Development: MPLAB X IDE with the XC8 compiler is supported.
