PIC16F15325-I/ST

PIC16F15325-I/ST is an 8-bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in the PIC16F1 family. It combines a compact PIC core with on‑chip flash, RAM and EEPROM, plus a rich set of peripherals. Typical features include a 10‑bit ADC, multiple timers, analog comparators, and serial interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART). It supports standard low‑power modes (Idle and Sleep) and includes a watchdog timer for reliability. The -I/ST suffix indicates industrial temperature range and a standard package variant. This device is suitable for small control tasks, sensing/data acquisition, motor control, and simple communications in consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. For exact memory size, I/O count, clock options and the full peripheral list, consult the PIC16F15325 datasheet.

Closest equivalents are other members of Microchip’s PIC16F1532x family: PIC16F15323-I/ST and PIC16F15324-I/ST. They use the same PIC16F1 core, share the same peripherals (ADC, timers, USART), and offer similar packaging options as PIC16F15325-I/ST; only I/O count and memory differ. These are the practical drop-in alternatives in most designs. For exact pin compatibility, verify the datasheet and package variants.
