PIC16F1936T-I/ML

The PIC16F1936T-I/ML is Microchip’s 8‑bit PIC16F microcontroller in an industrial‑temp, molded‑leadframe (ML) package. It’s designed for cost‑sensitive embedded control tasks and supports a broad set of peripherals common to PIC16F devices.
Key points
- Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and ML packaging (suitable for compact boards).
- Flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM for data storage and firmware.
- Peripherals such as ADC, analog comparators, multiple timers, and a capture/compare/PWM module.
- Serial communication options (USART, SPI, I2C/MSSP) plus a robust interrupt system and watchdog.
- Features like MCLR, Brown‑Out Reset, and low‑voltage programming support.
- Typical development via MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler; supports both internal and external clock sources.
Use cases
- Small control loops, sensing and PWM, simple serial interfaces, and general-purpose embedded tasks.
Note: exact memory sizes, I/O count, and peripheral details vary by variant; consult the official datasheet for precise specs.
