PIC16F18346-E/SO Working Principle

The PIC16F18346-E/SO microcontroller follows the same basic instruction set architecture of the 8-bit PIC architecture. This architecture is based on a Harvard RISC architecture. This means that the instructions are executed in one clock cycle, enabling the device to achieve the highest performance. The memory organization of the PIC16F18346-E/SO microcontroller provides a complete address space for programming and data storage. The PIC16F18346-E/SO features an 8-bit in-system programmer (ISP) that allows data to be downloaded into the middle of the program memory. This allows the user to easily reprogram certain portions of the program memory without having to erase the entire memory.

The PIC16F18346-E/SO microcontroller provides several features that are necessary for embedded applications such as interrupts, sleep and power saving modes, reset and timer outputs. The PIC16F18346-E/SO also features a core independent peripheral (CIP) module with a set of peripherals that can be used to communicate with external devices. It also integrates an Enhanced Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (EUSART) module that supports up to 9 bit modulation code, generation and reception. The EUSART supports full-duplex asynchronous data transfer with auto-interrupt and auto-baud clock tracking.

The PIC16F18346-E/SO microcontroller also provides an advanced analog-digital interface with built in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module. The ADC module on this device is a successive approximation register design and has a conversion time of up to 9 μs with a resolution of 12 bits. It also features an analog temperature sensor module with up to 1024 temperature points. The analog temperature sensor can measure a wide range of temperatures from 0°C to 70°C.
