For cost-effective control and sensor applications, the PIC16F18015/25/44/45 microcontrollers offer a balance of flash memory (from 7 KB to 14 KB), robust control, peripheral functions, and speeds up to 32 MHz. All devices in this family include up to 256 bytes of EEPROM, a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter with compute (ADCC), automated capacitive voltage divider (CVD) systems for advanced capacitive touch sensors, an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (DAC) module, three additional sensing/comparing PWMs, and a complementary waveform generator (CWG). They also feature four configurable logic cells for broader control functionality and a wide range of peripheral communication devices.
In contrast, the PIC16F18126/46 microcontrollers, while similar to the PIC16F180xx family in terms of memory and operating speed, offer a feature set more geared towards high-end sensor applications requiring additional digital functionality, higher resolution, and precise timing. This family features 28 KB of program flash memory, a 12-bit differential ADCC, two 8-bit DACs, a 16-bit peripheral PWM, and a CWG. This family of devices also includes four configurable logic cells for broader control capabilities and various peripheral communication devices.
