PIC16F1718-I/ML

PIC16F1718-I/ML is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller from the PIC16F1 family. The “-I/ML” suffix indicates an Industrial temperature variant in a molded package; exact pin count and packaging depend on the device variant—check the datasheet for specifics.
Key points:
- Core and memory: 8‑bit PIC core with Flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM (sizes vary by variant; see datasheet).
- Peripherals: ADC (typically 10‑bit) with multiple channels, timers, PWM/CCP, and serial peripherals (EUSART, SPI, I2C).
- Power and clock: operate from about 2.0 to 5.5 V; multiple clock options (internal oscillator and external clock options) with low‑power/sleep modes.
- Development: supported by MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler; Microchip libraries available as needed.
- Applications: suitable for embedded sensing, small control tasks, instrumentation, and industrial environments.
For exact memory sizes, I/O count, peripheral availability, and package options, refer to the official PIC16F1718-I/ML datasheet and family reference manual.
