Microchip PIC18F8722 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller TQFP80 Package

The Microchip PIC18F8722 Flash Microcontroller is an enhanced 8-bit device in a TQFP80 package, built with nanoWatt technology for low power consumption and operating at speeds up to 40 MHz.

It is suited to demanding, connectivity-rich applications that require efficient operation alongside robust data handling. The device includes four serial ports: two synchronous serial ports supporting I²C and SPI, and two asynchronous serial ports with LIN capability. Combined with RAM for buffering and ample FLASH program memory, this connectivity makes the device well suited to complex embedded systems.

Key Features

• Ultra-low power: Typical currents of 25 μA in Run mode, 6.8 μA in Idle mode and 120 nA in Sleep mode, with an input leakage current of 50 nA.
• High-performance core: Operates at speeds up to 40 MHz and maintains backward software and hardware compatibility with the PIC18F8720.
• Peripheral set: Includes a fail-safe clock monitor, three programmable external interrupts and up to two capture/compare/PWM (CCP) modules.
• Communication standards: Supports RS-485, RS-232 and LIN/J2602.
• Analogue capabilities: Integrates a 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with 16 channels and dual analogue comparators with input multiplexing.

Reliability and Flexibility

The device offers flexible clocking with a two-speed oscillator start-up, four crystal modes and a secondary oscillator using Timer1 at 32 kHz. Its design is tailored for industrial environments and it operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
