Product details
Overview
PIC16F18324-E/ST from Microchip Technology is a 14-pin, eXtreme Low Power (XLP) 8-bit microcontroller with 7 KB Flash, 512 B SRAM, and 256 B EEPROM. It integrates 10-bit ADC (11 channels), dual comparators, 5-bit DAC, four CCP modules, two CWGs, four CLCs, NCO, DSM, EUSART, and MSSP (SPI/I²C). It operates from 2.3V–5.5V at -40°C to +85°C and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power industrial controls.
For engineers reviewing the PIC16F18324-E/ST datasheet, PIC16F18324-E/ST pinout, PIC16F18324-E/ST application, or PIC16F18324-E/ST equivalent, key selection criteria include its 14-pin TSSOP package, Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) flexibility, 40 nA sleep current, integrated analog peripherals, and XLP-optimized power modes for energy-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The PIC16F18324-E/ST implements an enhanced mid-range RISC CPU with 48 instructions and a 16-level hardware stack, supporting DC–32 MHz operation (125 ns instruction cycle). Its core-independent peripherals-including four CLCs for combinational/sequential logic, two CWGs with dead-band control, and NCO with 0.0001% frequency step resolution-enable autonomous signal generation without CPU intervention.
Power management includes IDLE, DOZE, and SLEEP modes plus Peripheral Module Disable (PMD); analog subsystem features 10-bit ADC with Sleep conversion, fixed voltage reference (1.024/2.048/4.096 V), and rail-to-rail 5-bit DAC. All digital I/Os support programmable pull-ups, slew rate control, and interrupt-on-change with edge select.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the PIC16F18324-E/ST?
The PIC16F18324-E/ST supports a maximum clock input of 32 MHz, delivering a 125 ns minimum instruction cycle time. Its internal oscillator is factory-calibrated to ±2% at 4 MHz, and optional 4× PLL enables higher-frequency operation when driven by external sources. This frequency capability applies directly to the PIC16F18324-E/ST across its full 2.3V–5.5V operating range.
Does the PIC16F18324-E/ST support in-circuit programming and debugging?
Yes, the PIC16F18324-E/ST supports full In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) via RA0/ICSPDAT and RA1/ICSPCLK pins, and in-circuit debugging using the same two-pin interface. No additional debug header or dedicated debug port is required. This capability is fully implemented in the PIC16F18324-E/ST silicon and documented in Section 33.0 of its datasheet.
Can the PIC16F18324-E/ST perform ADC conversions while in Sleep mode?
Yes, the PIC16F18324-E/ST supports ADC conversions during Sleep mode using the internal FVR or external reference. The ADC module can be triggered autonomously by timer or peripheral events, allowing wake-up on threshold crossing without CPU involvement. This feature is explicitly enabled and verified for the PIC16F18324-E/ST in DS40001800E Section 22.0.
What communication interfaces are integrated into the PIC16F18324-E/ST?
The PIC16F18324-E/ST integrates EUSART (RS-232/RS-485/LIN compatible), Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) supporting SPI and I²C/SMBus/PMBus™, and configurable CLC-based logic for custom protocols. All interfaces support Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for flexible pin assignment. These capabilities are confirmed for the PIC16F18324-E/ST in Table 1-1 and Sections 30–31 of DS40001800E.
Is the PIC16F18324-E/ST pin-compatible with other devices in the PIC16F183xx family?
The PIC16F18324-E/ST shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with PIC16F18323-E/ST in the 14-pin TSSOP package, enabling direct substitution where memory/peripheral requirements align. However, it is not pin-compatible with 20-pin variants like PIC16F18344 due to differing pin counts and PORTB inclusion. This compatibility is defined in DS40001800E Figures 1 and Table 1-2 for the PIC16F18324-E/ST.
