PIC16LF1847-E/SS

PIC16LF1847-E/SS is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in the PIC16F family. It is a low‑power, mid‑range MCU with extended temperature rating (E) and comes in a 28‑pin SSOP package (-SS). It uses a Harvard-style core with Flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM for data storage.
Key peripherals typically include: ADC with multiple channels, timers, PWM outputs (CCP), serial communications (EUSART, I2C, SPI), analog comparators, and standard MCU features such as a watchdog timer, brown‑out/reset, interrupts, and sleep/idle modes for low power. It supports low‑voltage programming and has configurable I/O.
Development is via MPLAB X IDE with the XC8 compiler. Common applications are simple control and sensing tasks in battery‑powered or space‑restricted devices. To start, consult the datasheet for exact memory sizes, I/O pinout, and config bits, and use a PICkit or similar debugger/programmer with sample code from Microchip’s resources.
