Summary
Building upon Microchip’s leadership in 8-bit microcontrollers,
the PIC16F72X Family (PIC16F/726/724/723/722) is a
versatile, general-purpose product line that enhances the
useability and features of any end-product while keeping
costs low. The PIC16F72X Family provides a general
purpose approach to bringing a higher level of intelligence
and reliability into cost sensitive applications including;
interactive toys or consumer products such as electric
tooth brushes and blenders. With fl exible product options
and low cost, PIC16F72X allows for increased application
functionality while minimizing BOM costs.
The addition of the integrated (yet selectable) mTouch™
Capacitive Sensing Module allows customers to further
distinguish their products. The mTouch Sensing Solution
peripheral makes it easy to add proximity sensing or
capacitive touch-sensing user interfaces in place of
mechanical buttons or switches. Additionally, the mTouch
peripheral can operate while the device is in “sleep mode”
with a total power consumption of <10 μA, bringing further
power savings to the user. When designing cell phones,
home appliances or thermostats – mTouch technology
provides an inexpensive, reliable and aesthetically pleasing
interface.
The 28- and 40-pin PIC16F72X Family have an operating
voltage range of 1.8-5.5V, with the low-power PIC16LF72X
variants offering lower standby and other power consumption
specifi cations from 1.8-3.6V. All feature a 16 MHz internal
oscillator; up to 14 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
channels; communication interfaces (SPI, I
and two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules; plus
the mTouch Capacitive Sensing Module peripheral. These
highly integrated devices are well-suited for a wide range of
general-purpose applications in the appliance, industrial,
consumer electronic and many other markets. All variations
feature a Timer1 Gate that runs from the internal 16 MHz
oscillator, providing ease in conditional event counting and
measurements. With up to 14 ADC channels, two CCP
modules and communication peripherals, these
PIC® microcontrollers increase design fl exibility with
the ability to interface with external devices such as
environmental sensors, as well as provide additional system
control and monitoring.
