PIC18F “K42” 8-Bit Microcontroller Family

Microchip's PIC18(L)F24K42 and PIC18(L)F25K42 families of microcontrollers consist of 10 highly integrated products, ranging from 16 KB to 32 KB of Flash memory with package options covering 28- to 48-pins. These products are equipped with a comprehensive and rich set of core independent peripherals (CIP) and intelligent analog features allowing for many functional tasks to be done in hardware: saving code, validation time, core overhead, and power consumption.

The MCUs feature a 12-bit ADC with computation (ADC²), direct memory access (DMA), vector interrupt (VI) controller, and other system enhancements. They are ideal for an extensive range of applications and markets, including automotive, industrial control, Internet of Things (IoT), medical, and white goods. The MCUs offer a full suite of core independent peripherals for safety critical applications (cyclic redundancy check with memory scan, windowed watchdog timer, 24-bit signal measurement timer, hardware limit timer, complementary waveform generation), up to eight hardware PWMs, and multiple communications interfaces. Implementing several common tasks can be simplified and accelerated by utilizing the configurable logic cell.
