eXtreme Low Power PIC® Microcontrollers with XLP Technology

PIC® MCUs Offer
eXtreme Low Power

  • Sleep currents down to 9 nA
  • Active Mode currents down to 34 uA/MHz
  • Execute code smarter, sleep longer, maximize battery life
  • Wake-up sources including Real-Time Clock (RTC), Timer (WDT), Brown-out Reset (BOR), Interrupts, Reset, or Power-on Reset (POR)
  • Integrated USB, LCD, Encryption and mTouch™ capacitive sensing

Safety for Wearable or
Remote Sensor Applications

  • Brown-out Reset down to 45 nA, protects as batteries are depleted or changed
  • Timer down to 200 nA, provides protection against system failure
  • Real-Time Clock down to 300 nA, provides precise timekeeping

Sleep Mode
Flexibility

  • RAM retention
  • Fast wake up
  • Many wake-up sources including peripherals

Deep Sleep Lowest Power Option

  • Ideal for applications that sleep a lot like wearable and wireless sensor networks
  • Includes BOR, WDT safety features
  • 7 flexible self-wake-up sources

Execute Code Smarter, Sleep longer, Maximize Battery Life

  • More than 80% of PIC® MCU instructions execute in just one CPU cycle
  • Code execution is faster
  • Slower frequency can be used with same rate of instruction execution
  • Disable unused peripherals

Benchmark execution time for your algorithm using free MPLAB® simulator and free C compilers

  • Actual execution time is more important than MHz or MIPS
