PIC16(L)F1773/6/7/8/9
Description
PIC16(L)F177X microcontrollers feature a high level of integration of intelligent analog and digital peripherals for a wide
range of applications, such as lighting, power supplies, battery charging, motor control and other general purpose
applications. These devices deliver multiple op amps, 5-/10-bit DACs, high-speed comparators, 10-bit ADC, 10-/16-bit
PWMs, programmable ramp generator (PRG) and other peripherals that can be connected internally to create closed
loop systems without using pins or PCB area. The 10-/16-bit PWMs, digital signal modulators and tri-state output op
amp can be used together to create a LED dimming engine for lighting applications. The peripheral pin select (PPS)
functionality provides flexibility, eases PCB layout and peripheral utilization by allowing digital peripheral pin mapping
to an I/O.
