PIC16F1829T-I/SO

PIC16F1829T-I/SO is Microchip’s 8‑bit PIC microcontroller in a 14‑pin SOIC package. It’s part of the PIC16F1829 family and is intended for low‑cost, compact embedded control.
Key points:
- Package/temperature: Industrial temperature range (I) in a 14‑pin SOIC; available in Tape & Reel (T).
- Core and memory: 8‑bit MCU with Flash program memory and RAM sufficient for small control tasks (size in the kilobytes and hundreds of bytes, respectively).
- Peripherals: Analog/digital I/O with a multi‑channel 10‑bit ADC, analog comparators, timers, a PWM/CCP module, and serial peripherals (EUSART and/or MSSP for I2C/SPI).
- Power and clock: Operates from a wide Vdd (roughly 2.0–5.5 V) with flexible clock options (including internal oscillator).
- Development: Supported by Microchip tools (MPLAB X IDE, XC8 compiler) and ecosystem.
- Use case: Suitable for small embedded control, sensing, and automation tasks in space‑limited designs.
