PIC18F13K22-I/SS

PIC18F13K22-I/SS is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller for low‑ to mid‑range embedded tasks. It belongs to the PIC18F13K22 family and is offered in Industrial temperature range (-I) with a surface‑mount (SS) package. It combines a PIC18 8‑bit core with on‑chip Flash program memory, SRAM, and EEPROM, plus a rich set of peripherals. Features typically include: ADC with multiple channels, timers (including a PWM/Capture/Compare module), UART/USART, SPI, I2C (MSSP), analog comparators, and programmable I/O pins; interrupt controller, watchdog timer, Brown‑out Detector, MCLR reset, and various clock/oscillator options. It supports low‑power sleep modes for energy efficiency and is widely supported by Microchip tools (MPLAB X IDE, XC8/C18 compilers). Packaging in I/SS indicates a surface‑mount package suitable for commercial products. For exact memory sizes, pin count, ADC resolution, and peripheral counts, refer to the official datasheet and product page.
