PIC18F26K22T-I/ML

Introduction to PIC18F26K22T-I/ML
- It is Microchip’s 8‑bit PIC18 microcontroller in the PIC18F26K22 family, intended for embedded control tasks in small to mid‑range systems.
- Core and memory: a compact 8‑bit MCU with flash program memory and RAM (plus optional EEPROM) for firmware and data storage.
- Peripherals (typical for PIC18F26K22 devices): timers, ADC, comparators, PWM/Capture, and serial interfaces such as USART, SPI, and I2C, plus flexible I/O.
- Industrial package: the T‑I/ML suffix denotes Industrial temperature range (roughly −40°C to 85°C) and lead‑free, molded packaging.
- Development: supported by Microchip MPLAB X IDE with the XC8 compiler; programming/debugging via PICkit or compatible tools.
- Applications: general embedded control, sensing, automation, and small energy‑efficient devices requiring reliable 8‑bit performance.
Note: exact memory sizes and peripheral counts can vary by exact device variant; consult the datasheet for precise specs.
