PIC18F4523T-I/PT

PIC18F4523T-I/PT is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in a 40‑pin, RoHS plastic package with Tape & Reel (PT). It belongs to the PIC18F452x family and combines a high‑level 8‑bit core with on‑chip Flash, RAM and EEPROM, plus a rich peripheral set. On‑chip peripherals typically include a 10‑bit ADC with multiple channels, timers (including a Capture/Compare/PWM module), EUSART, SPI and I2C (MSSP), and a parallel I/O port. It also offers standard MCU features such as brown‑out/reset, watchdog timer, MCLR, and in‑circuit programming/debug support (via MPLAB X, PICKit, etc.). It supports multiple oscillator options (HS/XT/LP) for versatile clocking. Common applications are embedded control, data acquisition, sensors, and basic motor/control tasks. For exact memory sizes (Flash/RAM/EEPROM), I/O count, and peripheral specifics, consult the latest PIC18F4523T datasheet and the exact device revision.
