Low-Power Analog Solution


Our PIC16F17576 family of MCUs features a new low-power comparator, voltage reference and Analog Peripheral Manager (APM) for ultra-low-power analog performance.

This MCU family also features up to four operational amplifiers with a dynamic gain ladder, which makes these MCUs an excellent choice for high-precision analog designs.

PIC16F17576 Featured Peripherals

< 3 uA Continuous Analog Thresholding

Ultra-Low-Power Comparator

The low-power comparator reduces energy consumption by operating only when needed, rather than running continuously. This allows for continuous analog thresholding at less than 3.0 µA so that battery-operated applications can efficiently monitor signals without excessive power drain. 

High-Precision Analog Processing

4× Op Amps with Dynamic Gain Ladder

The PIC16F17576 features up to four operational amplifiers (op amps), with two having a dynamic gain ladder, enabling precise signal amplification and conditioning. This flexible gain adjustment enhances sensitivity for small signal measurements, while being able to switch the gain to capture a larger dynamic analog range. 

Constant Power Supply

Ultra-Low-Power Voltage Reference

The PIC16F17576 features a low-power voltage reference that provides a constant power supply while optimizing energy consumption. It provides stable operation for analog functions while minimizing power draw, which makes it an excellent choice for energy-efficient applications.

Disable Unused Analog 

Analog Peripheral Manager (APM)

The Analog Peripheral Manager (APM) can enable or disable analog peripherals on the fly, which minimizes total power consumption. This is the first PIC16F series MCU equipped with an APM.

Getting Started


The PIC16F17576 family seamlessly integrates with MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC), a complimentary software plug-in for our acclaimed MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This tool offers a user-friendly graphical interface to effortlessly tailor peripherals and application-specific functions.
