Power-saving low-dropout regulator is ideal for applications requiring long battery runtimes and high tolerance for input-voltage variations
Serial I/O features support SPI and I2C communications protocols.
The PIC16F72 is code and pin compatible with the company's PIC16CR72 ROM- and PIC16C72A OTP-based microcontrollers and provides a proven migration path for adding reprogrammable Flash memory to existing applications.
The device is ideal for small memory applications such as automotive body controls, electric tools, battery chargers, and consumer appliances.
The PIC16F72 is supported by a complete range of Microchip development tools including the MPLAB in-circuit emulator 2000, the MPLAB integrated development environment, the Pro Mate II device programmer and the Picstart development programmer.
The device is available in 28-lead PDIP, SOIC, SSOP packages as well as the new 28-lead quad flat no leads (QFN) chip scale package (CSP).
