Introduction

The PIC16F171 microcontroller family has a suite of analog peripherals that enables precision sensor applications. This product family is available from 8 to 44-pin packages in a memory range of 7 KB to 28 KB, with speeds up to 32 MHz. This product includes a low-noise Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp), a 12-bit differential Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADCC), two 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC), a 16-bit Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) peripheral, and many more waveform control and communication peripherals. This small form factor, feature-rich device is well suited for low-cost, energy-efficient analog sensor applications with higher resolution requirements.
