Introduction
The PIC16F13276 microcontroller family, with its focused set of peripherals, provides an effective method to implement hardware-based solutions.
This device family includes the Configurable Logic Block (CLB) peripheral, enabling users to incorporate hardware-based custom logic into their applications. The CLB is comprised of 32 individual logic elements. Each logic element’s Look-Up Table (LUT) based design offers vast customization options, while the CPU-independent operation improves the response time and power consumption.
The PIC16F13276 microcontroller family also offers Enhanced Code Protection features that can be used to provide increased security and protection of user firmware and data. These features include the ability to disable the programming and debugging interface to allow for one time device programmability and effectively block any unauthorized attempts to communicate with the device via the In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) interface.
The PIC16F13276 microcontroller family is available in variety of packages ranging from 8 pins to 40 pins and offers up to 28 KB of Program Flash Memory, up to 2 KB of RAM and 256 bytes of Data Flash Memory (EEPROM).
Additional features include a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADCC) capable of up to 200 ksps; a 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC); two fast Comparators (50 ns response time); and a collection of other peripherals for timing control and serial communications with SMBus compatibility, making the PIC16F13276 family well-suited for various applications such as real-time control, digital sensor nodes, and market segments such as industrial and automotive.
