PIC16F1828-I/ML

PIC16F1828-I/ML is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in the PIC16F family. It is a low‑cost, general‑purpose MCU for standalone control tasks in consumer, automotive and industrial apps. It uses the classic PIC16 Harvard architecture with on‑chip flash program memory, RAM, and (optionally) data EEPROM, plus a practical set of peripherals for embedded control.
Key features (typical): 28‑pin package; Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) with lead‑free packaging (-ML). Peripherals commonly include a handful of I/O pins, timers, a serial module (EUSART or MSSP for SPI/I2C), 10‑bit ADC with multiple channels, CCP/PWM, analog comparator, interrupt controller, WDT and low‑power sleep modes.
Development: programmed with Microchip MPLAB X and the XC8 compiler; wide corpus of example code available.
Applications: simple sensors, small interfaces, hobby/educational projects, power‑supply control, and basic automotive/industrial sensing.
For exact specs (memory size, ADC channels, packaging), see the datasheet and the I/ML variant notes.

Direct equivalents outside Microchip don’t exist. Closest substitutes are other PIC16F182x devices in the same family (e.g., PIC16F1823, PIC16F1824, PIC16F1827, PIC16F1828) with the -I/ML industrial temp packaging. For a guaranteed drop-in, use the exact same device or consult Microchip’s cross-reference tool.
