PIC18F46K80T-I/PT

PIC18F46K80T-I/PT is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in the PIC18F46K80 family. The suffix I/PT indicates Industrial temperature range and a Plastic DIP/SOIC 40‑pin package. It targets mid‑range embedded control with substantial on‑chip memory and peripherals.
Key points:
- Core: up to 40 MHz clock (~10 MIPS).
- Memory: on‑chip flash (large program space), RAM, and EEPROM (sizes vary by variant).
- Peripherals: ADC (10‑bit, multiple channels), USART/UART, SPI, I2C, PWM/CCP, multiple timers, and interrupt sources.
- Safety/power: watchdog timer, brown‑out/reset, and flexible power modes.
- I/O: a generous set of I/O pins in a 40‑pin package; industrial‑range reliability.
Development: MPLAB X IDE with XC8/XC16 compilers; programming/debug via PICkit 3/4 or compatible tools.
Typical uses: data acquisition, sensor interfacing, simple motor control, and general embedded control. For exact memory counts, pinout, and peripheral details, refer to the specific device datasheet for your package variant.
