Introduction to PIC18F87K90T-I/PT
- The PIC18F87K90T-I/PT is Microchip’s 8-bit PIC18 MCU in the 87K90 family, aimed at embedded control with a broad peripheral set and industrial-use suitability. The -I/PT suffix denotes Industrial temperature rating and a specific packaging variant; confirm exact details in the datasheet.
Key features (high level)
- 8-bit core running up to about 40 MHz, delivering several MIPS for control tasks.
- Program memory with embedded EEPROM and RAM for data storage.
- Rich peripheral set: timers, PWM/CCP, ADC, and common serial interfaces (USART/UART, I2C, SPI); flexible I/O.
- USB capability is available on many PIC18F87K90 devices for USB device applications; verify the exact variant.
- Low-power modes and debugging support.
Typical uses
- USB-enabled data logging, automation, motor control, instrumentation, and embedded USB devices.
Note
- Exact memory sizes, USB presence, and package options vary by variant. See the Microchip datasheet and product page for the PIC18F87K90T-I/PT.

Do you want pin-compatible equivalents within Microchip’s PIC18 family or cross-vendor substitutes? Also specify: package (DIP, SOIC, QFP, etc.), temperature range (I/Pt), memory size, and key peripherals. With those, I can list direct substitutes or closest pin-compatible alternatives.
