Description
The PIC18F8723 family of devices offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational performance at an economical price – with the addition of high-endurance, Enhanced Flash program memory. In addition to these features, the PIC18F8723 introduces design enhancements that make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many high-performance, power-sensitive applications. Special Features 12-Bit A/D Converter: The PIC18F8723 family implements a 12-bit A/D Converter. A/D Converters in both families incorporate programmable acquisition time. This allows for a channel to be selected and a conversion to be initiated, without waiting for a sampling period and thus, reducing code overhead. Details on Individual Family Members Devices in the PIC18F8723 family are available in 64-pin and 80-pin packages. The devices are differentiated from each other in the following ways: Flash program memory (96 Kbytes for PIC18FX628 devices and 128 Kbytes for PIC18FX723). A/D channels (12 for PIC18F6628/6723 devices and 16 for PIC18F8628/8723 devices). I/O ports (seven bidirectional ports on PIC18F6628/6723 devices and nine bidirectional ports on PIC18F8628/8723 devices). External Memory Bus, configurable for 8 and 16-bit operation All other features for devices in this family are identical. Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the PIC18F8723 family are available as both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard devices with Enhanced Flash memory, designated with an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F6628), accommodate an operating VDD range of 4.2V to 5.5V. Low-voltage parts, designated by “LF” (such as PIC18LF6628), function over an extended VDD range of 2.0V to 5.5V.
