Specifications

  • PIC16F1455 Full-Speed USB PIC
  • 48MHz Clock Speed using the internal oscillator
  • USB self-tunes from the USB Host which eliminates the need for an external crystal)
  • 14Kbytes Linear Program Memory Addressing
  • 1024 Bytes Linear Data Memory Addressing

Input / Output

  • 8 General Purpose I/O pins exposed (RA4, RA5, RC0, RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4, RC5)
  • 1 General Purpose I/O pin shared with VPP/MCLR (RA3)
  • 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with 5 inputs (AN3, AN4, AN5, AN6, AN7)
  • Two 10-bit PWM modules (PWM1, PWM2)
  • Note: Some pins are shared on this PIC and may not be available for simultaneous use, please see the full datasheet for details.

Applications

  • Data Acquisition – The 10-bit ADC with programmable internal references gives multiple input ranges
  • LED cubes, flashing, displays, etc. – The I/Os and PWMs allow a wide variety of configurations.  The PCB allows for the addition of 8 LEDs with no additional components to be used in a PWM configuration (i.e. heartbeats, bar scanners, etc.).  Up to 72 LEDs may be Charlieplexed using external drivers.
  • + anything else that you can think of within the constraints of this microcontroller…
