PIC16F15324T-E/STVAO

The PIC16F15324T-E/STVAO is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in a 24‑pin package with an extended temperature rating. It belongs to the PIC16F1xxx family and is suited for low‑power, general‑purpose embedded control.
Key points:
- Core and memory: 8‑bit CPU with Harvard architecture; on‑chip Flash for code, RAM for data, and EEPROM (sizes vary by device).
- Peripherals: multiple general‑purpose I/O, 10‑bit ADC, timers, PWM/CCP, EUSART/UART, I2C (MSSP), SPI, watchdog timer, and other common peripheral blocks.
- Power/temperature: operates roughly 2.0–5.5 V; extended temperature variants typically rated -40°C to +125°C.
- Packaging/availability: ST suffix denotes a specific package/reel/configuration for the -E temperature variant (24‑pin family).
- Development: supported by MPLAB X IDE with XC8 (and compatible) toolchains.
For exact pin count, memory sizes, package details, and electrical characteristics, consult the PIC16F15324 datasheet/product page. This variant is suitable for sensing, small control loops, basic motor control, and other compact embedded tasks.
