PIC16(L)F177X microcontrollers feature a high level of integration of Intelligent Analog and digital peripherals for a wide range of applications, such as lighting, power supplies, battery charging, motor control and other general purpose applications. These devices deliver multiple Op Amps, 5-/10-bit DACs, High-Speed Comparators, 10-bit ADC, 10-/16-bit PWMs, Programmable Ramp Generator (PRG) and other peripherals that can be connected internally to create closed loop systems without using pins or PCB area. The 10 and 16-bit PWMs, the Digital Signal Modulator (DSM) and tri-state output Op Amp can be used together to create a LED dimming engine. The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) functionality provides flexibility, eases PCB layout and peripheral utilization by allowing digital peripheral pin mapping to any I/O.
