Microchip lists the PIC16F15256-I/SP as Active. The part is ROHS3 compliant.
With 28 KB of Flash (28K x 8) and 2K x 8 of SRAM, the PIC16F15256-I/SP sits in the mid-range of Microchip's 8-bit portfolio. The 2 KB RAM handles a few dozen sensor readings and a transmit/receive buffer for UART or SPI.
The PIC16F15256-I/SP and PIC16F15256-I/P share the same base product number (PIC16F15256) and the same 28-DIP footprint (0.300" wide), but the suffix "-I/SP" indicates a different package variant — the SPDIP (Skinny DIP) versus the standard PDIP. Electrically they are identical in core, memory, and peripherals; the difference is the package body width. Verify the mechanical fit against your socket or PCB footprint before substituting.
Microchip's standard in-circuit debugger/programmer tools — such as the PICkit™ 4, PICkit™ 5, MPLAB® ICD 4, and MPLAB® Snap — all support the PIC16F15256 device family via the ICSP™ interface. The 28-SPDIP package exposes the ICSP pins (PGC, PGD, MCLR/VPP) on the DIP pins, so a simple ICSP-to-DIP adapter or a programming clip works for in-system programming.
