40 MHz 8-bit PIC core in a 28-SOIC package
The Microchip PIC18F2410-I/SO is an 8-bit MCU from the PIC® 18F family, built around a PIC core running at 40 MHz.
The 40 MHz core clock gives this MCU a 100 ns instruction cycle (4 clocks per instruction), which is fast enough for real-time control loops like motor commutation or closed-loop PID at moderate update rates. The 5 V-tolerant supply range (4.2 V to 5.5 V) means it can interface directly with legacy 5 V sensors, relays, and logic without level shifters, saving board space and BOM cost. The 16 KB Flash is sized for mid-complexity firmware — think a few thousand lines of C with a modest lookup table — while the 768 B RAM handles a handful of buffers and state variables. If your application needs more memory headroom, the PIC18F family offers pin-compatible density upgrades up to 64 KB Flash.
