Product details

What this 8-bit PIC brings to the BOM

The PIC18F2480-I/ML: The 8-channel 10-bit ADC and peripherals like PWM, brown-out detect, and watchdog timer cover typical sensor and actuator control loops without external glue logic.

40 MHz core and CAN — the decision drivers

At 40 MHz the PIC18 core executes most single-cycle instructions, so the throughput is roughly 10 MIPS. That is enough for real-time CAN message handling at 1 Mbps without a separate CAN controller IC. The 768 x 8 RAM is modest—enough for a few CAN mailboxes and a small state machine—but the 256 x 8 EEPROM lets you store calibration or node-ID data without an external serial EEPROM. The supply range of 4.2 V to 5.5 V matches legacy 5 V industrial backplanes and automotive 12 V battery systems after a linear regulator.

Surface-mount only; no through-hole option.

Microchip lists the PIC18F2480-I/ML as Active (current production) with ROHS3 compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Does PIC18F2480-I/ML support CAN bus?

The CAN module can handle standard and extended frames at up to 1 Mbps with the 40 MHz core clock.

What are the alternatives to PIC18F2480-I/ML?

Within the same 8-bit PIC18 family, the PIC18F2480 is the base number. A higher-pin-count sibling (PIC18F2580) offers more I/O in a 28-pin package. The PIC16LF1559-I/SS is a lower--bit option but lacks CAN and runs at 32 MHz. For a 16-bit upgrade with CAN, the PIC24FJ256GA106-I/MR is a functional step up but in a different package and core architecture.
