40 MHz 8-bit PIC with CAN — what this part is
The Microchip PIC18F2685-I/SP is an 8-bit PIC® MCU from the PIC18F family, built around a 40 MHz core that delivers one instruction cycle per four clock periods — effectively 10 MIPS. It carries 96 KB of Flash program memory, 3.25 KB of SRAM, and 1 KB of EEPROM for nonvolatile parameter storage. The 28-pin SPDIP through-hole package suits prototyping, low-to-mid volume production, and environments where socketed or hand-solder assembly is preferred.
4.2V–5.5V supply — 5V rail ready
The supply range of 4.2V to 5.5V means this MCU runs directly from a standard 5V rail without an external LDO, simplifying the power tree in automotive and industrial designs where 5V is already present.
This is the standard industrial range for a 5V MCU; no AEC-Q100 automotive qualification is listed, so for under-hood or safety-critical automotive use, a separate qualification review is needed.
Active lifecycle — no EOL risk
For the latest PCN status and date-code availability, an RFQ confirmation is the cleanest path.
