Chapter 1. F1 LV Evaluation Platform Overview
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the F1 LV Evaluation Platform. This kit allows you to begin
development using the PIC16LF1947 microcontroller (MCU).
The PIC16LF1947 is the first in a family of enhanced mid-range microcontrollers.
These architectural enhancements allow for more memory and faster computation than
that of legacy PIC16 microcontrollers.
The PIC16F1 and PIC12F1 family of microcontrollers are a series of 8-bit
microcontrollers derived from the popular PIC16 series of 8-bit PIC
®
microcontrollers.
The F1 LV derivatives feature an enhanced CPU, support for extended amounts of
memory, improved peripherals, and XLP low power. The F1 LV Evaluation Platform
allows you to evaluate these features for your application in a simple, low-cost platform.
