Easy interfacing to faster microcontrollers
Microchip has added two new devices to its PIC16C92X family of 8bit one-time-programmable microcontrollers with integrated liquid-crystal display controller.
In addition, they feature three enhanced nanowatt technology modes that allow total control of system power consumption.
These new devices are socket-compatible with existing PIC microcontrollers, and yet can offer up to 10x power reduction using the new power management features with minimal additional software.
The family also offers three pulsewidth modulation (PWM) modules with safe shutdown features for three-phase motor control, 10bit analogue-to-digital conversion (ADC) and real time clock functionality.
Additional nanowatt technology features include: an on-chip multifrequency oscillator operating at up to 8MHz (with fast startup), flexible clock switching, two-speed startup from reset, a fail-safe clock monitor, and a low-current programmable watchdog timer for safety critical applications.
Serial interfaces include a USART module, SPI and I2C.
These new PIC microcontrollers come in 28- and 44-pin QFN, SOIC, SDIP, SSOP, PDIP and TQFP packages.
The devices are supported by Microchip's development tools, including MPLab IDE (integrated development environment), the MPLab ICD 2 (in-circuit debugger), the MPLab ICE 2000 (in-circuit emulator), the Pro Mate II modular device programmer, and the PICStart Plus low-cost programmer.
