Microchip has announced the world's first serial EEPROM supporting the Advanced Communications Riser Special Interest Group (ACR SIG) specification.
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.
This new PIC microcontroller family offers standard and enhanced Flash memory technologies, both offering endurance of up to 100,000 erase/write cycles with 40 year data retention.
Both families feature In-Circuit Serial Programming capability, allowing the microcontroller to be programmed after assembly, providing increased flexibility and manufacturing efficiency and faster time to market.
The enhanced Flash devices are also self-programmable under software control and contain 256byte of high-endurance data EEPROM supporting up to 1,000,000 erase/write cycles.
With unique nanowatt technology, these microcontrollers offer power-managed modes that make them ideal for battery and low-power applications.
Additional features include: core performance of up to 40MHz (10MIPS); 32KHz to 32MHz (8MIPS) software-configurable internal oscillator; wide voltage range of 2.0-5.5V, and a -40 to +125C temperature range; 10bit 100Ksample/s ADC with up to 13 signal channels; two analogue comparators; programmable brownout reset and programmable low-voltage detect; SPI, I2C and AUSART (supporting LIN, RS485 and RS232); and two capture/compare/PWM modules.
All eight microcontrollers are supported by Microchip's high-performance development systems, including the MPLAB integrated development environment, MPLAB C18 C compiler, MPLAB ICD 2 in-circuit debugger, and MPLAB ICE 2000 in-circuit emulator.
These new microcontrollers are available today for general sampling, and volume production is expected at the end of September.
