World's first serial EEPROM supporting ACR SIG
Microchip has announced the world's first serial EEPROM supporting the Advanced Communications Riser Special Interest Group (ACR SIG) specification.
The devices are fully compatible with Microchip's range of PIC microcontrollers making them an excellent choice for cost reduction of existing 20-pin designs or upward migration of simpler designs to add more functionality.
The new devices are a compatible extension of the PIC16F685/687/689/690 series.
The board layout, software, and tool suite can be completely re-used without modification giving engineers the freedom to design platform-based systems.
Both new microcontrollers feature nanoWatt Technology to minimise power consumption - including a Precision Internal Oscillator (operating from 31kHz up to 8MHz), an Ultra-low-power Wakeup function, an Enhanced low-power Watchdog Timer and an Enhanced low-power 16-bit Timer with Gate Control.
The new devices are supported by Microchip's suite of development tools, including the free MPLAB IDE (Integrated Development Environment), the low-cost PICkit 2 Starter Kit, and the MPLAB ICD 2 (In-Circuit Debugger).
