Lowest-cost member of the PIC18F88X family provides design engineers with a lower-cost migration option.

New from Microchip, the PIC16F882 is the lowest-cost member of the PIC18F88X family to date The PIC16F882 provides design engineers with a lower-cost migration option

The PIC16F882, along with the other four members of the PIC16F88X family, are pin- and code-compatible with other 28/40-pin PIC microcontrollers - offering a wide range of migration options, while providing a host of new features.

The PIC16F88X enhancements include dual internal oscillators with clock switching and fail-safe clock mode; up to 14 ADC channels; an advanced dual comparator module featuring a set/reset latch; and low-power enhancements that extend battery life.

The PIC16F88X family is supported by the full suite of Microchip's development tools, including the PICkit 2 development programmer (PG164120), the free MPLAB IDE integrated development environment and the low-cost MPLAB ICD 2 in-circuit debugger.

In addition, a processor module for the MPLAB ICE 2000 emulator is expected in March.

The PIC16F883, PIC16F884, PIC16F886 and PIC16F887 microcontrollers are in production now.

Production volumes of the PIC16F882 microcontroller are expected in April.

The PIC16F882, PIC16F883 and PIC16F886 come in 28-pin PDIP, SOIC, SSOP and QFN packages, whereas the PIC16F884 and PIC16F887 are available in 40-pin PDIP and 44-pin QFN and TQFP package options.
