Nye 8-bit MCU'er fra Microchip
Nye 18-pin 8-bit PIC microcontrollere understøtter 'eXtreme' low power teknologi samt kapacitiv touch teknologi (in english).
Microchip announces the PIC16(L)F1826 and PIC16(L)F1827 general-purpose 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs)- the latest PIC MCUs to feature the Company’s Enhanced Mid-range core.
With this extension into the 18-pin range, the PIC16(L)F1826/7 MCUs provide an advanced peripheral set that includes an mTouch capacitive touch-sensing module and dual I2C™/SPI interfaces, along with 'LF' versions featuring industry-leading low power consumption via Microchip’s nanoWatt XLP eXtreme Low-Power technology.
The introduction of these MCUs’ provides an excellent low cost, pin-compatible migration path for legacy 18-pin PIC MCUs, while delivering increased performance and industry-leading low power operation.
With Microchip’s Enhanced Mid-range architecture, the MCUs provide a 50% increase in performance and 14 new instructions that make programming with the C language more efficient, resulting in up to 40% better code efficiency over previous-generation 8-bit PIC MCUs.
In addition to the mTouch capacitive touch-sensing module and dual I2C/SPI interfaces, peripheral enhancements include enhanced PWM functionality, and a Digital Signal Modulator that enables designers to customise communication interfaces and combine many functions into a single MCU.
The integration of Microchip’s nanoWatt XLP technology, which lowers standby current to just 0.030µA @ 1.8V (typical), delivers market-leading current consumption, further improving overall energy efficiency and extending battery life in a broad range of applications.
The PICkit 2 18-pin Demonstration Board provides a quick and easy way to evaluate and develop with the PIC16(L)F1826/7 MCUs. The board includes four LEDs, a potentiometer for an ADC, a pushbutton, a prototyping area, a 6-pin connector for the PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer, as well as two bare boards for designers to use for their own project.
