1 min read
Microchip has announced a new member of its 8 and 14 pin PIC16F61X 8bit PIC microcontroller range, targeting cost effective general purpose applications.
The PIC12F617 mcu comes in a 3 x 3mm dfn package and features 3.5kbyte of self programmable Flash program memory and peripherals such as a 10bit adc, comparator, pwm and vref for closed loop control applications.
The mcu provides 3.5kbyte of Flash programmable memory with a self read write capability. According to Microchip, this serves as a low cost alternative to data eeprom and is suitable for applications that require remote updates, or the ability to store system data or look up tables. The microcontroller features an 8MHz internal oscillator, an on chip 4channel 10bit adc, a comparator with hysteresis and a pwm with complementary outputs designed for applications such as LED lighting control, motor control, capacitive touch keys and system monitors.
Microchip has also announced a price reduction on the rest of the PIC16F61X range, including the PIC12F609, PIC12F615, PIC16F610, PIC16F616 mcus, and the corresponding high voltage variants.
