MCUs offer advanced analogue integration and 5V operation
Adding to its range of 16bit PIC microcontrollers, Microchip has introduced the PIC24F 'KM' family.
The new mcus offer up to 16KB of flash, 3KB ram and 512B EEPROM, along with advanced analogue integration and low pin count options for cost sensitive automotive, consumer, medical and industrial applications.
The devices, which support both 3 and 5V applications, integrate a 12bit a/d converter with threshold detection, 8bit d/a converters for analogue control loops and precision comparator references.
They also offer a Configurable Logic Cell (CLC) for increased on chip interconnection of peripherals. Microchip says the CLC module and configuration tool help in creating custom real time logic functions and in coding the circuit graphically instead of in assembly or C, thereby saving time for the programmers.
