New PIC32 32-bit MCU families from Microchip with Ethernet, CAN, USB and 128kB RAM extend portfolio via high-performance connectivity |
||
| Microchip has built on the success of its 80MHz 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller (MCU) portfolio with three new families. The new PIC32MX5/6/7 families are designed specifically for data-intensive applications running several software stacks simultaneously and are complemented by Microchip’s free software stacks, making it easier for embedded designers to add connectivity to their applications. |
|
Key Facts:
- New 32-bit families integrate powerful processor
with comprehensive connectivity - Free, fully developed and ported software stacks help
accelerate design cycles - Large unified RAM allows complete protocol transparency
- Supported with free software libraries from Microchip
Benchmarks continue to show the best-in-class performance of the PIC32, as published in recent EEMBC CoreMark™ scores and established Dhrystone scores. The new families couple the PIC32’s leading performance with up to 128kbytes of RAM and extensive connectivity options, including 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet, two CAN2.0b controllers, USB Host, Device and OTG, and 6 UART, 5 I2C™ and 4 SPI ports. The integrated 100Mbit/s Ethernet MAC uses an industry-standard RMII/MIII interface to low-cost, commodity Physical Interface chips (PHYs), while the CAN and USB modules have a built-in DMA interface to maximise data throughput.
Microchip offers free TCP/IP and USB software stacks, including full source code, to further enable easy software development, quicker time to market and lower overall costs. Available software includes two TCP/IP software stacks, along with libraries for USB Host and Device, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), multiple file systems, advanced graphics, audio, and many other software products.
Migrating software across Microchip’s 600-plus 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontroller portfolio is easy, as its development tools, USB stacks and TCP/IP stacks span the entire range of PIC MCUs. Additionally, the new PIC32MX5/6/7 families are pin compatible with the existing PIC32 and 16-bit PIC24F USB MCU families.
The new PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit was designed to enable easy Ethernet-based development, and the PIC32 USB Starter Kit II is an upgrade of Microchip’s existing USB starter kit for the new families. Owners of the Explorer 16 Development Board can purchase a plug-in module for development with the new PIC32MX5/6/7 families.
