Microchip introduces six new low cost 8-bit enhanced mid-range core microcontrollers
Key Facts:
• eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) with high peripheral integration and memory density
• Supports development of cost-sensitive, feature-rich designs
• mTouch™ capacitive touch sensing & communication interface peripherals
• Integrated capture-compare PWMs and temperature-indicator module
• 5V operation in a choice of packages from 28 to 68 pins
These new, general purpose MCUs feature Microchip’s eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology which offers the industry’s lowest sleep currents, down to 20 nA, and active currents of less than 50 micro Amperes/MHz, to lower overall power consumption and extend battery life. The family offers the 5V operation required by many home appliance and automotive applications. An on-chip, 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with up to 30 channels enables a higher number of mTouch™ capacitive touch-sensing keys and sliders in smaller packages. Up to two EUSART, I2C™ and SPI ports enable communication with on-board peripherals. The new MCUs are available in 28-, 40-/44- and 64-pin packages and are suitable for cost sensitive applications.
Designing feature rich, low power systems at a low cost can be challenging in today’s competitive environment, so PIC16F15XX MCUs enable the development of higher-performing designs without the cost of unused features and peripherals. The MCUs combine XLP technology and 5V operation, with mTouch sensing and communication peripherals, in addition to 28 KB of self-write programme memory that can be used to store look-up tables and perform field updates. Up to 10x the number of Capture-Compare PWMs enables the implementation of lighting and motor-control designs, whilst a temperature-indicator module is available for temperature measurements.
PIC16F15XX MCUs are supported by Microchip’s full suite of standard development tools, including the PICkit™ 3 Debugger/Programmer (PG164130), the free MPLAB® IDE, the MPLAB ICD3 In-Circuit Debugger (DV164035), and the PM3 Universal Device Programmer (DV007004); as well as the HI-TECH C® Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs.
The PIC16F(LF)1516 and PIC16F(LF)1518 MCUs are available in 28-pin SOIC, SPDIP, SSOP and
4 mm x 4 mm UQFN packages. The PIC16F(LF)1517 and PIC16F(LF)1519 MCUs are available in
40- and 44-pin PDIP, 10 mm x 10 mm TQFP and 5 mm x 5 mm UQFN packages. The PIC16F(LF)1526 and PIC16F(LF)1527 MCUs are available in 64-pin 9 mm x 9 mm QFN and 10 mm x 10 mm TQFP packages.
