Products Detail
8-bit PICmicro® Microcontrollers: Microchip’s PICmicro® family of microcontrollers combine high performance, low cost and small package size to offer the best price/performance ratio in the industry. Based on a powerful RISC core, these 8-bit PIC® microcontrollers fall into three product architecture categories, providing a variety of options for any application requirement: • Baseline 8-bit architecture: 12-bit instruction set, 6-44 pin count, 384-3.5K bytes program memory, up to 5 MIPS • Mid-Range 8-bit architecture: 14-bit instruction set, 8-68 pin count, 896-14K bytes program memory, up to 5 MIPS • High Performance (PIC18) 8-bit architecture: 16-bit instruction set, 18-100 pin count, 8K-128K bytes program memory, up to 16 MIPS The common architecture provides users with an easy migration path from 6 to 100 pins among all families with little or no code change required. Advanced features available are: • Sophisticated timing peripherals • Embedded analog peripherals including A/D and D/A converters, comparators, PBOR, PLVD, DAC, VREF, Op Amps and PSMC • Communications peripherals (I2C™/SPI™/USB/CAN and USARTs) • Low-power, single-chip RF solutions targeting RF connectivity for high-volume embedded control applications • Battery management solutions • Flexible programming options including In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) technology, self-programming (Enhanced Flash), One-Time-Programmable (OTP), QTP, SQTP and ROM 16-bit PICmicro® Microcontrollers: The PIC24 microcontrollers build upon the high performance, wide selection of peripherals, Flash memory sizes and packaging choices found in the 8-bit PIC18 family. The PIC24 architecture, paired with the optimized MPLAB C30 C Compiler, provides the high throughput and C code density needed to achieve system performance goals and product launch schedules. • Leadership 16-bit microcontroller performance and C code efficiency • Extension of the 8-bit PIC18 microcontroller performance, memory and peripherals • Easy migration path to dsPIC® digital signal controllers with over 40 MIPS and DSP capability, MPLAB® compatibility 16-bit dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers: Microchip’s 16-bit High Performance Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) combine the best features of microcontrollers with the best features of DSPs in a single core. These dsPIC DSC devices reach speeds of up to 30 MIPS. • C compiler efficiency programming, Flash, data EEPROM, and powerful peripherals • Extensive software libraries for effortless design • Familiar microcontroller architecture and design environment Stand-Alone Analog & Interface Products: Microchip offers a broad portfolio of analog and related products: • Linear and Mixed-Signal. ADCs/DACs, digital potentiometers, op amps and comparators. • Power Management. LDO and switching regulators, charge pumps, voltage references, CPU/system supervisors and voltage detectors, battery chargers and power MOSFET drivers. • Thermal Management. Temperature sensors (logic output, voltage output, and serial output), brushless DC fan controllers, and fan fault detectors. • Interface. Peripheral products supporting industry-standard networking protocols like CAN, LIN and infrared (including IrDA® Standard infrared), as well as products that provide embedded system input/output expansion capability. Secure Data Products: Microchip’s KEELOQ® code hopping algorithm combines high security, a small package outline and a very low cost to make this an ideal solution for unidirectional RKE systems. The KEELOQ code hopping technology creates a high degree of security using a long code word length together with encryption and synchronization techniques. Memory Products: Microchip offers one of the broadest selections of serial EEPROMs in densities from 128 bits to 512 Kbits, with operating voltages down to 1.8V, in all popular bus protocols (I2C™, Microwire and SPI™ compatible). They are available in all standard temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C and packaged in the world’s smallest standard packaging; up to 16 Kbits in 5-lead SOT-23 and up to 256 Kbits in 8-lead MSOP. Development Systems: Microchip offers a full range of microcontroller development systems, including the MPLAB® ICE 2000 and ICE 9000 in-circuit emulators; MPLAB Integrated Development Environment; MPLAB C18 and C30 Compiler; the MPLAB ICD In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB PM3 full-featured device programmer; PICSTART® low-cost development system; the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit, SEEVAL® Serial EEPROM Evaluation Kit and various demonstration boards. Microchip has shipped more than 300,000+ development systems worldwide.
