MCUs with floating point unit

14 October 2015 DSP, Micros & Memory

Microchip has added a new series to its high-performance PIC32MZ family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) that features an integrated hardware floating point unit (FPU) for high performance and lower latency in intensive single- and double-precision maths applications. This new 48-member PIC32MZ EF series also offers a 12-bit, 18 MSps analog-to-digital converter for high-speed, wide-bandwidth applications. The devices are powered by Imagination’s MIPS M-Class core at 200 MHz/330 DMIPS and 3,28 CoreMarks/MHz, integrated with dual-panel, live-update Flash (up to 2 MB), large RAM (512 KB) and the widest selection of connectivity peripherals in the entire PIC32 portfolio, including a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, Hi-Speed USB MAC/PHY and dual CAN ports.
