General-purpose 8-bit MCU

26 June 2013 DSP, Micros & Memory

Microchip has expanded its PIC16F75X family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring intelligent analog and core-independent peripherals, making them ideal for general-purpose applications as well as power supplies, battery charging, LED lighting, power management and power control/smart energy systems.

The new PIC16F753 MCU builds on the success of the popular PIC12F752; it offers all the same key features such as integrated Complementary Output Generator (COG) peripheral that provides non-overlapping, complementary waveforms for inputs such as comparators and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals, while enabling dead-band control, auto shutdown, auto reset, phase control and blanking control.

Additionally, the new chip offers an op-amp with 3 MHz of gain bandwidth product (GBWP) and a slope compensation circuit to help in switch mode power supply (SMPS) applications. The new MCU also features 3,5 KB of self read-write program memory, 128 B of RAM, an on-chip 10-bit ADC, 9-bit DAC, capture/compare PWM modules, high-performance comparators, and two 50 mA-capable I/Os.

The high-voltage version of the MCU incorporates a shunt regulator that allows operation from 2 V to an unspecified user-defined maximum voltage level, with less than 2 mA operating current. This high-voltage variant is ideal for cost-sensitive applications with high-voltage power rails. Additionally, the 8-channel, 10-bit ADC can be used to implement various sensors and mTouch sensing applications, including capacitive touch.

The PIC16F753 is supplied in a 16-pin 4 x 4 mm QFN package, as well as 14-pin PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages.
