32-bit MCUs operate over wide temperature range
9 November 2016
DSP, Micros & Memory
Microchip announced an extension to its 32-bit PIC32MZ EF microcontroller (MCU) family with its first automotive-grade PIC32 MCUs and a higher-speed variant operating over the industrial temperature range.
The PIC32MZ EF family features high core performance up to 250 MHz; an integrated floating-point unit (FPU); a wide selection of peripherals and excellent connectivity options including controller area network (CAN). The extended-temperature portfolio is ideal for several critical automotive and industrial applications that require reliable performance and robustness at higher temperatures.
The portfolio includes Microchip’s first PIC32 MCU to meet the Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC-Q100 Grade 1 specification for operation over a temperature range from -40°C to 125°C. In addition, a higher-speed, 250 MHz/795 CoreMark variant operates over the extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The high-speed variant is ideal for applications such as high-resolution audio that require slightly higher core performance to provide faster audio processing and streaming.
Devices in the PIC32MZ EF family are available today in volume production in a variety of package options including TQFP, QFN, VTLA and LQFP.
