A family of 8-bit Flash PICmicro microcontrollers with new advanced motor control peripherals is available from Microchip. The 40-pin PIC18F4331/4431 and 28-pin PIC18F2331/2431 micros provide a complete solution for precise and efficient operation in many power control and motor control applications. The family's control capability is provided by three specifically designed modules. They are: power control featuring three-phase PWM capability; motion feedback including a quadrature encoder interface; and a high-speed A-to-D, operating at up to 200 kSa/s that can be synchronised with the PWM. Their PWM capability can include up to eight PWM channels with 14-bit resolution, centre alignment, programmable dead-time and two external fault-protection inputs. The devices (10 MIPS performance at 40 MHz) also feature an internal oscillator with selectable frequencies from 31,25 kHz to 8 MHz; four general-purpose timers; a clock monitor for fail-safe operation and an enhanced USART.
Security has an identity problem
Access Control & Identity Management Information Security
Cybersecurity discussions have mainly focused on defence, including stronger firewalls, tighter network controls, and better endpoint security. However, in today's world, those traditional defences have become less relevant.
