Microchip has announced that all of its 6-pin PIC10F microcontroller family are now available in ultra-small 2 x 3 mm dual flat no-lead (DFN) packages for space-constrained applications. Three members of Microchip's 8-pin Baseline PIC microcontroller family are also available in a 2 x 3 DFN, providing additional I/O and functionality with the same footprint. The 2 x 3 DFN package requires 30% less board space than a SOT-23 package, at a reduced height.
The PIC10F family was introduced over two years ago as the world's first 6-pin microcontroller, and has seen wide acceptance by both traditional and non-traditional microcontroller users, including many space- and cost-constrained applications where electronic intelligence was not previously used. The 6- and 8-pin PIC microcontrollers are also suitable for providing functions in a larger system such as LED control, power sequencing or battery authentication.
Key features of the 6-pin PIC10F200/202/204/206/220/222 and 8-pin PIC12F508/509/510 variously include:
* 8-bit ADC.
* Analog comparator(s).
* 25 mA source/sink digital I/O.
* 8-bit timer and Watchdog Timer.
* Precision internal oscillator.
* Device Reset Timer and Power On Reset (POR).
* Low-power sleep mode (100 nA).
* Wide operating voltage range (2,0 to 5,5 V).
* Up to 1K instructions (x12-bit) of Flash program memory.
