Microchip has announced 12 new high performance, 8-bit Flash microcontrollers (MCUs), including Microchip's first USB and LCD MCU families to include an on-chip, high-speed 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) peripheral.
The three new families join the general-purpose PIC18F4523 family to provide customers with 16 high-performance PIC18 MCU options with high-resolution, on-chip ADCs. The PIC18F8723 high-memory, general-purpose family offers a rich peripheral set and performance of up to 10 MIPS. The PIC18F4553 family adds an integrated full-speed USB transceiver and 12 MIPS performance. Finally, the PIC18F8493 LCD MCU family offers integrated LCD drive capability for low-power display applications.
These integrated ADC features provide the precision required for high-speed, high-resolution sensor measurements in applications such as medical, industrial and utility metering. Additionally, these microcontroller families include nanoWatt Technology features, which provide design engineers with multiple options for effectively managing power consumption and extending battery life.
All three families are supported by Microchip's standard, high-performance development systems, including the free MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE) with Visual Device Initialiser, the MPLAB C18 C Compiler, and the MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger.
