Low-power MCUs

20 January 2010 DSP, Micros & Memory

Microchip has announced two new families of 16-bit PIC24F microcontrollers (MCUs) – one with USB functionality and one for general-purpose applications – both of which feature nanoWatt XLP low-power technology, small packages and mTouch capacitive touch sensing. The PIC24FJ64GB004 USB family provides for peripheral, embedded host and on-the-go (OTG) implementations. The PIC24FJ64GA104 general-purpose family features 16 MIPS performance, 32 or 64 KBytes of Flash, 8 KBytes of RAM, a capacitive touch sensing peripheral, realtime clock and calendar (RTCC), a 10-bit A/D, and the ability to reconfigure digital I/O pins via Peripheral Pin Select. Both families are available in 28-pin QFN, SOIC and PDIP packages, and 44-pin QFN and TQFP packages. Microchip’s nanoWatt XLP technology provides current consumption down to 20 nA in deep sleep mode.
