Microchip has announced several new 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) with active currents of less than 50 μA/MHz and very low sleep currents. The PIC12F182X and PIC16F182X extend Microchip’s Enhanced Mid-range 8-bit core product line into the 8-pin segment, bringing the total number of Enhanced 8-bit core PIC MCUs to 16, in packages ranging from 8 to 64 pins. With their low power and high levels of integration, including mTouch capacitive touch-sensing and multiple communications peripherals, the new general-purpose devices are well suited for a wide range of applications in the appliance, consumer and automotive markets, among others.
The Enhanced Mid-range 8-bit architecture provides up to a 50% increase in performance, and 14 new instructions that result in up to 40% better C code execution efficiency over previous-generation 8-bit PIC16 MCUs. The new MCUs include dual I²C/SPI interfaces, more PWM outputs with independent time bases, and a data signal modulator that enables designers to combine many functions into a single MCU.
The PIC12F182X and PIC16F182X run at frequencies up to 32 MHz, and offer a software selectable internal oscillator operating from 31,25 kHz to 32 MHz. Program Flash memory is offered up to 14 KB, while data EEPROM is 256 Bytes and data memory is up to 1 KB. The MCUs feature up to four 8-bit and one 16-bit timers, with real-time clock support. They operate at voltages from 1,8 V to 5,5 V, including full analog peripheral operation.
