Microchip announced a new series of low pin-count 32-bit PIC32 microcontrollers (MCUs) that provide 61 DMIPS of performance in packages as small as 5 x 5 mm, for space-constrained and cost-sensitive designs.
The PIC32 ‘MX1’ and ‘MX2’ MCUs are the smallest and lowest-cost PIC32 microcontrollers, and are the first PIC32s to feature dedicated audio and capacitive-sensing peripherals. They also feature USB On-the-Go (OTG) capabilities, making them ideal for developing audio accessories and other applications in the consumer, industrial, medical and automotive markets.
Rated for operation up to 105°C, the PIC32 MX1 and MX2 MCUs include up to 128 KB of Flash and 32 KB of RAM, two I²S interfaces for audio processing, an integrated hardware peripheral for adding mTouch capacitive touch buttons or advanced sensors, and an 8-bit parallel master port (PMP) interface for graphics or external memory.
The new devices also feature an on-chip 10-bit, 1 MSps, 13-channel analog-to-digital converter and serial-communications peripherals, with the PIC32 MX2 MCUs adding USB OTG. Easing design effort is Microchip’s Peripheral Pin Select feature, which allows developers to ‘remap’ most of the chip’s digital-function pins, simplifying layout and design modifications.
The PIC32 MX1 and MX2 devices are compatible with Microchip’s 16-bit PIC24F product line for easy migration, and are supported by the MPLAB X IDE single development environment for all of Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs.
