Microchip unveiled a new family of PIC32MX3/4 microcontrollers (MCUs) in 64/16 KB, 256/64 KB and 512/128 KB Flash/RAM configurations. These new MCUs are coupled with comprehensive software and tools from Microchip for designs in connectivity, graphics, digital audio and general-purpose embedded control.
The new devices are an expansion of the PIC32MX3/4 series, offering higher RAM memory options and higher integration of peripherals at a lower cost. They feature 28 x 10-bit ADCs and 5 UARTS, 105 DMIPS performance, serial peripherals, graphic display, capacitive touch, connectivity and digital audio support.
The PIC32MX3/4 family is supported by a comprehensive set of tools and software. These include general software development tools, such as the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment and the MPLAB XC32 C/C++ compiler.
Application-specific tools include the Microchip Graphics Display Designer X and the Microchip Graphics Library, which provide a visual design tool that enables quick and easy creation of graphical user interface (GUI) screens for applications.
These MCUs are also supported by a rich set of protocol stacks from Microchip, including TCP/IP, USB device and host, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. For applications in digital audio, Microchip provides software for tasks such as sample rate conversion (SRC), audio codecs including MP3 and AAC, as well as software for connecting smartphones and other personal electronic devices.
