Very low power 10-bit microcontroller

29 January 2003 DSP, Micros & Memory

Microchip's PIC18F4320 microcontroller with 'nanoWatt Technology' features six enhanced power-managed software-controlled modes. Has power consumption as low as 0,1 µA in standby and wide operating range from 2 to 5,5 V. Device also encompasses a new low-current watchdog timer, a 2-speed start-up from a reset or sleep mode and a new fail-safe clock monitor that is used to detect an external clock failure. This is a 10 MIPS (100 ns instruction execution), easy-to-program (only 77 single word instructions) CMOS Flash-based 10-bit micro with PIC architecture in 18-pin package. Upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX, PIC16CXX and PIC17CXX. The PIC18F1220 features a C-compiler-friendly development environment, 128 bytes of EEPROM, self-programming, an ICD, capture/compare/PWM functions, seven channels of 10-bit ADC, AUSART and Advanced Low Power Oscillator controls.
