Microchip Technology Inc. redefines the world of analog microcontrollers by combining high performance 8-bit RISC processing power and 10/12-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. The Microchip PICmicroŽ 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) family offers the broadest range of advanced analog MCUs on the market today for system solutions that both streamline system integration and reduce cost.
Historically, high precision analog and digital microcontrollers rarely converged on a single device. Now Microchip breaks tradition by offering products that include built-in A/D precision and a wide variety of analog and digital peripherals to address the needs of your application.
- Programmable Low Voltage Detect (LVD)
Allows the low voltage detection range to be chosen at system level design via software for more reliability and security of operation.
- Programmable Brown-out Detect/Reset (BOD)
Programmable BOD offers the system level design engineer more flexibility and reliability to meet their system requirements.
- On-Chip Voltage Reference
Ensures accuracy of the analog peripherals. The On-Chip Voltage Reference provides stable voltage supply for sensor devices and ratio metric conversion from non-linear sensor waveforms.
- Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP)
SPI™ and Master Mode I2C™ for easy expansion of the system peripherals.
- USARTs with 9-Bit Addressing Mode
RS-485 compatible USART, which can be used in multi-drop data acquisition applications.
Further, Microchip’s innovative Migratable Memory™ technology provides socket and software compatibility among all of its equivalent ROM, OTP and FLASH memory MCUs. Migratable Memory allows you to match the selection of MCU memory technology to the product life cycle of your application, providing an easy migration path to a lower cost solution when you need it.
