Microchip Technology launched several new 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston. The new MCUs feature configurable logic and a high level of peripheral integration in 6- to 20-pin packages.
The PIC10F(LF)32X and PIC1XF(LF)150X MCUs also incorporate new peripherals, including Configurable Logic Cells (CLCs), Complementary Waveform Generators (CWGs) and Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCOs), enabling functionality that was not possible before with low pin-count MCUs. These general-purpose MCUs enable designers to enhance functionality, reduce design size and decrease the cost and power consumption of products.
The CLC peripherals on the PIC10F(LF)32X and PIC1XF(LF)150X MCUs enable software control of combinational and sequential logic, which increases the on-chip interconnection of peripherals and I/Os, thereby reducing external components, saving code space and adding functionality.
