Microchip announced the PIC18F47J13—the first 28-pin 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) to host 128 KB Flash. The device is also available in a 44-pin package. The PIC18F47J13 MCU offers very low power combined with support for capacitive touch panel. Additionally, an on-chip 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) delivers the accuracy required for many advanced sensor, instrumentation and measurement applications.
These features enable low-power, battery-controlled applications such as security systems, irrigation systems, remote controls, video-game controllers, wireless sensor networks and portable medical devices. These applications have been growing in their need for more customer interface options, which requires more program memory.
With such a small package, large memory and low power, it is possible to achieve a small footprint on the PCB and in your budget.
Development Tool Support
As always, Microchip offers low cost development tools to help market introduction. The PIC18F47J13 MCU is supported by the PIC18 Explorer Board (part # DM183032, $99.99) and PIC18F47J13 Plug-In Module (part # MA180030, $25). Additionally, designers can use Microchip’s complete suite of standard development tools with the new MCUs, including the user-friendly and free MPLAB® IDE and corresponding suite of emulators, programmers and development boards, along with the MPLAB C or HI-TECH C® compiler for PIC18 MCUs.
Packaging, Pricing & Availability
Package options for the PIC18F47J13 MCU include 28-pin QFN, SOIC, SPDIP and SSOP packages, as well as 44-pin QFN and TQFP packages. Pricing starts at $2.11 each, in 10,000-unit quantities. Samples can be ordered today, at http://www.microchip.com/get/T721. |

M14K(TM) and M14Kc(TM) Cores Combine High Performance, Compact Area and Low Power for Microcontroller and Low-Footprint Embedded Applications
November 2009 - MIPS Technologies introduced a new core family providing the highest levels of system performance for extremely cost-sensitive embedded applications such as 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), home entertainment, personal entertainment and home networking. The new MIPS32® M14K(TM) and M14Kc(TM) cores are the first MIPS32-compatible cores that also execute the new microMIPS(TM) instruction set architecture (ISA), achieving high performance of
1.5 DMIPS/MHz with an advanced level of code compression. The microMIPS ISA maintains 98% of MIPS32 performance while reducing code size by 35%, translating to significant silicon cost savings. This is very similar to the 32/16 - bit instruction set used in the ARM Cortex-M3 family. |

PIC24F04KA201 16-bit MCU Family Combines eXtreme Low Power 20 nA Sleep Currents and Small Packages at Less Than $.99 Each in High Volume
Microchip announced the low-cost, low pin count PIC24F04KA201 family of 16-bit microcontrollers—the latest to feature nanoWatt XLP extreme low power technology. Starting at less than $.99 each in high volumes, the PIC24F04KA family makes it even more cost effective to take advantage of the world’s lowest sleep-current consumption microcontrollers, with typical sleep currents as low as 20 nA. This low power and lower cost, combined with small-footprint 14- and 20-pin package options, makes the PIC24F04KA201 MCU family ideal for battery-powered applications, energy-harvesting applications and other power-constrained applications that are also cost and space constrained.

New PIC16F and PIC16LF devices with Enhanced Mid-range 8-bit Core Microchip is still investing real R&D in their lower end and mid-range PIC1x families of microcontrollers. The new PIC16LF1937 is one of their currently 6 member family with the enchanced core. For customers that have made the decision to go with the propriety PIC architecture this is definitely a very good sign. Many other companies turn away from 8-bit and focus on 32-bit devices while Microchip continues the evolution of 8- and 16-bit with excellent low-power features. With features such as Brown-Out Reset BOR, Power-On Reset POR and a 600nA Watch Dog Timer WDT, Microchip enables low cost system design with high reliability. |
