Microchip adds self-programmable flash memory to 8bit family
The company has revealed details about a new member of its 8pin and 14pin PIC16F61X 8bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) family, targeting cost-effective general-purpose applications.
The PIC12F617 MCU features 3.5kbyte of self-programmable flash program memory, and peripherals such as a 10bit ADC, comparator, Pulse-Width Modulator, and VREF for closed-loop-control applications; all in a miniature 3mm x 3mm DFN package.
It provides 3.5kbyte of flash programmable memory with a self read-write capability. This serves as a low-cost alternative to data EEPROM and is useful when an application requires remote updates, or the ability to store system data or look-up tables. The microcontroller features an 8MHz internal oscillator, an on-chip 4-channel 10bit ADC, a comparator with hysteresis and a PWM with complementary outputs that provide a framework for applications such as LED lighting control, motor control, capacitive touch keys and system monitors.
Along with this new product introduction, Microchip also announced a price reduction on the rest of the PIC16F61X family members, including the PIC12F609, PIC12F615, PIC16F610, PIC16F616 MCUs, and their corresponding high-voltage variants.
