Microchip Technology has introduced a new family of microcontrollers (MCUs) the PIC24FJ128GC010 that integrates Microchip's on-chip precision 16-bit ADC and 10 Msps 12-bit ADC, plus a DAC and dual operational amplifiers (op amps) along with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology for extended battery life in portable medical and industrial applications.
The integration of a 16-bit ADC, USB and LCD into a single low-power MCU allows for very small form-factor, battery-powered applications.The PIC24FJ128GC010 family represents a significant cost reduction over a multi-chip implementation, enabling lower noise, faster throughput, smaller PCB size, and faster time to market.
We started with the customer's end-product in mind debugging the noise and communication so designers get consistent analog performance across applications. We also created a comprehensive starter kit on which our customers can build their software, hardware, and sensors – drastically improving their development time by eliminating the need to design a board, said Joe Thomsen, Director of Microchip's MCU16 Division.
The PIC24FJ128GC010 family is supported by Microchip's MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC24F Intelligent.Integrated.Analog.
The new PIC24FJ128GC010 MCU family is available today for sampling and volume production. The PIC24FJ128GC010 (128 KB Flash) and PIC24FJ64GC010 (64 KB Flash) are available in 100-pin TQFP and 121-pin BGA packages, whereas PIC24FJ128GC006 (128 KB Flash) and PIC24FJ64GC006 (64 KB Flash) are available in 64-pin TQFP and QFN packages.
