PIC micros with more power control options

28 January 2004 DSP, Micros & Memory Access Control & Identity Management

Microchip offers new microcontrollers that have up to 8K words of reprogrammable Flash program memory and 368 bytes of RAM. The PIC16F737/747/767/777 can operate at up to 5 MIPS at 20 MHz. In addition, they feature three enhanced nanoWatt Technology modes that allow total control of system power consumption. These devices are socket-compatible with existing PIC microcontrollers, and yet can offer up to 10x power reduction using the new power management features. The family also offers three pulse-width modulation (PWM) modules with safe shutdown features for 3-phase motor control, 10-bit ADC and realtime clock. Additional nanoWatt Technology features include: an on-chip multifrequency oscillator operating at up to 8 MHz (with fast startup), flexible clock switching, 2-speed startup from reset, a fail-safe clock monitor, and a low-current programmable watchdog timer for safety critical applications. Serial interfaces include a USART module, SPI and I2C.
