Microchip has unveiled a new series within its PIC32MX1/2 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) family that features a large 256KB Flash configuration and 16KB of RAM in small-footprint packages. These latest additions to the popular MCU family provide flexibility to low-cost applications that need complex algorithms and application code, and they are coupled with Microchip’s comprehensive software and tools for designs in graphics, touch sensing and general-purpose embedded control, says the company.
Microchip’s TC4426/TC4427/TC4428 are improved versions of the earlier TC426/TC427/TC428 family of MOSFET drivers. The newcomers have matched rise and fall times when charging and discharging the gate of a MOSFET.
The Microchip RN2483 433/868MHz LoRa-Integrated module. The RN2483 is an integrated modem with a range of over 15km (suburban) and exceptionally low power consumption, giving a battery life in excess of ten years. The module enables wireless designers to maximize range and reduce power consumption without compromising either, says the company.
Microchip Technology’s MTCH6303 projected capacitive touch controller is providing multi-touch coordinates and a ready-made multi-finger surface gesture suite.
Microchip’s MTCH6303 projected capacitive touch controller, the MTCH6303 provides multi-touch coordinates and a multi-finger surface gesture suite for touch pads and screens. The controller allows for modern user interface (UI) elements, such as pinch and zoom, multi-finger scrolling and swipes, to any embedded design, with minimal host requirements.
Microchip has announced that Audi AG is networking the Audi virtual cockpit system in its new high-class Q7 SUV Models using MOST technology, following a similar deployment in its TT coupe models. Specifically, Audi is utilizing Microchip’s OS81110 and OS81118 MOST150 Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INICs), which provide 150Mbps performance and support all MOST network data types.
The Microchip BM77 is a SIG certified dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 module. It offers developers a complete turnkey solution and is equipped with all necessary hardware and a complete software stack on-board for Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low-Energy operation.
Microchip’s RN2483 433/868MHz LoRa Module integrates a modem with a range of more than 15km (suburban) and offers low-power that enables a battery life greater than ten years.
Microchip’s new dsPIC33EP GS Series digital signal controllers (DSCs) enable power supply designs that are more energy efficient and have superior specifications. They feature higher switching frequencies, which enable the development of physically smaller power supplies that offer higher densities and lower costs.
Microchip has introduced two new 8-bit families that expand its growing portfolio of innovative PIC MCUs with Core-Independent Peripherals (CIPs). The 8-bit MCUs can now be used in a much broader range of applications, due to the growing number of these intelligent, interconnected CIPs that combine to perform functions autonomously, without the core.
Latest from Microchip comes news of the expansion of its human interface solutions portfolio with the MTCH6303, an innovative, turnkey projected-capacitive touch controller for touch pads and screens. Touch sensors with up to 1000 nodes and diagonals of up to 10-inch are supported.
Microchip has introduced the PIC32 Harmony Software Decoder Framework and Microsoft Windows Media Audio (WMA) Decoder Library for 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller (MCU)-based consumer-audio application development within the MPLAB Harmony Integrated Software Framework.
Microchip has announced that Kia Motors Corporation is enriching its infotainment system with powerful smart-phone connectivity in its flagship Kia K900 luxury sedan (known as ‘Quoris’ in some countries), using Microchip’s OS81110 intelligent network interface controller (INIC).
