Microchip has Added PIC10F（LF）32X and PIC1XF（LF）150X MCUs

Published:2011/9/27 3:14:00 Author:Phyllis From:SeekIC

Microchip Technology Inc. has added several 8-bit PIC microcontrollers that feature configurable logic and peripheral integration in 6- to 20-pin packages. The PIC10F(LF)32X and PIC1XF(LF)150X MCUs each feature peripherals which include configurable logic cells, complementary waveform generators and numerically controlled oscillators.

The configurable logic cells can be used for software control of combinational and sequential logic, which increases the on-chip interconnection of peripherals and I/Os, thereby reducing external components, saving code space and adding functionality.

The complementary waveform generators works with multiple peripherals to generate complementary waveforms with dead-band control and auto shutdown, which provides improved switching efficiencies. The NCO peripheral enables linear frequency control and high resolution, which is required for applications such as lighting ballast, tone generation and other resonant control circuits.

The numerically controlled oscillators enables linear frequency control and high resolution, which is required for applications such as lighting ballast, tone generation and other resonant control circuits.

The MCUs also feature power consumption of less than 30 µA/MHz in active mode, and less than 20 nA in sleep; as well as an on-chip 16 MHz internal oscillator, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and up to 4 pulse-width modulation peripherals. An integrated temperature-indicator module enables low-cost temperature measurements.

The PIC10F(LF)320 and PIC10F(LF)322 MCUs are available in a 6-pin SOT-23 package, as well as 8-pin PDIP and 2 mm x 3 mm DFN packages. The PIC12F(LF)1501 MCU will be available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, MSOP and 2 mm x 3 mm DFN packages, and the PIC16F(LF)1503 MCU in 14-pin PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages, as well as a 3 mm x 3 mm QFN package. The PIC16F(LF)1507 MCU is available in 20-pin SSOP, PDIP, SOIC, and 4 mm x 4 mm QFN packages, as will the PIC16F(LF)1508/9 MCUs, when available. Pricing starts at $0.37 each, in 10,000-unit quantities.

According to Microchip, these new MCUs expand the reach of the PIC10F, PIC12F and PIC16F families, enabling new applications for microcontrollers that didn’t exist before.
