Microchip's new 8-bit PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs) in 6- to 20-pin packages feature configurable logic and a high level of peripheral integration.
 
The PIC10(L)F320/322 feature new peripherals, including Configurable Logic Cells (CLCs), Complementary Waveform Generators (CWGs) and Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCOs), which introduce new functionality to low pin-count MCUs. 

They enable designers to enhance the functionality, reduce design size, and decrease the cost and power consumption for products such as small kitchen appliances; interior automotive lighting; consumer power tools; utility meters and other applications.

The CLC peripherals on the PIC10F(LF)32x MCUs enable 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 CWG works with multiple peripherals to generate complementary waveforms with dead-band control and auto shutdown, which provides improved switching efficiencies. Additionally, 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 MCUs also feature low power consumption, with currents 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, Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC), and up to 4 Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals.  An integrated temperature-indicator module enables low-cost temperature measurements.

The new MCUs are also compatible with Microchip’s standard development tools, including the PICkit™ 3 Debugger/Programmer, as well as the MPLAB® IDE, MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator and MPLAB ICD3 In-Circuit Debugger, and the Microchip and HI-TECH C® compilers.

PIC10F(LF)32x are available in a range of 6- to 20-pin SOT–23, PDIP, MSOP, TSSOP, DFN and QFN packages.
