Products

Microchip is building on the success of its 80 MHz 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller portfolio with three new families that provide up to 128 kbytes of RAM and extensive connectivity options, including 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, two CAN2.0b controllers, USB Host, Device and OTG, and 6 UART, 5 I2C™ and 4 SPI ports. These new MCU families are complemented by Microchip’s free software stacks, available in source-code form, making it easier for embedded designers to add connectivity to their applications.

The demand for embedded connectivity continues to grow, forcing existing products to run more software stacks simultaneously. The new PIC32MX5/6/7 families are designed specifically for these data-intensive applications. Designers have full access to up to 128 kb of RAM for simultaneous use with the Ethernet, USB and CAN buffers. The integrated Ethernet, CAN and USB modules have a built-in DMA interface to maximize data throughput.

Migrating software across Microchip’s 600-plus 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontroller portfolio is easy, as its development tools, USB stacks and TCP/IP stacks span the entire range of PIC MCUs. Additionally, the new PIC32MX5/6/7 families are pin compatible with the existing PIC32 and 16-bit PIC24F USB MCU families.
