Microchip has released four new high pin-count, high-density members of the PIC18F family, offering 96 and 128 Kbytes of self-reprogrammable, high-endurance Flash memory with up to 10 MIPS performance over a wide operating voltage range of 2,0 to 5,5 V. These features, combined with nanoWatt Technology power management and a rich set of analog and digital peripherals, says Microchip, allow the series to compete with 16-bit devices in high-end embedded applications while retaining ease of use and helping designers to preserve their 8-bit development tool and software investments.
Engineers have a growing need for more powerful microcontrollers with larger program memory, due to the transition of code development methodologies from Assembly to C language, and they would rather not discard their 8-bit code and development tools. The PIC18F8722 8-bit microcontroller series addresses this by providing linear access (no pages) to a memory space as large as 2 Mbytes, while offering complete code and tool compatibility with smaller Microchip microcontrollers. In addition, the microcontrollers include two synchronous serial ports (capable of SPI or I2C) and two asynchronous serial ports (LIN-capable USARTs) for expanded connectivity.
A demonstration board will be available soon. The new PIC18F8722 microcontrollers are also supported by Microchip's development systems.
