DSP, Micros & Memory

9 November 2016 DSP, Micros & Memory

Microchip announced the new PIC24 ‘GA7’ family of microcontrollers (MCU) which is available now. As the lowest-cost 256 KB Flash memory 16-bit MCUs available today, these devices enable extremely cost-effective designs for Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes, portable medical devices and industrial control applications.

The devices offer low-power modes including multiple sleep modes, down to 190 nA, to greatly decrease power consumption for extended battery life in portable applications at a fraction of the cost of previous solutions. The new devices also offer up to 256 KB Flash and 16 KB RAM and are available in 28, 44 and 48 pin count package options, some as small as 4 x 4 mm.

Products in the family support Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) such as configurable logic cell (CLC), multi-output capture compare pulse width modulation module (MCCP) and direct memory access (DMA), which allow developers to accomplish tasks in hardware while freeing the CPU to do other tasks or to sleep. The new microcontrollers also feature a robust peripheral set including 12-bit, 200 KSps analog-to-digital converter (ADC), up to seven timers and two UARTs.
