Mouser fulfils 8-bit MCU demands for sensor designs
Microchip’s PIC16F18015 / 25 / 44 / 45 and the PIC16F18126 / 46 families of microcontrollers from Microchip Technology are designed for developers requiring an 8-bit microcontroller for a sensor design. Distributor Mouser Electronics now offers these two families to support sensor signal conditioning and real-time control functionality for cost-sensitive projects.
Sensor and control applications can be met with the PIC16F18015 / 25 / 44 / 45 microcontrollers provide a balance of flash memory (ranging from seven to 14kbytes), robust control and peripheral capabilities, and speeds up to 32MHz.
All devices in this family include up to 256bytes of EEPROM, a 10-bit ADC with computation (ADCC), automated capacitive voltage divider (CVD) techniques for advanced capacitive touch sensing, an 8-bit DAC module, three pulse width modulators (PWMs) with two additional capture / compare PWMs, and a complementary waveform generator (CWG). There are also four configurable logic cells for further control functionality and an array of communication peripherals.
The PIC16F18126 / 46 microcontrollers are similar in memory and operating speed but are equipped with features geared more toward higher-end sensor applications which require additional digital functionality, higher resolution and precision timing. MCUs in this family include 28kbytes of program flash memory, a 12-bit differential ADCC, two 8-bit DACs, a 16-bit PWM peripheral and a CWG. This family of devices also provides four configurable logic cells for further control functionality and a choice of communication peripherals.
