Microchip Technology Unveils Fast 8-Bit MCU with 32 Kbytes Flash in 28 and 40 Pins for Best Combination of Cost, Performance and Peripherals.CHANDLER, Ariz. -- New PIC18F45J10 Microcontroller Family Offers 40 MHz at 3V Operation and Rich Peripheral Set with a 30% Cost Reduction over 5V Microcontrollers Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : MCHP MCHP Maryland Children's Health Program MCHP Microchip Technologies (stock symbol) MCHP Micro-sized Combined Heat and Power (American Honda Motor Co. & Climate Energy, LLC) MCHP Maine Community Heritage Project ), a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced the new PIC18F45J10 family, which are some of the fastest 8-bit microcontrollers in the world to provide 32 Kbytes of Flash program memory in 28-pin packages. This family offers 40 MHz performance at 3V, and analog-to-digital (ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. ), comparator, USART See UART. , SPI, I2C(TM) and PWM peripherals at a 30 percent cost reduction over 5V microcontrollers. These features make the PIC18F45J10 family ideal for a broad range of cost-sensitive applications in markets such as consumer electronics, appliances, medical and industrial. Designers of cost-sensitive consumer applications, ranging from appliances to consumer electronics, are demanding higher performance and reduced costs from their 8-bit microcontrollers. The four PIC18F45J10/44J10/25J10/24J10 devices provide a significant reduction in both cost (30 percent lower) and operating voltage (3V) while maintaining 40 MHz performance levels -- something 5V microcontrollers just can't do. In addition, Microchip offers the free MPLAB(R) IDE Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment , which provides low-risk development and shortened design cycles by enabling a seamless migration path to a wide range of code-compatible PIC(R) microcontrollers. "With this new family of 8-bit microcontrollers, Microchip has completed the migration path of our 3V portfolio from 28 to 80 pins and from 16 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of Flash," said Mitch Obolsky, vice president of Microchip's Advanced Microcontroller Architecture Division. "Customers can now enjoy the benefits of 3V operation at twice the speed and a substantially reduced price over 5V microcontrollers." The PIC18F45J10 family is general purpose by design, and can be used in an extremely wide range of markets and applications. Some examples include consumer (consumer electronics) and industrial (instrumentation). Additional key features of the PIC18F45J10 family include: --16 or 32 Kbytes of Flash and 1 Kbyte of RAM --10-bit ADC with 10 or 13 channels --One Enhanced Capture Compare PWM (ECCP ECCP European Centre for Conflict Prevention ECCP European Climate Change Programme ECCP European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines ECCP Engineering Concepts Curriculum Project ECCP Equity Central Counterparty ECCP Eccentric Creatures Club Page ) and up to two standard CCPs --Up to two SPI and two Master I2C serial communication ports --One enhanced USART and two comparators --One 8-bit and two 16-bit timers Development Tools In addition to maintaining compatibility with Microchip's universal MPLAB IDE, the PIC18F45J10 microcontrollers are supported by the MPLAB C18 C compiler, MPLAB ICD ICD International Classification of Diseases (of the World Health Organization); intrauterine contraceptive device. ICD abbr. 2 for debugging and emulation, and the PICDEM(TM) 2 Plus development board (part No. DM163022). The PICDEM HPC Explorer Board (part No. DM183022) was created specifically for evaluation and development with Microchip's high-end PIC18F 8-bit microcontroller family. Availability All four members of the PIC18F45J10 family are available now for general sampling and volume production. The starting price range in 10K quantities is $1.49 each for the PIC18F24J10 to $1.89 each for PIC18F45J10. The PIC18F24J10 and PIC18F25J10 are offered in 28-pin QFN, SPDIP SPDIP Shrink Plastic Dual-In-Line Package SPDIP Shrink Plastic Dual Inline Package , SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. and SSOP SSOP Shrink Small Outline Package SSOP Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (USDA) SSOP Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures SSOP Sharescan-Open Platform (Ecopy) SSOP Site Security Operational Procedures packages. The PIC18F44J10 and PIC18F45J10 are available in 40-pin PDIP (Plastic DIP) See DIP. , and 44-pin QFN and TQFP packages.
