The new 8-bit PIC MCU is designed to accelerate with CIP

Microchip Technology introduces the PIC16F15386 family of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs). In addition to Microchip’s existing core independent perimeter (CIP), the series also includes a 32MHz high-precision internal oscillator and a variety of memory functions, such as a friendly boot loader write function memory access partition ( MAP) to avoid accidental overwrite.

The Component Information Area (DIA) provides protected storage space to store unique identification information and calibration values ​​unique to the component. The PIC16F15386 family provides a simple and easy-to-use MPLAB Xpress development platform and supports the MPLAB Program Generator (MCC) to provide users with the most complete development experience. This series of components for general purpose and low power applications, the use of a wide range. lqh6ppn101m43l

The launch of the expandable series of components includes up to 28KB of flash memory and 2KB of RAM, with 8 to 48 pins and other packaging options. This is the first 8-bit PIC MCU family to offer a 48-pin package, and adds more ADC channels and I / O. The series has a high-level CIP integration, which can perform a number of system functions (signal generation, motor control, safety monitoring, system communication and man-machine interface) using the periphery outside the core at the lowest power consumption. The new MCU also includes power management features (idle and doze mode, and peripheral module disabled), allowing engineers to achieve the best balance between power and performance.

For this new product portfolio, Microchip has launched a dedicated new Xpress series development board to help customers immediately start the project development. In just two minutes, engineers can use the Xpress family of development boards and the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE to start the development of the application. Other support tools include two Curiosity development boards (DM164136 and DM164137) and software development platforms, including Microchip’s free software, including the MPLAB Code Generator (MCC) and MPLAB X IDE. MCC is a free software plug-in, which provides a graphical interface to help engineers for its application around the function and configuration. The Xpress series development board is now available free of charge. m83513/03-d03n

The PIC16F15386 family includes 13 components that offer a wide range of package options including PDIP, SOIC, DFN, UDFN, UQFN and SSOP. All products have begun to provide samples and put into mass production.

TSMC will test production in 2019 5nm process

In the recently held annual supply chain management forum, TSMC joint CEO Liu Deyin (Mark Liu) also disclosed that TSMC will be in the second half of 2019 planned production of 5nm process.

TSMC has just begun mass production of 10nm, but the first quarter of 2017 will try to produce a new 7nm, 2018 into mass production, and then into the 5nm, can be said to be a ring, did not stop. 08055c104kat2a

Liu Deyin also revealed that TSMC will be in the 7nm process to improve the version of the first use of EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography, 5nm will be fully applied. This is the first to determine the launch of the EUV fab – Intel 7nm will not still do not know.

Liu said that TSMC 10nm process mainly for mobile devices, will be the end of the quarter batch delivery OEM chip, the second half of the rapid expansion of production capacity. m27500-24sr2s23

MediaTek Helio X30, Huawei Kylin 970, Apple A11 will use TSMC 10nm process, Xiao Long 835, Exynos 8895 is Samsung 10nm.
