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.
