Microcontrollers anchor most of today's embedded designs

     Microchip Technologies has released five new product lines and more than 60 new standalone devices that offer simple solutions to the most common problems embedded designers face.

     Designers seeking to develop innovative designs are putting the company's new products of picture and AVR microcontroller due to its processing power, easy to communicate with other analog peripherals chips and ability to construct very configurable with PCB without needing to make changes. These devices combine ASIC-like capabilities with simple development experience to extend the capabilities of traditional MCUS, enabling them to be configured as intelligent peripheral chips. For example, software-controlled operational amplifiers, intelligent peripherals in the PIC16F171 family, MVIO and ADCC add value to applications that do not use traditional single-chip computers.

       The MVIO peripherals on the latest 8-bit MCUs, including the AVR DD family, enable a single port on the MCU to operate in different voltage domains, which eliminates the need for additional external components. The challenge of crossing multiple voltage domains is a common situation in systems with chips that use different supply voltages (eg, connecting a 5V MCU to a 1.8V sensor). This type of system typically requires level-shifting hardware, which adds to the cost.

        CIP) can be used in the PIC and AVR product range, can be programmed with the MCC, and can be connected to form a hardware processing chain at any time. This is challenging for software-based processing because some systems require a certain level of speed and response time. This makes it possible to produce custom peripherals that eliminate software processing cycles.

       Greg Robinson, vice president of marketing for Microchip's MCU8 business unit said:"PIC and AVR microcontrollers are very popular because they are designed to meet the requirements of our customers' current and future applications,"  “We have also established a strong supply chain for 8-bit PIC and AVR microcontrollers, the vast majority of which are produced in factories owned by Microchip. This allows us to control the production process in a way that is not common in the industry.”

      The company offers a complete development ecosystem of hardware and software tools, combined with its MPLAB X and MPLAB Xpress IDE and MCC, to provide an intuitive graphical interface to generate production-ready setup and application code for projects based on 8-bit MCU.
