Low sleep current 16-bit PIC24F
MCUs with USB and touch sensing features
Microchip has introduced the PIC24FJ64GA104 and PIC24FJ64GB004,
a two new members of 16-bit PIC24F microcontrollers (MCUs)
for Peripheral, Embedded Host and On-the-Go (OTG) implementations.
Microchip claims its nanoWatt XLP technology provides the
low sleep currents, with current consumption down to 20
nA in Deep Sleep mode, resulting in the low power consumption
of any MCU with USB OTG 10 times lower than USB MCUs from
other ultra-low-power manufacturers.
The PIC24FJ64GA104 general-purpose family features nanoWatt
XLP technology, 16 MIPS performance, 32 or 64 Kbytes of
Flash, 8 Kbytes of RAM, a capacitive touch sensing peripheral,
Real Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC), a 10-bit A/D, and the
ability to reconfigure digital I/O pins via Peripheral Pin
Select. The PIC24FJ64GB004 family builds on these features
with complete Full-Speed USB 2.0 Peripheral, Embedded Host
and OTG solution
The suggested applications for the new PIC24FJ64GA104 and
PIC24FJ64GB004 MCUs include Battery-powered (remote controls,
security systems, portable meters, irrigation timers), Consumer
(thermostats, smoke detectors, business card scanners/printers),
Industrial (utility metering, electronic locks, POS terminals),
Automotive (remote keyless entry, audio and infotainment),
and Medical (glucometers, blood pressure monitors, fitness
monitors).
"Microchip's latest USB PIC microcontrollers enable
the smallest footprint and lowest power consumption for
applications such as thumb-drive interfaces, capacitive
touch panels and many battery-powered applications,"
said Mitch Obolsky, vice president of Microchip's Advanced
Microcontroller Architecture Division. "Microchip provides
industry-leading USB software support, configuration tools,
customer training and USB development boards to help designers
get to market quickly."
Package: Both families are available in 28-pin QFN, SOIC
and PDIP package, and 44-pin QFN and TQFP package.
