October - December 2005 Update 2005 Product Selector GuideProduct Pro le 8-bit PICmicro Microcontrollers Microchips PICmicro family of microcontrollers combine high performance, low cost and small package size to offer the best price/ performance ratio in the industry. Based on a powerful RISC core, these 8-bit PIC microcontrollers fall into three product architecture categories, providing a variety of options for any application requirement: Baseline 8-bit architecture: 12-bit instruction set, 6-44 pin count, 384-3.5K bytes program memory, up to 5 MIPS Mid-Range 8-bit architecture: 14-bit instruction set, 8-68 pin count, 896-14K bytes program memory, up to 5 MIPS High Performance (PIC18) 8-bit architecture: 16-bit instruction set, 18-100 pin count, 8K-128K bytes program memory, up to 16 MIPS The common architecture provides users with an easy migration path from 6 to 100 pins among all families with little or no code change required. Advanced features available are: Sophisticated timing peripherals Embedded analog peripherals including A/D and D/A converters, comparators, PBOR, PLVD, DAC, VREF, Op Amps and PSMC Communications peripherals (I2C/SPI/USB/CAN and USARTs) Low-power, single-chip RF solutions targeting RF connectivity for high-volume embedded control applications Battery management solutions Flexible programming options including In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) technology, self-programming (Enhanced Flash), One-Time-Programmable (OTP), QTP, SQTP and ROM 16-bit PICmicro Microcontrollers The PIC24 microcontrollers build upon the high performance, wide selection of peripherals, Flash memory sizes and packaging choices found in the 8-bit PIC18 family. The PIC24 architecture, paired with the optimized MPLAB C30 C Compiler, provides the high throughput and C code density needed to achieve system performance goals and product launch schedules. Leadership 16-bit microcontroller performance and C code ef ciency Extension of the 8-bit PIC18 microcontroller performance, memory and peripherals Easy migration path to dsPIC digital signal controllers with over 40 MIPS and DSP capability, MPLAB compatibility 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers Microchips 16-bit High Performance Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) combine the best features of microcontrollers with the best features of DSPs in a single core. These dsPIC DSC devices reach speeds of up to 30 MIPS. C compiler ef ciency programming, Flash, data EEPROM, and powerful peripherals Extensive software libraries for effortless design Familiar microcontroller architecture and design environment Stand-Alone Analog & Interface Products Microchip offers a broad portfolio of analog and related products: Linear and Mixed-Signal. ADCs/DACs, digital potentiometers, op amps and comparators. Power Management. LDO and switching regulators, charge pumps, voltage references, CPU/system supervisors and volt age detectors, battery chargers and power MOSFET drivers. Thermal Management. Temperature sensors (logic output, voltage output, and serial output), brushless DC fan controllers, and fan fault detectors. Interface. Peripheral products supporting industry-standard networking protocols like CAN, LIN and infrared (including IrDA Standard infrared), as well as products that provide embedded system input/output expansion capability. Secure Data Products Microchips KEELOQ code hopping algorithm combines high security, a small package outline and a very low cost to make this an ideal solution for unidirectional RKE systems. The KEELOQ code hopping technology creates a high degree of security using a long code word length together with encryption and synchronization techniques. Memory Products Microchip offers one of the broadest selections of serial EEPROMs in densities from 128 bits to 512 Kbits, with operating voltages 2 down to 1.8V, in all popular bus protocols (I C, Microwire and SPI compatible). They are available in all standard temperature ranges from -40C to +125C and packaged in the worlds smallest standard packaging up to 16 Kbits in 5-lead SOT-23 and up to 256 Kbits in 8-lead MSOP.
