Do you need more on-chip memory? Are you concerned with tight schedules and cost goals? How do you decide which embedded control solution will bring the most value to your overall embedded design? Microchips 16-bit solutions are designed to be a broad platform which can serve your needs for many years. If you have designed using our 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) you will be pleased to see that the same MPLAB Integrated Development Environment used on our smallest 6-pin MCU also supports our most powerful 16-bit controllers. Plus our commitment for peripheral and pinout compatibility has been carried forward to our 16-bit product families. If you are new to Microchips control solutions, we offer powerful, low cost development tools, a compatible lineup of products that range from low cost to high performance, and a Company dedicated to serving your needs. Since 2002, Microchip has been #1 in worldwide 8-bit microcontroller shipments* with a product portfolio that continues to expand to meet the demands of our customers while solving many of their key business issues. With more than 70 16-bit products in our portfolio today and many more on the way, we are committed to offer similar value in the 16-bit realm. *Gartner Dataquest, Top Companies Revenue from Shipments of 8-bit MCU - All Applications April 2005. One Architecture, Four Families Whether your solution requires the lowest cost 16-bit Microchip offers two 16-bit Microcontroller (MCU) families solution, the most powerful 16-bit MCU in the industry, or plus two 16-bit Digital Signal Controller (DSC) families that DSP capability, Microchip offers a broad range of products give you compatible options across a wide spectrum of while preserving the compatibility that helps save you time price, performance and feature sets.
