Microchip Technology Expands Cost-Effective PIC24F Microcontroller Family With World’s Lowest Power Large-Memory 16-bit MCUs
 |
PIC24FJ256GA1 is Only 16-bit MCU Family With Integrated Capacitive-Touch Peripheral; Eliminates Need for External Cap-Touch Components CHANDLER, Ariz., March 31, 2008 [NASDAQ: MCHP] — Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced nine new members of the cost-effective PIC24F 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) family, which are the lowest power (2.6 µA standby current) large-memory (up to 256 KB Flash and 16 KB RAM) 16-bit microcontrollers in the world. Additionally, this is the world’s first 16-bit MCU family with an integrated Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) peripheral, which—along with the royalty-free mTouch™ Sensing Solution software development kit—enables designers to easily add a capacitive-touch user interface without any external components. |
