Microchip Technology has introduced the PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 MCU families, featuring multiple Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) designed to help simplify development and enable quick response time to system events.
Suitable for applications that use closed-loop control, the PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 MCUs are the CIPs that independently manage tasks required from the CPU. Both families have features for functional safety and operate up to 5V, increasing noise immunity and providing compatibility with the majority of analog output and digital sensors.
Offered in a 3 x 3 mm 20-pin QFN package,the ATtiny1607 family is optimized for closed-loop control systems such as handheld power tools and remote controls. In addition to the integrated Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that provides conversion of analog signals resulting in deterministic system response. Among CIPs in the PIC18 Q10 family are theComplementary Waveform Generator (CWG) peripheral, and an integrated Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADC2) that performs advanced calculations and filtering of data in hardware without any intervention from the core. CIPs such as these allow the CPU to execute more complex tasks, such as Human Machine Interface (HMI) controls, and remain in a low-power mode to conserve power until processing is required.
All PIC18 Q10 products are supported by MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), a software plug-in that provides a graphical interface to configure peripherals and functions. MCC is incorporated into Microchip’s downloadable MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE, eliminating the need to download software. The Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) development board (DM164136), a prototyping board, can also be used to start development with these MCUs.
Prototyping with the ATtiny1607 family is supported by ATmega4809 Xplained Pro (ATmega4809-XPRO) evaluation kit. The USB-powered kit features touch buttons, LEDs and extension headers for quick setup as well as an on-board programmer/debugger that integrates with the Atmel Studio 7 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Atmel START.
