NEW DELHI, INDIA: Microchip Technology, a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, has announced the first six members of the PIC16F193X family of MCUs featuring Microchip's enhanced mid-range 8-bit core -- the PIC16F1934, PIC16LF1934, PIC16F1936, PIC16LF1936, PIC16F1937 and PIC16LF1937.
The new family extends Microchip's PIC microcontroller portfolio of over 550 compatible members, targeting a wide variety of applications in the appliance, consumer, industrial, medical and automotive markets.
The family's increased memory and core capabilities deliver enhanced support for both C and Assembly programmers, and "LF" family members feature Microchip's nanoWatt XLP Technology -- for extreme low power consumption -- enabling designs to achieve world-leading battery lifetime.
Continuing in the PIC MCU tradition of integrating extensive peripherals, the new family offers Direct LCD drive and support for mTouch capacitive touch-sensing solutions.
"We are pleased to announce the first family of microcontrollers based upon our enhanced mid-range 8-bit core," said Steve Drehobl, vice president of Microchip's Security, Microcontroller and Technology Development Division. "Building upon the worldwide customer acceptance of Microchip's existing Mid-range 8-bit products, the new devices enable new levels of functionality at lower system cost."

Microchip's new family of low-power 8-bit PIC MCUs
CHANDLER, USA: Microchip Technology Inc. has announced a new family of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring nanoWatt XLP technology, which enables extremely low sleep currents.
The high-performance, low-power PIC18F13K22, PIC18LF13K22, PIC18F14K22 and PIC18LF14K22 (PIC18F1XK22) MCUs are available in 20-pin packages and provide 1.8 to 5.5V operation, with up to 16 Kbytes Flash program memory.
The devices feature an enhanced peripheral set that includes support for mTouch capacitive touch sensing, and are well suited for a variety of general-purpose applications.
nanoWatt XLP technology allows the PIC18LF1XK22 MCUs to operate longer using less power, or with fewer battery changes, by enabling sleep current of 34 nA, typical at 1.8V; Timer1 oscillator currents of 800 nA, typical at 1.8V, 32 kHz; and Watchdog Timer currents of 300 nA, typical at 1.8V. Most low-power applications require one or more of these features, and nanoWatt XLP Technology combines all of them into one device in the “LF” versions of the PIC18F1XK22 family.
“Building upon the tremendous success of our 8-bit PIC18 and 16-bit PIC24 ‘K’ series products, Microchip is pleased to expand the family of 8-bit PIC18 ‘K’ devices that feature nanoWatt XLP technology and add 5V operation,” said Steve Drehobl, vice president of Microchip’s Security, Microcontroller and Technology Development Division.
“With their small size and comprehensive feature set, the PIC18F1XK22 devices enable designers to create smaller, lower-power and higher-performing designs, at lower costs.”
