Smart peripherals, like the software-controlled op amp found on the PIC16F171 family, the Multi-Voltage I\/O (MVIO) and Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADCC) add value to applications that otherwise would not use traditional MCUs.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge of spanning multiple voltage domains is a common situation in systems that include chips using different supply voltages (e.g., connecting a 5V MCU to a 1.8V sensor). This type of system would normally require level-shifting hardware, which increases costs. The MVIO peripheral found on Microchip\u2019s latest 8-bit MCUs, including the AVR DD family, allows a single port on the MCU to operate in a different voltage domain than the rest of the MCU, which eliminates the need for additional external components.<\/p>\n<p>Some systems require a level of speed and response time that is difficult to achieve with software-based processing. The Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) available across the Microchip PIC and AVR product range can be programmed with MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) to be easily connected to form a hardware processing chain. This makes it possible to create custom peripherals that eliminate software processing cycle times.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a WS2812 LED array, which requires unique timing to be driven correctly, can be controlled easily by configuring a super peripheral consisting of a pulse-width modulator, an SPI interface, and the configurable logic cell (CLC).<\/p>\n<p>As the market for 8-bit PIC and AVR MCU devices continues to grow, Microchip remains responsive to its customers\u2019 long-term needs by adhering to strong fundamentals in their product portfolio and support structure. PIC and AVR MCUs are easy to design with and their support network enables Microchip\u2019s customers to accelerate their time to revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The 8-bit MCU portfolio is pin-to-pin compatible, which allows an alternate PIC or AVR MCU to be selected when more performance is needed or when a customer wants to maximize product availability while minimizing redesign requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPIC and AVR microcontrollers are incredibly popular because they are designed to meet our clients\u2019 requirements for current, as well as future, applications,\u201d said Greg Robinson, VP of marketing for Microchip\u2019s 8-bit MCU business unit. \u201cWe have also built a robust supply chain for 8-bit PIC and AVR MCUs\u00ad, the vast majority of which are manufactured in Microchip-owned facilities. This allows us to control the production process in ways that are not common in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Development tools<br \/>\n<\/b>Microchip offers a full development ecosystem of hardware and software tools, including its MPLAB X and MPLAB Xpress Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), which offers an intuitive graphical interface to generate production-ready setup and application code for 8-bit MCU-based projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and 5G wireless connectivity dominating the landscape of embedded design in 2022, Microchip\u2019s 8-bit PIC and AVR microcontroller (MCU) families are gaining market share.
