More engineers are taking advantage of USB as a standardized interface, in combination with other serial-interface protocols. The PIC18F1XK50 Microcontrollers include I2CTM, SPI and USART interfaces, ...

The PIC18F87J90 offer 64- to 128kbyte of Flash and 4kbyte of RAM, extending the memory reach and peripheral set of Microchip’s LCD MCU portfolio. Furthermore, they are pin-compatible with Microchip’s ...

A few years ago, Microchip acquired Atmel for $3.56 Billion. There are plenty of manufacturers of 8-bit microcontrollers, but everyone makes 8051s, and the MSP430 isn’t as popular as it should be.

Some see the development world as being enamored by 32-bit architectures but 8- and 16-bit platforms have been around a long time and they are not going away. Microchip Technology is one of the ...

Microchip has unveiled a new dev board called the Curiosity Development Board. I had my first look at this at Bay Area Maker Faire back in May but was asked not to publicize the hardware since it wasn ...

Three common applications where a new class of 8-bit MCUs with advanced analog filtering capabilities support modern systems. As embedded designs have evolved, the 8-bit MCU has evolved from simple ...
