Microchip Technology Inc. has announced a new addition to its PIC12/16F15XX 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) family. The low-cost, low-pin count PIC12LF1552 is Microchip's smallest (2x3 mm UDFN package) and lowest-cost PIC MCU with hardware I2C support, and includes a four-channel 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with hardware Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) support for capacitive touch sensing.
Additionally, this new MCU features 3.5 KB Flash program memory, 256 Bytes RAM, a 32 MHz internal oscillator, low-voltage operation from 1.8V to 3.6V, and low-power consumption for active and sleep currents of 50 µA/MHz and 20 nA, respectively. The hardware CVD enables a more efficient implementation of capacitive sensing for touch applications.
"The low-cost PIC12LF1552 extends Microchip's PIC12/PIC16F15XX family by providing I2C in our most compact 8-pin package, to address a wide variety of space-constrained and cost-sensitive applications," said Steve Drehobl, Vice-President of Microchip's MCU8 Division.
The PIC12LF1552 MCU is available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, MSOP and 2x3x0.5 mm UDFN packages.
