Microchip Technology, a provider of microcontroller, analog, and Flash-IP offerings, has introduced a 8-bit microcontroller (MCU), which features 128Kb flash program memory in a 28-pin package.
The company said that its new PIC18F47J13 MCU embodies XLP technology for low power consumption and mTouch capability for implementing capacitive touch sensing user interfaces.
The PIC18F47J13 also feature an on-chip 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that provides the accuracy required for advanced sensor, instrumentation and measurement applications.
Microchip Technology said that its new microcontroller combines high memory density and low power, which enables low-power, battery-controlled applications such as security systems, remote controls, and wireless sensor networks.
Microchip advanced microcontroller architecture division vice president Mitch Obolsky said that the PIC18F47J13 MCU extends battery life, while providing generous code space and a robust peripheral set.
The new 8-bit microcontroller is also available in a 44-pin package.
