Microchip Technology Announces a new four-member family (PIC18F66J93, PIC18F67J93, PIC18F86J93 and PIC18F87J93) of high-performance 8-bit PIC(R) microcontrollers (MCUs) for medical and metering applications. The PIC18F87J93 8-bit direct LCD-drive MCUs feature up to 16 channels of 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC), the mTouch Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) peripheral for capacitive touch sensing, and a hardware Real-Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC). With this enhanced analog functionality and rich peripheral set, the PIC18F87J93 family enables the highly precise measurements and sensors, as well as the high levels of integration that medical and metering applications require...

Microchip Technology announced a new family of 8-bit PIC(R) 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. The PIC18F1XK22 MCUs are appropriate for a wide variety of general-purpose applications. Microchip offers engineers a complete suite of standard development tools to design with the PIC18F1XK22 microcontrollers. It starts with the unified, feature-rich, user-friendly and free MPLAB(R) IDE, along with a selection of MPLAB C and HI-TECH C(R) compilers...

G2 offers three ways to quickly and affordably embed ultra low-power Epsilon Wi-Fi technology into battery-powered CE devices, G2C543 low-power Wi-Fi SoC, G2M5437 module and Icon development kit that will make it easy for designers to connect consumer electronic devices directly to the Internet or to future Wi-Fi Personal Area Network systems. Wi-Fi has become ubiquitous in the home, allowing a new category of devices to connect directly to the Internet or to a laptop through the emerging Wi-Fi PANs. Overcoming the range limitations of Bluetooth and the gateway requirements of other technologies such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi can now be considered for applications such as home energy management and health monitoring, and for laptop PAN peripherals such as mice, wireless speakers and high-fidelity headphones...
