The Microchip Technology PIC32CM PL10 family provides a straightforward path for engineers moving designs from 8-bit architectures to 32-bit Arm Cortex M0+ devices.
These MCUs, which are in stock at authorised distributor DigiKey, maintain full 5V operating capability, making them suitable for electrically noisy environments such as industrial control, appliance interfaces, and automotive interior electronics.
Familiar peripherals such as MVIO, CCL, EVSYS, and the peripheral touch controller mirror what technicians expect from AVR Dx devices while delivering the extended capability of a 32-bit platform.
Designed for robustness and ease of integration, the PIC32CM PL10 incorporates essential analogue functions such as a 12-bit differential ADC, analogue comparators, and configurable timers. Touch performance is enhanced with up to 29 PTC channels, while MVIO enables direct interfacing to sensors ranging from 1.8 to 5V without level-shifting hardware.
These features support reliable human-machine interfaces, sensor-driven control systems, and embedded industrial modules requiring low power consumption and long-term durability.
The devices come with up to 128KB Flash and 16KB SRAM with pin counts including 20 pins, 28 pins, 32 pins, and 64 pins, and multi-voltage I/O for direct 1.8 to 5V sensor interfacing without external shifters.
Applications cover capacitive touch interfaces, industrial and appliance controls in noisy environments, battery-powered embedded systems, and companion MCU for larger MCUs or MPUs.
