Authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is shipping the new PIC32CM PL10 low-power Arm Cortex-M0+ based microcontrollers (MCUs) from Microchip Technologies.
These MCUs offer a balanced combination of performance, power efficiency, and peripherals for industrial, smart building, consumer, and sensor-based applications.
They are an attractive choice when transitioning from an 8-bit MCU to a 32-bit MCU. The PIC32CM PL10 family is pin-compatible with the AVR Dx families of 8-bit MCUs, so users can easily migrate from AVR MCU-based hardware designs.
These MCUs all feature familiar peripherals found on 8-bit MCUs, including multi-voltage I/O (MVIO), configurable custom logic (CCL), and event systems (EVSYS), reducing the BOM and PCB footprint for compact and cost-efficient designs.
Additionally, the combination of 5V operation and integrated analogue peripherals, such as the peripheral touch controller (PTC), analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), and analogue comparators, makes these Microchip PIC32CM PL10 MCUs more robust and more immune to noise.
Mouser also stocks the Microchip EV10P22A Curiosity nano evaluation kit, which offers a demonstration and development platform for evaluating the PIC32CM PL10 MCU.
The evaluation kit’s integrated programmer/debugger eliminates the need for external tools, and Microchip’s free-to-use MPLAB Tools for VS Code and MPLAB Harmony provide an easy GUI-based interface to configure the device and all on-board peripherals.
