The latest 80 MHz PIC32 microcontroller family helps embedded designers to lower their costs without sacrificing performance or functionality. The raw performance of the MIPS32® M4K® core has been maximised to achieve best-in-class performance of 1.56 DMIPS/MHz, with integrated Ethernet, CAN, USB and multiple serial communication channels, in addition to more cost-effective memory options. The family provides 32 Kbytes of RAM and up to 140 Kbytes of Flash. Each of the six new microcontrollers is available in five different pin-compatible packages: 100-pin TQFP 12x12mm, TQFP 14x14mm and BGA packages, as well as 64-pin TQFP and QFN packages.
Example applications for the new PIC32MX5/6/7 family include Communications: point-of-sale terminals, Web servers and multi-protocol bridges. Industrial: automation controllers. Medical devices and Security: monitoring equipment. Consumer: audio, MP3 decoders, displays, fitness equipment and small appliances. Automotive: aftermarket products, car alarms and GPS.
