Microchip's latest 32-bit microcontroller products

Microchip Expands Low-Cost, Small Package 32-Bit PIC32 Microcontroller Family

Microchip Technology Inc. announced at the Embedded World Congress in Germany to introduce a new family of low pin count 32-bit PIC32 microcontrollers (MCUs) that deliver 61 DMIPS performance in packages as small as 5mm x 5mm, suitable for space Limited and cost sensitive design. The PIC32 “MX1” and “MX2” MCUs are the smallest and lowest cost PIC32 microcontrollers and the first PIC32 MCUs with dedicated audio and capacitive sensing peripherals. The latest devices are also equipped with USB On-the-Go (OTG) functionality, making them ideal for developing audio accessories and other applications in the consumer, industrial, medical and automotive markets.

The PIC32 MX1 and MX2 MCUs are rated for operation up to 105°C with up to 128 KB of flash and 32 KB of RAM, two I2S audio processing interfaces, an integrated hardware peripheral that adds mTouchTM capacitive touch buttons or advanced sensors, and a 8-bit parallel master port (PMP) for graphical display or connection to external memory. In addition, the new device features a 13-channel, 1 Msps on-chip 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and serial communication peripherals; the PIC32 MX2 MCU also adds USB OTG functionality. These MCUs are available in 28- to 44-lead packages and are available in sizes as small as 5mm x 5mm with 0.5mm pitch. Microchip's peripheral pin select feature further simplifies design work, allowing developers to "remap" most of the digital function pins in the chip, making it easier to modify layout and design. PIC32 MX1 and MX2 devices are compatible with Microchip's 16-bit PIC24F product line for easy migration and support for the unified development environment MPLAB® X IDE for all of Microchip's 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs.

Sumit Mitra, vice president of Microchip's high-performance microcontrollers, said: "The expansion of our PIC32 MX1 and MX2 families brings more choices to our customers for seamless migration of their ever-changing designs. With 128K flash, 32K RAM, any 32 With the highest DMIPS performance per MHz of the MCU and the small package as low as 28 pins, the PIC32 MX1 and MX2 MCUs enable designers to differentiate their products in the market while maintaining the small size and low cost of the design."

What is a Rigid Flex PCB?

Rigid flex printed circuit boards are boards using a combination of flexible and rigid board technologies in an application. Most rigid flex boards consist of multiple layers of flexible circuit substrates attached to one or more rigid boards externally and/or internally, depending upon the design of the application. The flexible substrates are designed to be in a constant state of flex and are usually formed into the flexed curve during manufacturing or installation.

Rigid flex designs are more challenging than the design of a typical rigid board environment, as these boards are designed in a 3D space, which also offers greater spatial efficiency. By being able to design in three dimensions rigid flex designers can twist, fold and roll the flexible board substrates to achieve their desired shape for the final application's package.

Benefits:
More components in a smaller space
Improved signal quality and integrity
Easy to test
Very reliable in harsh environment
Reduces system costs
Weight reduction

Our expertise – your profit!

The circuit board is no longer thought of as simply something to hold other elements. In fact, it is part of the system and offers a diverse range of options to integrate different functions. We want to support our customers as early on in the development process as possible so that they can get the most out of our wide-ranging expertise. In this way we can succeed in finding the perfect solution for the specific situation whilst keeping an overview of the entire system.
