In continuation of the development of microcontrollers for a real-time control system, Microchip unveils a new set of microcontroller family based around the known Atmel ATtiny family called the ATtiny1607 family. Microchip is hoping to continue support for the Atmel’s famous AVR set of microcontrollers. Microchip recently launched the PIC18 Q10 family of MCUs earlier […]

PIC18 Q10 Product Family – PIC® MCUs for Closed-loop Control


https://www.electronics-lab.com/pic18-q10-product-family-pic-mcus-closed-loop-control/

Real-time control systems usually are closed-loop control systems where one has a tight time window to gather data, process that data, and update the system. If the time window is missed, then the stability of the system is degraded. This reduced control can be catastrophic to some applications, such as power conversion and advanced motor […]

PAC1934 – Microchip’s New Power-Monitoring IC Measures Power With 99% Accuracy


https://www.electronics-lab.com/pac1934-microchips-new-power-monitoring-ic-measures-software-power-99-accuracy/

Microchip recently developed a precision power-and-energy-monitoring chip – PAC1934. The PAC1934 is a four channel power/energy monitor with current sensor amplifier and bus voltage monitors that feed high-resolution ADC. It works in conjunction with a Microchip software driver that is fully compatible with the Energy Estimation Engine (E3) built into the Windows 10 operating system. The whole […]

SST26WF064C – Low-voltage 64-Megabit SuperFlash® Memory Device From Microchip


https://www.electronics-lab.com/sst26wf064c-low-voltage-64-megabit-superflash-memory-device-microchip/

Microchip introduced a new 64Mbit Serial Quad I/O™ memory device—SST26WF064C with proprietary SuperFlash® technology. The SST26WF064C writes with a single power supply of 1.65-1.95V and significantly lower power consumption. This makes it ideal for wireless, mobile, and battery-powered applications. This 64Mbit memory device also features DTR or Dual Transfer Rate technology. DTR lets the user access data of the chip […]
