Low-Cost PIC32 MCUs

Microchip Technology presents a series of low pin-count, 32-bit PIC32 microcontrollers that provides 83 DMIPS of performance at only 50 MHz with the right mix of peripherals for cost-sensitive general purpose sensing, USB, and audio designs. With up to 128 KB of Flash and 32 KB of RAM, serial interfaces, USB, 1 Msps ADC, analog comparator, and an 8-bit parallel master port (useful for LCD interface), the PIC32MX1 / MX2 is the perfect MCU for a broad range of applications.

Rated for operation up to 105°C, the PIC32MX1 / MX2 MCUs include an integrated hardware peripheral for adding mTouch™ capacitive touch buttons or advanced sensors. The integrated ADC provides up to 1 Msps sample rate with 10-bit resolution and up to 13-channels. Serial communication is enabled via multiple I²C, SPI, and UART interfaces. Digital audio is supported via USB audio class support and two I²S CODEC interfaces. Further easing the design effort is Microchip’s peripheral pin select feature, which allows developers to “remap” most of the chip’s digital-function pins, making peripheral utilization, board layout, and design modifications significantly easier. The PIC32MX1 / MX2 series of MCUs range from 28-pins to 44-pins, with sizes down to 5 mm x 5 mm, and a 0.5 mm pitch.
