Microchip announces a new family of microcontrollers (MCUs), the PIC24FJ128GC010.
This family is an analog system on a chip that integrates a full analog signal chain, including Microchip’s first ever on-chip precision 16-bit ADC and 10 Msps 12-bit ADC, plus a DAC and dual operational amplifiers (Op Amps), along with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology for extended battery life in portable medical and industrial applications.
This combination of analog integration and low power consumption reduces system cost and noise, and improves the signal throughput in applications which include portable medical monitoring devices such as blood glucose meters and blood pressure monitors; as well as industrial applications and portable monitoring devices, such as voltage and current monitors, gas sensors and high-speed sensor arrays, among others. The PIC24FJ128GC010 family includes an integrated LCD display driver that provides the ability to drive up to 472 segments with information-rich user displays that include scrolling alphanumeric banners. Integrated USB supports the uploading of clinical data for medical equipment and can act as a service/data port for industrial equipment. Capacitive touch sensing is supported with an on-chip mTouch™ peripheral.
