Microchip Quadruples PIC16 & PIC18 Flash Microcontroller Portfolio

22-May-2000 

Chandler, Ariz., May 22, 2000 (Microcontroller.com) - Microchip today announced an aggressive plan to increase the size of its Flash microcontroller portfolio 4x by introducing 42 new flash microcontrollers over the years 2000 - 2001. Microchip has given Microcontroller.com an advanced listing of all of the new microcontrollers (see tables below).

"Design engineers have embraced the PICmicro™ architecture over the years because Microchip supports all three microcontroller memory technologies-Flash, OTP and ROM-through consistent deliveries, seamless code migration, and development tool support to name a few," said Steve Sanghi, president and CEO of Microchip. "Today, Microchip is enhancing its field-programmable leadership by extending a very broad range of Flash, OTP and ROM product portfolios at similar pricing, allowing engineers to choose the most appropriate memory solution for their application."

One-Time Programmable (OTP)  devices had traditionally been used for low-volume applications, as well as for use in prototyping. Microchip helped pioneer the first use of OTPs for high volume production. As the microcontroller industry moved to the use of Flash microcontrollers, Microchip helped pioneer the use of Flash microcontrollers for volume production. This latest expansion of Microchip's product line demonstrates the company's strategic commitment to Flash memory, and is also its first significant expansion of its PIC18 product line (see related story).

The 37 new microcontrollers feature 1K to 64K words of Flash program memory, up to 
4K bytes of data SRAM, and up to 256 bytes of data EEPROM. Available in 8- to 84-pin configurations, these devices provide various feature sets of 10-bit, 12-channel analog-to-digital converters; power-on reset and brownout detection; comparators; capture/compare/pulse-width modulation; phase lock loop; 8x8 hardware multiply; and USB 1.1 and CAN communications capability.
