Microchip Technology today expanded its 8-bit USB microcontroller (MCU) line with the PIC18F47J53PIC18F47J53. Featuring the company’s XLP (eXtreme Low Power) technology the new MCU provides up to 128 KB Flash program memory, 4 KB RAM, USB 2.0 and integrated mTouch capacitive sensing capability.
Many portable applications, such as smart-card readers, need to occasionally connect to a PC or another portable device via USB. The full-speed USB 2.0 capability of the PIC18F47J53 MCU enables this, and Microchip offers a free smart card library within its free USB stack. An on-chip 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) delivers the accuracy required for sensor, instrumentation and measurement applications. With multiple PWMs, timers and SPI channels with DMA, the PIC18F47J53 MCU is well suited for portable consumer devices, medical devices, and other applications requiring low power consumption and USB connectivity
