Is Microchip PIC Chips truely the lowest power MCU ? [Must See Article]

Dear All,

 

guess all of you have hear that Micrchip PIC nano XLP watt is the lowest power MCU. Well, perhaps you might like to take a look at this article. Please feel free to comments on this.

 

Cheers

Edmund

    Charles, we are giving some XLP kits away in the RoadTest group here http://www.element-14.com/community/groups/roadtest if you want to try your luck there.

    Dear Charles,

     

    I thought this article benefits all of the engineers out there. It really give us an insight view of Microchip XLP nanowatt technology. But of cos, seeing is believing..so perhaps you might like to try it on the TI and Microchip chips and do remember to update me any "Surprise" results.

     

    Hope to hear from you again. Do stay tuned of my upcoming interesting and exciting articles.

     

    Cheers

    Edmund

    That was a pretty interesting read. I have some MSP430 development tools, maybe I'll look into getting one of those XLP boards and see what a real world application does. I'm guessing it''s like all things; just depends how you use it...

    As you can see from TI's chart the XLP chip is better in sleep and deep sleep mode, and this is the area that I reckon Microchip are targetting with these devices. New applications like remore monitoring which require an MCU to wake up once a day/week/month, take a reading and transmit back to base need MCUs that require almost no sleep power to elongate the lifetime of the battery.
