Core Independent Peripherals for 8-bit PIC Microcontrollers Sell Sheet - 1

Core Independent Peripherals Summary Microchip is the leader in 8-bit microcontrollers by continually investing and expanding upon the PIC® microcontroller lineup. Emphasis is persistently focused on reducing costs while developing products with a strong mix of peripherals such as LCD drive, PWM, ADC, comparators, timers and communication. Beyond standard peripherals, Microchip is constantly bringing additional value to PIC microcontrollers by developing unique and exclusive peripherals. These unique peripherals allow embedded engineers to simplify their designs and create ever more innovative applications and products. The following Core Independent Peripherals take 8-bit MCU performance to a new level, while requiring no processor overhead. CLC (Congurable Logic Cell) The CLC provides programmable combinational and sequential logic. It also enables on-chip interconnection of peripherals and I/O, thereby reducing external components, saving code space, and adding functionality. NCO (Numerically Controlled Oscillator) A programmable precision linear frequency generator, ranging from <1 Hz to 500 KHz+. The NCO offers a step up in performance, and a simplification in design, for applications requiring precise linear frequency control, such as: Fluorescent Ballasts, Lighting Control, Radio Tuning Circuitry, Class D Audio Amplifiers, etc. HRPWM (High Resolution PWM) A Patented solution using the CLC and NCO to provide High (effective) Resolution Pulse Width Modulation at much higher switching frequencies than achievable with standard PWMs. This feature allows the use of smaller inductors and capacitors, and has the ability to induce jitter, lower cost, and improve EMC performance. COG (Complementary Output Generator)/ CWG(Complementary Waveform Generator) The CWG provides a complementary waveform with rising and falling edge dead band control, enabling high efficiency synchronous switching, with no processor overhead. The CWG also incorporates auto shutdown, auto restart, and can directly interface with other peripherals/external inputs. The COG takes the CWG and improves its performance with blanking and phase control. PSMC (Programmable Switch Mode Controller) The PSMC is a high performance 16-bit PWM with 6 configurable outputs that can operate in multiple modes. With a dedicated 64MHz clock and the flexibility to interface to external inputs as well as integrated peripherals/clock sources, the PSMC offers the highest level of advanced PWM control and accuracy in an 8-bit MCU. The PSMC can simplify the implementation of a wide array of applications such as: motor control, lighting, and power supplies.
