32-Bit Microcontrollers

Microchip Technology Inc., (Chandler, AZ) announced a new series within its PIC32MZ family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) that features an integrated hardware floating point unit (FPU) for high performance and lower latency in intensive single and double-precision math applications. This new 48-member PIC32MZ EF series also offers a 12-bit, 18 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for a wide array of high-speed, wide-bandwidth applications. Additionally, the PIC32MZ EF supports an extensive DSP instruction set.

The PIC32MZ EF series is powered by Imagination’s MIPS M-Class™ core at 200MHz/330 DMIPS and 3.28 Core- Marks™/MHz, along with dual-panel, live-update Flash (up to 2 MB), large RAM (512 KB) and the widest selection of connectivity peripherals in the entire PIC32 portfolio, including a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, Hi-Speed USB MAC/PHY and dual CAN ports. Many embedded applications are adding better graphics displays, and the PIC32MZ EF, in the LCCG configuration, can support up to a WQVGA display without the added cost of external graphics controllers. An optional, fullfeatured hardware crypto engine is also available with a random number generator for high-throughput data encryption/ decryption and authentication (e.g., AES, 3DES, SHA, MD5 and HMAC).
