nanoWatt XLP Battery Life Estimator
The XLP Battery Life Estimator is a free software utility to aid you in developing eXtreme Low Power applications with Microchip’s PIC MCUs featuring XLP technology. The tool estimates average current consumption and battery life. The utility allows users to select the target device, battery type, the application’s operating conditions (such as voltage and temperature) and finally model the active and power-down times for their applications. The tool comes pre-loaded with specifications of Microchip’s PIC MCUs featuring nanoWatt XLP technology and commonly used batteries in embedded applications. Users can also create additional profiles for a custom battery of their choice, if necessary.

Total Endurance Software
Microchip's Total Endurance™ Software Disk provides electronic systems designers with unprecedented visibility into Serial EEPROM-based applications. Now designers can describe their system to an advanced mathematical model (with a very friendly human interface) which will then predict the performance and reliability of the Serial EEPROM within that environment.
CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 22, 2010 — Microchip Technology Inc. today announced the MCP4341, MCP4342 (MCP434X), MCP4361 and MCP4362 (MCP436X) quad digital potentiometers. The 7- and 8-bit, non-volatile devices feature an SPI interface and static current consumption of just 5 microamperes (max.). They are specified for operation from – 40° C to 125° C and are available in space-saving packages as small as 4 mm x 4 mm QFN, making them ideal for consumer and industrial applications, such as power-supply trim and calibration, set-point and process control, closed-loop servo control, PC peripherals, portable instrumentation, instrumentation offset adjust and signal conditioning.
Unlike mechanical potentiometers, the MCP434X/436X devices can be controlled digitally, through a SPI interface. This eliminates the need for human interaction, which increases system accuracy, flexibility and manufacturing throughput while decreasing manufacturing costs. Digital control also provides more system flexibility than mechanical control. Non-volatile memory enables the digital potentiometers to retain their settings at power down, and their low static current consumption of just 5 microamperes (max.) helps to extend battery life.
With static current consumption of just 5 microamperes (max.), and availability in small packages, the MCP434X and MCP436X digital potentiometers help designers achieve these goals.”Packaging, Pricing & AvailabilityThe MCP4341/2 digital potentiometers are available in 14- and 20-pin TSSOP, and 4 mm x 4 mm QFN packages, for $1.00 each in 10,000-unit quantities. The MCP4361/2 digital potentiometers are available in 14- and 20-pin TSSOP, and 4 mm x 4 mm QFN packages, for $1.34 each in 10,000-unit quantities. Samples can be ordered today.
18-pin PIC® Microcontrollers Feature Microchip’s EnhancedMid-range Core, Industry-Leading eXtreme Low Power Consumption
Microchip Technology Inc announces the PIC16(L)F1826 and PIC16(L)F1827 general-purpose 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), the latest PIC® MCUs to feature the Company’s Enhanced Mid-range core. The first extension of this core into the 18-pin range, the PIC16(L)F1826/7 MCUs provide an advanced peripheral set that includes an mTouch™ capacitive touch-sensing module and dual I2C™/SPI interfaces, along with “LF” versions featuring industry-leading low power consumption via Microchip’s nanoWatt XLP eXtreme Low-Power technology. The MCUs’ increased speed, ease-of-use and low cost provide an excellent pin-compatible migration path for legacy 18-pin PIC MCUs still used in many designs, today.
The PIC12F617 MCU provides 3.5 kB of Flash programmable memory with a self read-write capability. This serves as a low-cost alternative to data EEPROM and is useful when an application requires remote updates, or the ability to store system data or look-up tables. The microcontroller features an 8 MHz internal oscillator, an on-chip 4-channel 10-bit ADC, a comparator with hysteresis and a PWM with complementary outputs that provide a framework for applications such as LED lighting control, motor control, capacitive touch keys and system monitors.
Features
New Kit Makes it Easy to Develop Inductive Touch-Sensing Designs
Microchip Technology Inc. announces the PICDEM™ Inductive Touch Development Kit (part # DM183027), which makes it easy to develop inductive touch-sensing applications using standard 8-, 16- or 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs), or 16-bit dsPIC® Digital Signal Controller (DSCs). The kit includes a fully-developed inductive-touch board, complete with embossed metal front panel, source code, schematics and a diagnostic software tool that enables designers to evaluate their
application. The kit is available for purchase today for $69.99. Inductive touch sensing’s fundamental operating principles enable it to work through a front panel, such as plastic, stainless steel or aluminium, providing a completely sealed user interface that works through gloves and on surfaces that contain liquids. Major applications for inductive touch-sensing user interfaces include those in the appliance market because of the possibility of a stainless-steel front panel; the industrial market because of the technology’s robustness; and the automotive market because of the technology’s sleek aesthetics and ability to reduce accidental touch triggers.
