The PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 MCUs are ideally suited for applications that use closed-loop control. The main advantage is that CIP can independently manage tasks and reduce CPU processing. With hardware-based CIP, system designers can also save time and simplify design work. Significantly reduce the amount of software required for writing and verifying operations. Both series of products guarantee functional safety, operate at voltages up to 5V, improve noise immunity, and are compatible with most analog outputs and digital sensors.
The new ATtiny1607 family is housed in a compact 3 x 3 mm 20-pin QFN package optimized for space-constrained closed-loop control systems such as hand-held power tools and remote controls. This family of devices integrates not only high-speed analog-to-digital converters ( ADC) to increase the speed of analog signal conversion to produce deterministic system response and also improve oscillator accuracy, allowing designers to reduce external components and save costs. The CIP of the PIC18 Q10 family includes Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) peripherals. Simplify complex switch design; analog-to-digital converter (ADC2) with calculation function, which can perform advanced calculations and data filtering in hardware without any kernel intervention. This type of CIP allows the CPU to perform human-machine interface (HMI) control, etc. Complex tasks, and maintaining a low-function mode when no processing requirements are required, to achieve energy savings.
Steve Drehobl, Microchip's vice president of the 8-bit MCU business unit, stated: 'We have seen a growing demand for flexible embedded PIC and AVR microcontrollers for various embedded control applications. By focusing on the challenges faced by designers of closed-loop control systems, we have Unprecedented ease of use and performance in the PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 series products.
Development Tools All PIC18 Q10 products are supported by the MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC). The free software plug-in provides a graphical interface to facilitate the configuration of peripherals and functions. The MCC has been integrated into the Microchip Downloadable MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and No need to download the cloud in MPLAB Xpress IDE. The fully integrated Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) Development Board (DM164136) is a feature-rich rapid prototyping board that can also be used to start developing with these MCUs.
The ATmega4809 Xplained Pro (ATmega4809-XPRO) Evaluation Kit supports rapid prototyping using the ATtiny1607 family. This USB-powered kit includes touch keys, LEDs, and expansion headers for quick installation. A programmer is also included on the board. / Debugger, with Atmel Studio 7 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Atmel START (a free online tool for configuring peripherals and software to accelerate development) Seamless integration.
