New Updates to the PIC32MK Series of 32-bit MCUs for Motor Control, Industrial and Automotive Applications
Second generation PIC32MK Series of 32-bit MCUs, Tailor Made for Precision Motor Control, Industrial and Automotive Applications
Microchip has expanded its PIC32MK family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCU) with two new device families. The new families offer industry-leading analog integration, small package size and more efficient multiple motor drive applications with a variety of communication interfaces including USB, CAN FD, SPI, I2C and UART. They also bring performance-intensive CPU (running at 120 MHz/198 DMIPS) and up to 1 MB of dual-panel live update Flash memory with Error Code Correction (ECC) for embedded control applications, including motor control, industrial control, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and automotive applications.
Expanding on the lineup of 100 and 64-pin packages, the PIC32MK is now available in a space-saving 48-pin QFN, measuring just 6x6mm for size critical mixed-signal applications. The new device families come in two variants:
● the PIC32MK GPK/MCM family
● the PIC32MK GPG/MCJ family, providing an upgrade to the existing PIC32MK GPD/GPE/MCF family
Enhanced Features of the PIC32MK GPK/MCM Family and the PIC32MK GPG/MCJ Family
● Error Correction Code (ECC) management to augment Flash performance and reliability
● Updated CAN to CAN FD - Up to 4x CAN FD that enables the sensor and control data to transmit and receive at much faster rate
● Automatic Gain Control (AGC) added to oscillator
● Package options from 48 to 100 Pins in both TQFP and QFN type
● Added I2C support
