Microchip Intros PIC16F630 and PIC16F676 MCUs

Microchip Technology Inc. (Chandler, AZ) introduced its new PIC16F630 and PIC16F676 PICmicro Flash, 14-pin microcontroller devices that feature an analog-to-digital converter, internal oscillator, comparator and quick startup. The devices are suitable for small appliances, toys, sense and measurement applications, or high-end automobile systems.

The PIC16F630 and PIC16F676 devices feature Microchip's PMOS electrically erasable cell process technology, a typical stand-by current of 100 nanoamps at 2V, a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 5.5V, a quick startup of 2µs, individual on/off controls, a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter with eight channels that can use either VDD or an external voltage reference, ±2 percent stability over a wide temperature and voltage range, a comparator with an internal voltage reference with 32 selectable voltage levels, brownout reset, and In-Circuit Serial Programming™ that allows the microcontrollers to be programmed after being placed in a circuit board.

Available now in 14-pin TSSOP, PDIP and SOIC packages, pricing in high volume is $0.79 each for the PIC16F630 and $0.91 each for the PIC16F676.
