Microchip Technology Intros PIC18F8722 Series MCUs

Microchip Technology Inc. (Chandler, AZ), a provider of microcontroller (MCU) and analog semiconductors, announced four new high pin-count, high-density members of the PIC18F family, offering cost-effective 96 Kb and 128 Kb of self-reprogrammable, high-endurance Flash memory with up to 10 MIPS performance over a wide operating voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V.

Suitable for high-end industrial, consumer, automotive and medical applications, the eight-bit PIC18F8722 Series MCUs addresses performance and memory needs by providing linear access to a memory space as large as 2 Mb, while offering complete code and tool compatibility with smaller Microchip microcontrollers. In addition, the new PIC18F microcontrollers include nanoWatt Technology for reduced energy budgets and prolonged battery life, along with two synchronous serial ports (capable of SPI™ or I2C™) and two asynchronous serial ports for expanded connectivity.

The four new PIC18F8722 Series microcontrollers are available now for general sampling and volume production.
