Microchip's new family of PIC18FXX2 Flash microcontrollers combines an extensive peripheral set with a powerful microcontroller core. The new microcontrollers are drop-in compatible with the existing PIC18CXX2 OTP family and provide a seamless migration path to flexible, self-programmable Flash-based platforms.
Microchip has also announced six other high-performance Flash microcontrollers. These include the new PIC18FXX8 family of 28- and 40-lead self-programmable Flash memory devices with intelligent CAN 2.0B active interface and an abundant peripheral set.
Microchip's unique Flash process manufacturing technology includes a patented PMOS Electrically Eraseable Cell (PEEC) which provides best-in-class ERASE/WRITE endurance, retention, and disturb reliability for both program and on-chip data memory.
Microchip's PICmicro Flash devices allow the microcontrollers to be programmed after being placed in a circuit board, and support self-programming over the entire operating voltage range.
