Featured Microchip Technology - nanoWatt XLP MCU's

As more electronic applications require low power or battery power, energy conservation becomes paramount. Today's applications must consume little power, and in extreme cases, last for up to 15-20 years, while running from a single battery. To enable applications like these, Microchip has introduced nanoWatt XLP Technology. Extreme low power microcontrollers featuring nanoWatt XLP Technology offer the industry's lowest currents for Sleep, where extreme low power applications spend 90%-99% of their time.

Powered only by light, this Microchip XLP Energy Harvesting Development Kit enables rapid prototyping of low power applications such as RF sensors, temperature/environmental sensors, utility meters, remote controls, and security sensors.

Microchip Technology PIC18F86J72 / PIC18F87J72 High-Performance Microcontrollers

Microchip Technology PIC18F86J72 / PIC18F87J72 high-performance microcontrollers (MCUs) are 8-bit devices for single-phase, multi-function smart metering and energy monitoring applications. PIC18F86J72 and PIC18F87J72 MCUs feature a dual-channel, high-performance 16- / 24-bit analog front end (AFE), making these Microchip Technology devices an accurate, reliable, easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for developing meters that exceed IEC class 0.5 performance. This Microchip Technology MCU family includes 64 or 128 KB Flash program memory and 4 KB RAM to enable time-of-use and multi-tariff functions. PIC18F86J72 and PIC18F87J72 MCUs provide a high level of peripheral integration, including an LCD driver, RTCC, and charge-time measurement unit (CTMU) that enables a capacitive-touch user interface.
