Microchip´s PIC32 family of 32-bit microcontrollers provide high performance and increased memory along with pin, peripheral, and software compatibility to Microchip's 16-bit MCU/DSC families. The PIC32 MCUs operate up to 80MHZ with core features including a best-in-class 1.5 DMIPS/MHz core operation, 32-bit address and data paths, 32-bit linear addressing, two sets of 32 x 32-bit core register files, data-space capabilities up to 512KB Flash and 32KB RAM, as well as single-cycle multiply and high-performance divide unit for 32-bit integer math, and a host of integrated peripherals for cost savings and simplified design. PIC32 MCUs are fully supported by Microchip's free MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment.
