Microchip Sets New Benchmark for Low-Power Microcontrollers; Significantly Expands Enhanced 8-bit PIC MCU Portfolio
New MCUs Feature Less Than 50 A/MHz Active Current; Industry-Leading Peripheral Integration
Microchip Technology Inc. unveiled several new 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) that sets the industry benchmark for low-power microcontrollers and peripheral integration. These new MCUs feature active currents of less than 50 A/MHz and sleep currents down to 20 nA. The PIC12F182X MCUs extend Microchips Enhanced Mid-range 8-bit core product line into the 8-pin segment, and include mTouch capacitive touch-sensing, and communications peripherals. The PIC16F19XX MCUs feature a broad range of peripherals, such as mTouch capacitive touch-sensing module, LCD drive, multiple communications and more Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) peripherals. All of these general-purpose MCUs are well suited for applications in the appliance, consumer, industrial and automotive markets, among others. nanoWatt XLP technology remains the standard for battery-friendly MCUs, which, combined with the extremely low active-current consumption of these new MCUs, improves overall energy efficiency to levels currently not readily available. Microchips Enhanced Mid-range 8-bit architecture provides an up to 50% increase in performance, and 14 new instructions that result in up to 40% better code execution over previous-generation 8-bit PIC16 MCUs. The PIC1XF182X MCUs include dual I2C/SPI interfaces, multiple PWM channels with independent time bases, a Data Signal Modulator and other peripherals that enable designers to combine many functions into a single MCU. The PIC16F19XX MCUs provide up to 28 KB of Flash program memory and numerous enhanced capabilities. The on-chip LCD drive supports up to 184 segments and provides a low-power drive mode for increased efficiency. The MCUs also include up to 5 PWM channels with independent time bases for controlling various motor types and peripherals. Designers can use Microchips F1 Evaluation Platform (part # DM164130-1, $39.99) for developing with Enhanced 8-bit PIC MCUs. The platform includes a 44-pin development board populated with a PIC16LF1937 MCU, prototyping space, 3V LCD glass, support for the PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer (part # PG164130, $44.95) and a motor-control add-on. The PIC16F1937 Plug-In Module (part # MA160012, $25) for Microchips PIC18 Explorer Board (part # DM183032, $99.99) is also available. Microchips PICDEM Lab Development Kit (part # DM163035, $124.99) can be used with the PIC1XF182X MCUs. The kit comes complete with a development board containing five popular 8-bit PIC MCUs, a bag of discrete components, a debugger/programmer and a CD containing a Users Guide, labs and application examples. , QFN, SOIC, TQFP , TSSOP and UQFN packages of varying sizes, The PIC1XF182X and PIC16F19XX MCUs are available in DFN, PDIP from 8- to 64-pins; at prices ranging from $0.69 to $1.74 each, in 10,000-unit quantities.

Non-Volatile, Quad Digital Potentiometers Deliver Static Current Consumption of 5 Microamperes (max.)
7- and 8-bit Digital Potentiometers (Digi Pots) specified for operation from -40 to 125C and available in packages as small as 4 mm x 4 mm QFN
Microchip announced the MCP4341, MCP4342 (MCP434X), MCP4361 and MCP4362 (MCP436X) quad digital potentiometers. The 7and 8-bit, non-volatile devices feature an SPI interface and static current consumption of just 5 microamperes (max.). They are specified for operation from -40 C to 125 C and are available in space-saving packages as small as 4 mm x 4 mm QFN, making them ideal for consumer and industrial applications, such as power-supply trim and calibration, set-point and process control, closed-loop servo control, PC peripherals, portable instrumentation, instrumentation offset adjust and signal conditioning. Unlike mechanical potentiometers, the MCP434X/436X devices can be controlled digitally, through a SPI interface. This eliminates the need for human interaction, which increases system accuracy, flexibility and manufacturing throughput while decreasing manufacturing costs. Digital control also provides more system flexibility than mechanical control. Non-volatile memory enables the digital potentiometers to retain their settings at power down, and their low static current consumption of just 5 microamperes (max.) helps to extend battery life. The MCP4341/2 digital potentiometers are available in 14- and 20-pin TSSOP, and 4 mm x 4 mm QFN packages, for $1.00 each in 10,000-unit quantities. The MCP4361/2 digital potentiometers are available in 14and 20-pin TSSOP, and 4 mm x 4 mm QFN packages, for $1.34 each in 10,000-unit quantities.

BRAKE MODEL 3
(Ke or Voltage Peak/Krpm) of the motor, it will most likely need to run at a very high speed in order to produce sufficient voltage. The problem is that braking creates a load on the motor and causes its speed to quickly drop out of the recharging range! Using the dsPIC we can also solve this problem. In addition to rectifying the voltage, the dsPIC can Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) the low-side MOSFETs in the motor drive electronics creating a boost converter circuit using the motor coils. Depending on the PWM duty cycle, this will increase the voltage by as much as 400% and allow us to recharge the battery over a wide range of motor speeds. Doing this will also load the motor and slow it down, similarly to mechanically applying brakes. The recharging current will vary linearly with the PWM duty cycle up to about 70%. Beyond that, the current drops due to motor construction issues. While the brake force will be proportional to the recharging current, we cant just set the duty cycle at 100%. The dsPIC will need to actively adjust or limit the PWM duty cycle. This can be accomplished by implementing a software PID loop to control the recharging current. There are two reasons for the control loop. The first is to ensure that the voltage seen on the MOSFETs are kept within their specification limits to prevent component failure! The second is that by maintaining a constant brake force as the motor speed changes, the driver will feel a controlled linear response and allow them to better judge when to apply the mechanical brakes to finally stop the vehicle.
