Microchip offers a rich set of high performance 16-bit PIC microcontroller peripherals that integrate seamlessly with customer applications and enable solutions with reduced costs and development time. There are a number of benefits from this high level of integration, including improved system response time, flexibility for customizable application functions, intelligently controlled functions and closed loop control, ease of use via Microchip’s MCC or MPLAB Code Configurator and extensive documentation support, and an easy migration path due to the MPLAB X – integrated development environment and pin compatibility across a given device family. The MCU16 product family features Core Independent Peripherals which are designed to handle their tasks with no code or supervision from the CPU to maintain operation and are interconnected to all near zero latency sharing of data, logic inputs or analog signals without additional code or interruption to the CPU. This robust set of 16-bit PIC® peripherals and extensive development environment results in the simplified implementation of complex control systems and gives designers the flexibility to innovate.
