Microchip adds self-programmable Flash memory to 8-bit family
Published:  27 January, 2010

Microchip has announced a new member of its 8- and 14-pin PIC16F61X 8-bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) family, targeting cost-effective general-purpose applications. The PIC12F617 MCU features 3.5kbyte of self-programmable Flash program memory, and peripherals such as a 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC), comparator, Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM) and VREF for closed-loop-control applications - all in a 3 mm x 3 mm DFN package.

The PIC12F617 MCU provides 3.5kbyte of Flash programmable memory with a self read-write capability. This serves as a low-cost alternative to data EEPROM and is useful when an application requires remote updates, or the ability to store system data or look-up tables.

The microcontroller features an 8MHz internal oscillator, an on-chip 4-channel 10-bit ADC, a comparator with hysteresis and a PWM with complementary outputs that provide a framework for applications such as LED lighting control, motor control, capacitive touch keys and system monitors.
