• 8-bit PIC gives much more, for much, much less

  Editor Chris. A. Ciufo gets the low-down from the DESIGN West conference.
  At the recent DESIGN West conference in San Jose (formerly known as "ESC"), Microchip unleashed a new C-compiler strategy for its entire line-up, and a new low-cost 8-bit PIC MCU called the PIC16F178X. I got a chance to chat briefly with Greg Brown, Product Marketing Manager for the MCU8 division of Microchip. Click on the video to hear this on-target 3-minute interview.

  Check out our 3-minute video interview with the product's Marketing Manager to learn more.

• Demo of eXtreme Low Power (XLP) MCUs

  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, products with Microchip's nanoWatt XLP Technology offer the industry's lowest currents for Run and Sleep, where extreme low power applications spend 90%-99% of their time.
