High-performance 32-bit MCU for multiple industries

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the PIC32A high-performance 32-bit MCUs from Microchip Technology. The PIC32A MCUs help developers accelerate the execution of math-intensive applications that need advanced sensor interfacing and data processing. Designed to reduce the need for external components significantly, the MCUs are cost-efficient, high-performance solutions for automotive, industrial, consumer, AI, ML, and medical applications.

The MCUs feature a 200MHz 32-bit CPU and a 64-bit double-precision floating-point unit (DP-FPU) that efficiently manages data-intensive math processing applications and facilitates the easier adoption of model-based designs. Integrated features, such as 12-bit ADCs with up to 40Msps, high-speed 5ns comparators, and 100MHz gain bandwidth product (GBWP) op-amps, enable multiple functions to be performed on a single MCU, optimising system and BOM costs.

The devices also prioritise reliability and security, offering on-chip safety features, including ECC on Flash and RAM, Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST), I/O integrity checks, secure boot, Flash access control, and clock failure detection. These features offer the safe execution of software code within an embedded control system application.

The dsPIC33A Curiosity Platform development board and the EV25Z08A GP DIM bundle support the PIC32A family of MCUs. The Curiosity Platform development board provides a comprehensive environment for exploring the capabilities of the PIC32A MCU family, featuring multiple power supply options, an integrated programmer/debugger, and expansion headers for improved functionality. The Microchip BN61G23A bundle is ideal for embedded systems development, prototyping, and educational purposes, providing a versatile and user-friendly platform for novice and experienced developers.
