    Microchip Announces Complete Portfolio of 8-, 16- and 32-bit USB Microcontrollers

    The PIC18F13K50 and PIC18F14K50 (PIC18F1XK50) are the lowest-cost USB MCUs from Microchip, and build on a broad family of existing USB PIC microcontrollers. They provide a host of features not normally found on inexpensive 8-bit MCUs--enabling the addition of embedded USB into a wide range of applications. The PIC18F1XK50 MCUs include a variety of serial communications interfaces, such as USB 2.0, I2CTM, SPI and USART; enabling them to transfer data between USB and other embedded serial networks.

    The 12-member PIC24F USB microcontroller family is the lowest power (2.6 uA standby current) large-memory (up to 256 KB Flash and 16 KB RAM) 16-bit USB microcontroller family in the world. As the only 16-bit microcontroller family with integrated USB 2.0 device, embedded-host, dual-role and OTG functionality, the PIC24F makes it cost effective and easy to add advanced USB features to embedded designs.

    The PIC32 microcontroller family members with integrated USB 2.0 OTG functionality bring more performance and memory to embedded designers, while maintaining pin, peripheral and software compatibility with Microchip's 16-bit microcontroller families. With a maximum operating frequency of 80 MHz, up to 512 KB of Flash and 32 KB of RAM, and USB OTG, the PIC32 USB family members enable lower BOM costs and smaller PCB real estate.
