Automotive Microcontrollers and Microprocessors

We are a leading supplier of 8-bit MCUs to the automotive industry. Our PIC^® and AVR^® MCUs offer flexible package options ranging from 6 to 80 pins and program Flash sizes up to 128 KB. These MCUs can be used in an array of automotive applications such as sensor interface and control, capacitive touch, interior and exterior LED lighting and LIN and CAN communication.

Key Features:

• Core independent peripherals (CIPs) that operate without constant CPU interaction
• Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) for creating cost-effective, low-power touch designs
• Intelligent analog peripherals for sensor interfacing and signal conditioning
• Support for communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, USB and UART

Our simple-to-use and cost-effective PIC24F MCUs enable smart sensor nodes and basic control nodes. These AEC Q100 Grade 1-qualified PIC24F MCUs target applications such as pressure sensors, urea sensors, rain sensors and more.

Key Features:

• Dual-partition memory with up to 1024 KB of Flash
• A rich set of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs)
• Key communication and control peripherals including LIN, USB, SPI, UART, I²C, Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs)
• Specialized features including segment LCD and low-power operation
• A range of hardware safety features for reliable operation
• An upgrade in features and peripherals for applications that are pushing the boundaries of 8-bit MCUs

With dedicated peripherals for motor control, digital power conversion, advanced sensing and control, touch and general automotive designs, our dsPIC33 DSCs can be used in a range of automotive applications, whether in internal combustion engines or in electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. Harsh underhood environments pose no problem for our AEC Q100 Grade 0 qualified DSCs.
