Microchip has released a variety of low-cost, small-form-factor USB microcontrollers (MCUs). The latest USB PIC MCUs feature internal clock sources with 0.25% clock accuracy to enable USB connectivity with no external crystal. They are claimed to be the first USB MCUs to combine pin counts ranging from 14 to 100, with high peripheral integration and up to 128 kB of flash. The eXtreme low power (XLP) technology also keeps power consumption down to 35 μA/MHz in active mode and 20 nA in sleep mode.

The PIC16F145X MCUs provide USB connectivity and capacitive touch sensing in addition to a wide range of integrated peripherals with footprints down to 4 x 4 mm.

With an integrated charge time measurement unit (CTMU) and 1.8 to 5 V operation, PIC18F2X/4XK50 MCUs are pin compatible with legacy PIC18 MCUs, giving an easy migration to higher performance.

The PIC18F97J94 family provide USB connectivity with LCD control and a battery-backed real-time clock calendar (RTCC), all on a single 8-bit PIC microcontroller.
