Microchip PIC12F(HV)752 MCU range

A family of eight-bit microcontrollers featuring next-generation analog and digital peripherals, making them suitable for general-purpose applications, as well as battery charging, LED lighting, ballast-control, power-conversion and system-control applications, has been introduced.

The PIC12F(HV)752 MCUs feature an integrated complementary output generator peripheral that provides non-overlapping, complementary waveforms for inputs such as comparators and pulse width modulation peripherals, while enabling dead-band control, auto shutdown, auto reset, phase control and blanking control.

Additionally, the MCUs feature 1.75 KB of self read-write program memory, 64 B of RAM, an on-chip 10-bit ADC, capture-compare PWM modules, high-performance comparators (down to 40 ns response) and two 50 mA-capable I/Os, enabling engineers to increase overall system capabilities.

The high-voltage variant in the family - the PIC12HV752 MCU - incorporates a shunt regulator that allows operation from 2 V to an unspecified user-defined maximum voltage level, with less than 2 mA current.

This variant is suitable for applications with high-voltage power rails. Additionally, the four-channel, 10-bit ADC can be used to implement various sensors and mTouch sensing applications, including capacitive touch.

The MCUs are supported by the company’s standard suite of development tools, including the MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE), and the PICkit 3, MPLAB REAL ICE and MPLAB ICD 3 debuggers/programmers.
