Microchip Technology PIC32CM PL10 Low-Power Arm® Cortex®-M0+ Based MCUs
Microchip Technologies PIC32CM PL10 Low-Power Arm® Cortex®-M0+ Based MCUs offer a balanced combination of performance, power efficiency, and peripherals, making them an attractive choice when transitioning a design from an 8-bit MCU to a 32-bit MCU. The PIC32CM PL10 family is pin-compatible with the AVR Dx families of 8-bit MCUs, so users can easily migrate from AVR MCU-based hardware designs. These MCUs feature familiar peripherals found on 8-bit MCUs, including Multi-Voltage I/O (MVIO), Configurable Custom Logic (CCL), and Event System (EVSYS). These peripherals reduce the BOM and PCB footprint to create compact and cost-efficient designs.
The combination of 5V operation and integrated analog peripherals, such as the Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC), Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), and Analog Comparators, makes these Microchip PIC32CM PL10 MCUs more robust and more immune to noise.
