Microchip announces an expansion to the PIC16F75X family of 8-bit microcontrollers that incorporate intelligent analog electronics and core-independent peripherals, making them ideal for general-purpose applications such as power supplies, battery charging, LED lighting, power management and smart power/energy control applications. The new PIC16F753 microcontroller builds on the success of the popular PIC12F752. The PIC16F753 offers all the major features of the PIC12F752, such as the integrated Complementary Output Generator (COG) peripheral, which provides non-overlapping complementary waveforms for inputs such as comparators and Pulse Width Modulation (Pulse Width Modulation) peripherals. , PWM), and allows control of dead band, auto power off, auto restart, phase control, and clear control. In addition, the PIC16F753 offers an op amp with a 3 MHz gain-bandwidth product and slope compensation circuitry to aid switching power supply applications. The new microcontroller also incorporates 3,5 KB of automatic read-write program memory,
128B of RAM, an onboard 10-bit A/D converter, 9-bit D/A converter, PWM capture/compare modules, high-performance comparators, and two 50mA capable I/Os, allowing engineers to increase system capacity and reduce costs.

With its increased smart analog capability, the PIC16F753 helps increase system performance and efficiency and reduce system cost, especially for new smart energy and LED lighting applications. With the many general purpose and specialized type peripherals that integrates the chip, such as the integrated COG, high-performance comparators and 50 mA outputs forDirect FET control, the PIC16F753 microcontroller meets the needs of various applications. The high voltage version incorporates a shunt regulator that allows its operation between 2V and a maximum voltage level not specified and defined by the user, with a working current less than 2 mA. This high voltage version is ideal for cost sensitive applications with high voltage power rails. In addition, the 10-channel 8-bit A/D converter can be used to implement various sensors and mTouch sensing applications.™, including capacitive touch sensing.
The PIC16F753 microcontroller enables efficient power conversion in applications such as LED lighting and power control. It also provides a versatile platform for incorporating intelligence into numerous automotive, consumer, commercial or industrial applications, in which it allows to have an intelligent infrastructure of the system with greater efficiencies, reduced costs and an improved user experience.
The PIC16F753 is supported by Microchip's standard suite of world-class development tools, including the development kit PICDEM™(DM163045) priced at
134,99 dollars; the PICkit™ 3 (PG164130) for $44,95; and the PICkit development board
(DM164130-9) for $25,99. A free reference design for a high power LED flashlight is also available for this product.
The PIC16F753 is now available for sampling in a 16-pin QFN package and
4mm x 4mm, as well as in 14-pin PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP packages. The PIC16F753 is available in a High Voltage (HV) version. for all encapsulations. Volume production is scheduled for July.
