Microchip announced a new, six-member family of 32-bit PIC32MX5/6/7 microcontrollers that provides the same integrated Ethernet, CAN, USB and serial connectivity peripherals with new, more cost-effective memory options. Additionally, design enhancements also provide lower power consumption of 0.5 mA/MHz active current, higher Flash memory endurance of 20k read/write cycles, and better EEPROM emulation capability. By maintaining common pin-outs,...

Microchip announced the RE46C190 3V photo smoke-detector IC with horn driver and boost regulator. The world’s first smoke-detector IC to offer low-voltage operation with programmable calibration and operating modes, the RE46C190 IC enables the optimum operating modes to be selected and calibrated during manufacturing. This simplifies smoke-detector design and manufacturing, as well as reducing component count and cost. Additionally, the ICâ€...
