Overview of AR1000 Series Resistive Touch Screen Controller.

This short video features the new programmer-to-go function of Microchip's PICkit™ 3 programmer/debugger. The Programmer To-Go function provides a quick, easy, and simple way to program any of Microchip's PIC microcontrollers including PIC16F, PIC18F, dsPIC33f, PIC24, and PIC 32.

Microchip's Jonathan Dillon gives an overview of Microchip's 8-bit PIC® Micro controller Solutions from ESC Silicon Valley 2010.

Microchip announces the industry’s first Ion and photo smoke-detector ICs to offer alarm memory. The low-power power RE46C162/3 Ion and RE46C165/6/7/8 (RE46C16X) photo smoke-detector ICs make it easy to quickly determine which detector in an interconnected loop triggered an alarm. The ICs’ low energy use enables smoke detectors with a battery life of 10 years, and an interconnect filter enables a connection to other devices, such as CO dete...

Microchip announced two new development tools for adding advanced human interfaces to PIC32, 32-bit microcontroller-based designs. The Multimedia Expansion Board enables development of highly interactive, graphics-based interfaces with network connectivity. The enhanced mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit adds a new board for implementing capacitive touch sensing with the PIC32.

Microchip annonce la première technologie du marché - et la seule - à rendre compatible le tactile capacitif avec les panneaux de commande métalliques. Forte du succès rencontré par le lancement de la technologie tactile capacitive mTouch™, cette technologie robuste libre de royalties fonctionne désormais aussi sur les surfaces métalliques, avec des gants ou sur des surfaces mouillées, tout en permettant par ailleurs d’utiliser le Br...

Microchip announces the first and only technology in the industry to enable capacitive touch-sensing with a metal front panel. Building upon the success of the initial release of mTouch capacitive touch-sensing technology, the royalty-free, robust technology now works through metal, gloves and on surfaces that contain liquids, and it enables Braille to be used on capacitive touch-sensing interfaces. Designers can integrate mTouch capacitive tou...

Microchip annonce le lancement de huit nouveaux microcontrôleurs appartenant à la gamme des PIC24FJ256DA, intégrant trois unités d’accélération graphique, un contrôleur d’écran ainsi que 96 Ko de mémoire RAM. Cette intégration réduit les coûts système et simplifie l’adjonction d’écrans graphiques avancés pour un large éventail d’applications embarquées, puisqu’elle permet de se passer de RAM et d’un contrôleur d’...

Microchip announces the eight-member PIC24FJ256DA microcontroller family, which integrates three graphics acceleration units and a display controller, along with up to 96Kbytes of RAM. This integration reduces system costs and makes it practical to add advanced graphics displays for a wide range of embedded applications, by eliminating the need for external RAM and a display controller. Additional savings are achieved through the integrated per...

Microchip announces the availability of two new wireless connectivity solutions targeting both the certified IEEE802.11 (Wi-Fi) market and the Sub-GHz ISM bands.
