Low-power 8-bit MCUs for embedded applications

Microchip PIC18F microcontrollers are now available from RS Components. They are the most capable 8-bit devices within Microchip's portfolio. Available within the range is CAN, LIN and Ethernet capability as part of a comprehensive set of peripherals to meet the needs of embedded applications and versions featuring XLP (extreme low-power) technology for where power consumption is a key consideration. The PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 family of microcontrollers is based on Microchip's PIC18 architecture offering a 31 level hardware stack and 75 instructions. The MCUs provide up to 10 MIPS, up to 32 Kbytes program memory with RAM of up to 1536 bytes and 256 bytes of Data EEPROM. On board is a configurable oscillator.
