Mouser has joined with Microchip Technology to deliver the engineering community with a new free webinar titled 'Optimising Sensing Applications with PIC and AVR Microcontrollers'. The webinar will be streamed live at 16:00 CEST on Tuesday, 11 July 2023.
The webinar will cover enhancements on modern PIC and AVR MCUs, including advanced analogue peripherals and how these can be easily configured in the easy-to-use Microchip toolchain.
The online learning session will demonstrate how the new PIC18F56Q71, PIC16F18126/46, and AVR16/32DD28/32 AVR DD MCUs from Microchip can be employed either standalone or as an analogue sensing companion device. The new MCUs, when paired with a processing centric controller, allow complex designs that cross multiple voltage domains. This combination of small form-factor MCUs provides features ideal for applications needing low power consumption, robust operation, and dynamic sensing capabilities, such as home automation, industrial process control, automotive and IoT.
The new PIC18F56Q71 PIC MCUs also provide many practical features for advanced sensing applications, including the ability to lower analogue peripheral power consumption without CPU intervention dynamically, analogue-to-digital conversion with dynamic context switching of integrated math hardware, and much more.
The PIC and AVR MCUs can be employed with their dedicated Curiosity Nano evaluation boards to provide designers a simple way to debug and incorporate the devices into their custom designs. This includes the EV72Y42A for the AVR64DD32, the EV72J15A for the PIC16F17146 and the EV01G21A for the PIC18FQ71 family.
By attending this webinar, participants will understand how newer PIC and AVR devices facilitate low-power, robust and responsive sensor data acquisition; how integrated analogue on new PIC and AVR devices can interconnect with other on-chip resources for automated task handling; how to use tools like MPLAB Code Configurator to quickly and easily develop and deploy applications; and how to interconnect with other devices to optimise system performance.
Marc McComb, principal technical marketing engineer and manager at Microchip Technology, will present the webinar. For the past 13 years, Marc has helped engineering customers and decision-makers integrate embedded technology into consumer electronics.
