Microcontrollers Integrate USB and Large RAM

August 6, 2010 By Medical Design Technology

Microcontrollers Integrate USB and Large RAMMicrochip Technology Inc., a leading
provider of microcontroller, analog, and Flash-IP solutions
, offers the four-member PIC24FJ256GB210
microcontroller family, which integrates USB for Embedded
Host/Peripheral/On-the-Go and 96 Kbytes of RAM. This large RAM enables the
buffering of sizeable amounts of data and better overall throughput, for
applications such as Ethernet connectivity, remote sensing, data logging, and
audio streaming. It can also be used to store generated images or data for
dynamic content, such as real-time, remote sensor data graphs. In combination
with Microchip’s free USB software library and TCP/IP stack, these MCUs lower
system costs and footprints in medical applications.

The requirements for embedded designs are rapidly expanding,
including the widespread and growing adoption of connectivity and the ability
to buffer large amounts of data. At the same time, the pressure to reduce cost
and size is constant. Microchip integrates a USB peripheral and large amounts
of RAM into a single microcontroller as small as 64 pins, along with Peripheral
Pin Select to provide designers the flexibility to remap digital I/O pins. Additional
peripherals include 24 channels of mTouch capacitive touch sensing, along with
a free touch software library, and the 16-bit Enhanced Parallel Master/Slave
Port, which enables wider peripheral selection and improved bandwidth when
connecting to off-chip resources.
