Microchip's PIC18-Q71 product family combines powerful core independent peripherals (CIPs) and a high level of analog integration to simplify sensor interfacing and analog measurements, optimize system performance, and reduce BOM cost. PIC18-Q71 MCUs contain a 12-bit differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC), configurable operational amplifiers (OPAs), high-speed analog comparators, and an 8-bit virtual port to interconnect digital peripherals. These MCUs have extended timing capabilities for precision control with integrated high-resolution 16-bit dual pulse width modulators (PWMs), a 20-bit numerically controller oscillator (NCO), and a 32-bit universal timer (UT). Their rich set of CIPs, in combination with the analog peripheral manager (APM), enable simple analog configurations and quick responses to system events. Users can easily configure peripherals and functions, generate application code, and simulate analog circuits before hardware prototyping to reduce their development time and speed up time to market. This product family is available in package and memory options for a variety of applications, including LED lighting, predictive maintenance, medical, home automation, industrial process control, automotive, and Internet of Things (IoT).
