Mouser Electronics, a global leader in semiconductor and electronic components distribution, is now stocking the latest high-performance 32-bit PIC32A MCUs from Microchip Technology.

This supply decision reflects the needs of compute-intensive applications such as automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and healthcare.

PIC32A MCUs are attracting attention as a next-generation solution that can maximize advanced sensor interfaces and data processing performance.

It is equipped with a 32-bit CPU operating at 200MHz and a 64-bit DP-FPU (double precision floating point unit) to quickly perform complex calculation processing.

In addition, it is designed to perform various functions with a single chip by embedding a 12-bit ADC with up to 40Msps, a 5ns high-speed comparator, and an operational amplifier (op amp) with a 100MHz GPWP.

The great strength of this product is that it simplifies system design by minimizing the use of external components and maximizes the overall bill of materials (BOM) reduction effect.

Additionally, PIC32A devices have significantly enhanced reliability and security features.

Error code correction (ECC) for flash and RAM, built-in memory self-test (MBIST), I/O On-chip functions such as integrity check, secure boot, flash access control, and clock error detection are embedded to ensure that software within embedded control systems runs stably and safely.

Such safety features are expected to play an important role, especially in fields that require high reliability, such as automobiles and medical devices.

Additionally, the PIC32A MCU family is further supported by the BN61G23A Curiosity Platform Development Board and EV25Z08A GP DIM bundle.

The Curiosity Platform Development Board features a variety of power supply options, an integrated programmer/debugger, and expansion headers to provide an optimal development environment for both novice and experienced developers to easily explore the product’s diverse features and effectively introduce model-based design.

These support systems are expected to drive innovation across industries by enabling shorter development periods and rapid prototyping.

Microchip's PIC32A MCUs are expected to be positioned as a solution suitable for a variety of applications that require a balance of high performance and low power, including automotive electrical systems, consumer electronics, and industrial control devices.

In particular, in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, it is expected to attract attention as a core component of next-generation smart devices by implementing real-time analysis and control through high-speed data processing.
