PIC32MZ EF series, the first among Microchip's PIC32 MCU product family to
meet AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40℃~125℃) specifications

Microchip Technology (North Asia General Manager and Korea Representative: Han Byung-don) has announced the addition of new products to its 32-bit PIC32MZ EF microcontroller (MCU) family that support expanded temperature specifications and high-speed (250MHz) industrial temperature-rated products. This product family is Microchip's first automotive-grade PIC 32 MCU.

The PIC32MZ EF product family delivers excellent core performance at up to 250MHz, a floating-point unit (FPU), diverse peripherals, and outstanding connectivity options such as CAN (Controller Area Network). These extended temperature-rated products are suitable for a variety of critical automotive and industrial applications requiring high reliability and robustness even at elevated temperatures.

Additionally, Microchip has added products supporting industrial temperature range (-40℃~85℃) that deliver faster performance (250MHz/795 CoreMark). This high-speed product is ideal for applications such as high-resolution audio that require higher core performance for faster audio processing and streaming.

Rod Drake, Vice President of Microchip's MCU32 Business Unit, stated, "Since the launch of the PIC32MZ EF series, we have seen a rapid increase in customers adopting this product. The launch of our first extended temperature specification product supporting the PIC32 series and meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards will be a significant milestone in Microchip's product roadmap, and the ability to deliver superior performance for process-intensive applications through faster operation is a remarkable advancement for this entire product family."
