Provides DMA to transfer data without CPU supervision

Mouser Electronics is stocking the PIC18 K83 microcontroller from Microchip Technology. This 8-bit MCU integrates a CAN bus with various Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) to improve response times to system events. These CIPs perform tasks without code or CPU supervision, enhancing system performance and enabling engineers to easily implement CAN-based applications.

Microchip's PIC18 K83 microcontroller, available from Mouser Electronics, features 15 time-saving Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) across 28 pins and supports up to 64KB of Flash memory. The CIPs include digital peripherals such as three Complementary Waveform Generators (CWGs), which provide high-efficiency synchronous switching for motor control, and two Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers, which transfer data between memory and peripherals without CPU intervention. Intelligent analog peripherals, including a 12-bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) for analog signal analysis required for real-time system response, are also provided. A Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) is also provided, enabling advanced touch detection, averaging, filtering, oversampling, and threshold comparison.



On-chip CIPs are easily configured via the free software plug-in MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC), allowing engineers to graphically customize peripherals and functions to their application. Engineers can configure the PIC18 K83 microcontroller with just a few clicks using the MCC tool. System designers can save time by easily configuring hardware-based peripherals instead of writing and proving entire software routines.

The PIC18 K83 microcontroller family is ideal for CAN bus applications in the medical, industrial, and automotive markets, including motorized operating tables, asset tracking, ultrasound equipment, automated conveyors, and automotive accessories.
