New Microchip PIC® and AVR® MCUs increase system performance in closed-loop control applications

Microchip announces the introduction of new PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 families of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), featuring multiple intelligent Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that simplify development and enable a quick response time to system events.

The ATtiny817 Xplained Mini board is a low-cost development/evaluation board for the new ATtiny8xx family, a new generation of 8-bit tinyAVR MCUs that feature Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs). The board offers many extension options some of which are Arduino shield compatible, a user LED, a pushbutton and two QTouch tactile pads. It also has a mini embedded debugger (mEDBG) that allows you to program and debug the board from AS7.
