8-bit MCU handles safety critical applications

The PIC12F1612 and PIC16F1613 microcontrollers feature core independent peripherals (CIP), which off load timing-critical and core-intensive tasks from the CPU. They also have a windowed watchdog timer to monitor proper software operation and CRC with memory scan to detect memory errors.

The MCUs have two PWM channels, a high-res timer, and four or eight 10-bit A/D converters with 1.7 LSB INL (max). They come in 8- or 14-pin packages, including 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm DFN and UDFN packages, and with industrial or extended temperature operation. From $0.64 ea/100.
