Microchip Consultants Programme
Much of our design work has required us to use PICS
and embedded control systems. We
have extensive compiler and emulation hardware, this includes: Arizona
Microchip (PIC), Texas Instruments (DSP), Analogue Devices DSP's (21XX),
Hitachi (SH7032). "In system programmable" parts both in digital
arrays (lattice PDS ISP 10xx devices) and also in PIC devices are used, both of which
reduce production costs and accelerate development times. Our wide range of designs
have included the smallest 8 pin micro, MCU, embedded controllers, serial EEPROMS
(E2PROMS), right up to multi-processor management systems.
We are part of the
consultants' programme for Arizona
Microchip and fully support the PIC range
of microcontrollers, which offer compatibility over a large performance range and are very
inexpensive.
Case study
In this application (shown below) a PIC 16c65 is used
as an embedded controller to manage all the display, keyboard and power functions of this
precision monitoring instrument whilst still drawing only a tiny amount of power (allowing
many hours of use from a single PP3 size battery). All this functionality and 32 bit
floating point arithmetic fits comfortably within the 4K code space of the PIC micro.
