PIC18F46Q83-E/PT 8-Bit Microcontroller Microchip Technology

The PIC18-Q83 family enhances the 8-bit MCU lineup by integrating a wide range of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) alongside Controller Area Network (CAN) capabilities. These cost-effective MCUs are available in configurations with up to 48 pins and 128 KB of flash memory, featuring time-saving CIPs. The family also introduces innovative features and peripherals, such as the customizable Universal Timer (UTMR) and context switching for the 12-bit ADC, which facilitates automated analog signal analysis for real-time responses. Moreover, it offers standard industry options like JTAG Boundary Scan and a 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) with memory scan on startup, enhancing system safety. System designers can significantly save time, as configuring a hardware-based peripheral is much simpler than developing and validating a complete software routine for task execution.
