MCUs integrate configurable logic block
Microchip’s PIC16F13145 MCUs enable the creation of hardware-based, custom combinational logic functions directly within the MCU. The integration of a configurable logic block (CLB) module in the microcontroller allows designers to optimize the speed and response time of embedded control systems. It also helps eliminate the need for external logic components.
CLB operation is not dependent on CPU clock speed. The CLB module can be used to make logical decisions while the CPU is in sleep mode, reducing both power consumption and software reliance. According to Microchip, the CLB is easily configured using the GUI-based tool offered as part of MPLAB Code Configurator.
The PIC16F13145 family of CLB-enabled MCUs is intended for applications that use custom protocols, task sequencing, or I/O control to manage real-time control systems in industrial and automotive sectors. Devices include a 10-bit ADC with built-in computation, an 8-bit DAC, and comparators with a 50-ns response time.
Prices for the PIC16F131xx microcontrollers start at $0.47 each in lots of 10,000 units.
