8-bit MCUs PIC18-Q41 Product Family Microcontrollers for Improved Sensor Interface Designs Summary The PIC18-Q41 family of Microcontrollers (MCUs) combines sophis- ticated analog peripherals and powerful Core Independent Peripher- als (CIPs) for small, high-performance data acquisition and sensor interfacing applications. Available in small 14- and 20-pin packages, these MCUs are equipped with an Operational Amplifier (OPA), a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADCC), and 8-bit Digital- to-Analog Converters (DACs) providing a high level of analog integration for amplification, filtering and signal conditioning. With our comprehen - sive development tool suite, you can easily configure peripherals and functions, generate application code and simulate analog circuits prior to hardware prototyping reducing your development time and time to market. PIC18-Q41 MCUs are well suited for IoT edge nodes, medical, wearables, LED lighting, home automation, automotive and industrial process control. If a cost-effective MCU with comparable performance is needed, PIC18-Q40 MCUs are a good option. Intelligent Sensing Capabilities Customizable Hardware The PIC18-Q41 family integrates intelligent analog peripherals The need for external components is further reduced with for amplification, filtering and signal conditioning used in sens - the Configurable Logic Cell (CLC). The CLC peripheral lets ing and measurement applications. They include an OPA, Zero you specify combinations of signals as inputs to a logic Cross Detect (ZCD), comparators, two 8-bit DACs and a 12- function and internally connects peripherals such as timers, bit ADC with Computation that automates Capacitive Voltage Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs), serial ports and I/O pins Divider (CVD) techniques for implementing advanced touch for hardware customization with unprecedented ease. The sensing, averaging, filtering, oversampling and automatic CLC enables a higher level of integration without any external threshold comparison. These features significantly reduce the components, thus reducing PCB footprint and system costs. component count in the analog signal chain. Faster Time to Market Improved System Response To reduce your time to market, the PIC18-Q41 family has The CIPs enable the MCU to accomplish tasks in hardware been designed to integrate with MPLAB Code Configurator while freeing up the CPU to accomplish other complex tasks (MCC) and MPLAB Mindi Analog Simulator for a seamless or go to sleep to save power.
