PIC microcontrollers integrate LCD modules for diverse display apps

摘要

Chandler, Ariz. — Targeting applications with liquid-crystal displays, Microchip Technology Inc. has added eight new members, each with an integrated LCD module, to its 8-bit PIC microcontroller family. A series of 28-pin LCD MCU targets simple, cost-effective display applications requiring embedded control. Programmable 80-pin MCUs, meanwhile, are capable of driving 192 segments for touchscreen and segmented LCD displays. Applications include automotive dashboard displays, instrumentation and measurement, and appliances.
