The supplier of microcontrollers and analog semiconductors-Microchip Technology Inc. has released a PIC16F946 PIC® microcontroller with a built-in liquid crystal display (LCD) module. In addition to the built-in LCD module, the new device also has lower power consumption and abundant peripherals, which can effectively reduce the overall system cost of many consumer applications. The PIC16F946 device enriches the Microchip LCD PIC microcontroller series, allowing users to have more choices in terms of pin numbers and performance levels to meet different needs for LCD segment numbers The PIC16F946 LCD PIC microcontroller adopts nanowatt technology, which meets the industry's requirements for low-power design, and can drive LCD displays in standby mode. In addition, the new MCU integrates a variety of peripherals, including high-endurance data EEPROM, stable built-in oscillator, a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter, serial communication peripherals, and real-time clock that can achieve low power consumption. Steve Drehobl, vice president of Microchip Security, Microcontrollers and Technology Development, said: "The advent of PIC16F946 enables Microchip's LCD PIC microcontroller series to continue to provide the industry's most abundant and cost-effective programmable solutions on the same platform. Its highly integrated Features can help designers more easily develop low-cost, high-performance compact solutions." The new PIC16F946 integrated LCD module can be widely used in: automobiles (dashboard display), measuring instruments (medical instruments/monitors, meter readers, handheld terminals or remote reading devices), household appliances (stoves/ovens/ Microwave oven display and controller), industrial field (payment system, water meter/gas meter/electric meter/heat meter and fuel pump), consumer (universal remote control, programmable thermostat or controller, irrigation system controller, household Security system and sports equipment) and communication equipment (mobile phone display), etc. Other important features of the PIC16F946 microcontroller include: 14 KB flash program memory, up to 336 bytes of RAM and 256 bytes of digital EEPROM Under-voltage reset function (BOR), enhanced watchdog timer (WDT), programmable low-voltage detection function Power (PLVD) and nanowatt power management mode, enabling the device to work reliably in low power mode Enhanced LCD module with 4 multi-channel common terminals and up to 42 segment drivers A highly stable 8 MHz built-in oscillator Core performance up to 5 MIPS 10-bit analog-to-digital converter with up to 8 signal channels Two analog comparators Support SPI™, I2C™ and AUSART communication protocol 3 timers and 2 capture/compare/PWM modules 48V Battery Pack ,Switch Battery Pack,Portable Lithium Battery Pack,48V Lithium Ion Battery Pack Zhejiang Casnovo Materials Co., Ltd. , https://www.casnovo-new-energy.com
