16-bit MCU with hardware crypto and industrial temperature range
What the 32 MHz core and memory mean for your control loop
At 32 MHz, this 16-bit PIC core delivers throughput for real-time control loops. The 64 KB Flash and 8 KB RAM support a moderate RTOS plus application code. The onboard AES engine offloads encryption/decryption from the CPU, which matters for secure IoT node firmware updates or encrypted fieldbus communication. The DMA controller moves data between peripherals and memory without core intervention, freeing cycles for the main control algorithm.
Peripheral set and connectivity for mixed-signal designs
The MCU includes a 13-channel ADC with 10-bit or 12-bit resolution, covering multiple analog inputs for sensor conditioning. The PMP/PSP parallel port can interface to external memory or a display controller. Brown-out detect, power-on reset, and a windowed watchdog timer are integrated, reducing external supervisory IC requirements in cost-sensitive industrial PCBs.
The ROHS3 compliance is verified per the manufacturer's declaration.
