Microchip announces an expansion of its 8-bit segmented LCD microcontroller (MCU) family with five devices combining low-cost LCD control with industry-leading low power consumption. The PIC16LF190X MCUs enable the implementation of LCD into cost-sensitive power-efficient designs, such as security tokens, smart cards, medical devices, home appliances, key fobs and other segmented LCD applications. Featuring eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology, with sleep currents down to 20 nA and a typical active current of 35µA/MHz, the MCUs extend battery life, while maintaining accurate timing with a RTC, and driving a segmented LCD. |
