MCU w 128kMicrochip Technology is adding to its 80 MHz 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller (MCU) portfolio with three new families that provide up to 128 Kbytes of RAM and desirable connectivity options, including 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, two CAN2.0b controllers, USB Host, Device and OTG, and six UART, five I2C and four SPI ports. These new MCU families are

MCU Demonstrates Low-power ZigBee-based Transmissions Using 100 uJ  11/18/2009 9:00:00 AM
microcontroller demonstrates ZigBeeJennic’s JN5148 is able to perform multiple packet transmissions from 100 µJ of energy harvested from an electro-mechanical switch, showing that ZigBee communications are possible with low energy consumption. A single switch press is all that is required to enable the JN5148 to carry out

“Green Friendly” XO Operates On As Little As 0.8 V  11/17/2009 12:01:00 PM
08V XONDK announced the availability of an environmentally friendly ultralow power-driven crystal clock oscillator (XO), the NZ2520SF. This compact, 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.9 mm SMD XO operates on as little as 0.8 V, which is said to be 50 percent lower than comparable crystal clock oscillators. When coupled with a 40 percent reduction in current draw,
