Introduction

The PIC18-Q71 microcontroller family is available in 28/40/44/48-pin devices for high bandwidth mixed signal and sensor applications. This is an ideal solution for lighting, motor control and medical market segments. This analog-focused family features a 12-bit Differential ADC with Computation and Context Switching, two Operational Amplifiers, a 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and two 8-bit DAC modules with buffered outputs and internal connections to other peripherals, and two advanced high-speed Analog Comparators. This device family also features the Analog Peripheral Manager to manage analog peripherals for optimizing power consumption. The PIC18-Q71 microcontroller family also features the 8-bit Signal Routing Port module to interconnect digital peripherals without using external pins.
