PIC32 Low Cost Controllerless Graphics: 32-bit Performance,
Flexibility, Integration

Microchip's PIC32 line of 32-bit microcontrollers offers 80 MIPS and high-performance DMA to render graphics directly to displays. This enables PIC32 devices to drive a display without an external graphics controller.

  • Uses < 5 MIPS and DMA to render graphics
    • Direct interfaces to STN, TFT displays
  • Integrated 128 KB frame buffer
    • Supports QVGA 8 bpp with internal frame buffer
    • Supports WQVGA 16 bpp with external frame buffer using PMP
      (Parallel Master Port)
  • Works with any PIC32 80 MIPS 32-bit microcontroller

With devices offering up to 512 KB Flash and 128 KB RAM, developers have plenty of space for application code, communications stacks and date buffering. In addition to the graphics capabilities, PIC32 MCUs also have integrated peripherals to USB, CAN, Ethernet and capacitive touch sensing.
