PIC32CM MC Family

Arm® Cortex® M0+ Based Low-Cost 5V MCUs for Appliances and Industrial Control

PIC32CM MC microcontrollers (MCUs) are 32-bit Arm® Cortex® M0+ based 5V devices that are ideal for motor control, home appliances, industrial control and other 5V applications. This 5V device family is a lower-cost extension of our current SAM C2x portfolio of MCUs. To accelerate your design cycle, we offer a complete ecosystem of development resources that includes evaluation boards and easy-to-use software with ready-to-use application examples developed in MPLAB® Harmony embedded software framework.

Key Features

  • CPU clock speed up to 48 MHz
  • Up to 128 KB embedded Flash and 16 KB SRAM
  • Operating voltage of 2.7V–5.5V ensures best possible signal-to-noise ratio and robustness in term of noise immunity, EMC, ESD and latch up
  • Dual 12-bit simultaneous sampling Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)
  • Positional Decoder (PDEC) for motor control
  • Timer/Counter for Control (TCC) peripheral provides dedicated timers for industrial and motor control
  • Flexible peripherals including four Serial Communication Modules (SERCOMs) that can be configured to act as an USART, UART, SPI, I2C, RS485 or LIN bus interface
  • 12-channel Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller with Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) module
  • Functional pin compatibility with current SAM C20 devices in 32- and 48-pin packages

Sensorless Single-Motor Drive with PIC32CM MC MCUs

PIC32CM MC MCUs balance memory and features for an optimized single motor control solution. Because these devices can run directly from 5V, they reduce the number of voltage supplies required in an application, making them perfect for portable battery-powered motor applications such as tools, vacuums, small robotics and toys that use multiple LiPO batteries.

The dual sample and hold ADCs make easy work of complex timing requirements for reconstructing back EMF signals, and the high-speed comparators ensure cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting for increased application safety and robustness. A Sigma-Delta type ADC is also available, which can be used for V/I tracking, high-accuracy temperature sensing and general metrology functions.
