PRODUCT SHOWCASE
Microchip’s first PIC32C microcontroller
If your design has outgrown the capabilities of one of the 8- or 16-bit micros,
the PIC32C family (siliconchip.com.
au/link/ab78) delivers easy scalability, enhanced performance and larger
memory options while still being part
of the MPLAB development ecosystem.
The first of the PIC32C families,
the PIC32CM MC, combines the performance and energy efficiency of an
Arm Cortex-M0+ based micro with an
optimised architecture and powerful
peripherals. These 5V micros are ideal
for motor/industrial control, home appliances, and other 5V applications.
Key features include:
• CPU clock speed up to 48MHz.
• Up to 128KB embedded flash
memory and 16KB of SRAM.
• Operating voltage of 2.7-5.5V,
which ensures the best possible
SNR and noise immunity, EMC,
ESD and latch up.
• Dual 12-bit simultaneous sampling ADCs.
• Positional decoder for motor
control.
• Timer/counter for control peripheral provides dedicated timers for
industrial and motor control.
• Four serial communication modules that can be configured to
act as a USART, UART, SPI, I2C,
RS485 or LIN bus interface.
• 12-channel direct memory access
controller with CRC module.
• Functional pin compatibility with
current SAM C20 devices in 32and 48-pin packages.

New analog products from Maxim provide double the battery life
The MAX41400 (https://bit.ly/
MAX41400 Product) instrumentation amplifier enhances sensor system accuracy by four times and extends battery life by 55% compared
to the closest competitive offering.
The MAX41400 provides low offset
of 25µV, low noise and programmable gain with only 65µA current consumption.
The MAX40108 (https://bit.ly/
MAX40108 Product) is the lowestvoltage precision opamp in its class,
operating with supplies as low as 0.9V.
The combination of low operational supply voltage, lower power consumption and 25.5µA quiescent current allows engineers to double sensor
battery life.
The MAX31343 (https://bit.ly/
MAX31343 Product) I2C RTC with
integrated MEMS oscillator provides
timekeeping accuracy of ±5ppm, substantially better than the closest competitor, plus robust protection afforded
by a MEMS resonator.
With its integrated resonator, the
MAX31343 eliminates crystal me-
chanical failures and enables the
smallest WLP compared to any other
competitor in the market.
All these products are offered with
multiple and small form factor package choices.

New APEM Q25 & Q30 series LED indicators
The Q25 and Q30 series LED indicators use a PCB with 6 SMT chips and
built-in failsafe protection.
A molded Fresnel lens scatters the
LED light to give that all-round illumination making long distance and
daylight viewing crystal clear.
This series is suitable for material handling or off-highway vehicles
where reverse and over voltage protection is required. It also comes with low
heat generation suitable for mounting
into heat sensitive plastics. The chamsiliconchip.com.au
gered bezel is made from 316L marine
grade stainless steel and is IP67 and
IP69K front panel sealed.
Control Devices is the official APEM
distributor for Australia and New Zealand.
