Microchip PIC18F87J11 Microcontrollers

Posted by Ken Cheung in Microcontrollers on Thursday, July 19, 2007

The Microchip PIC18F87J11 is a general-purpose, high-performance 8-bit microcontroller family. The PIC18F87J11 offers up to 20% greater performance with 12 MIPS (48 MHz), enhanced peripherals, and lower sleep power consumption. The PIC18F87J11 provides a wide range of program memory and peripherals, ranging from most cost effective to feature rich. In addition, the PIC18F87J11 general-purpose family includes nanoWatt Technology for low power consumption in sleep mode, as low as 100 nA, which is ideal for battery-powered applications. Finally, the PIC18F87J11 is the first 8-bit microcontroller to offer the Parallel Master Port for connection to external memory and displays.

Microchip PIC18F87J11 MicrocontrollersKey Features

  • 8 to 128 Kbytes of self-programmable Flash in 64- and 80-pin TQFP packages, with up to 10k erase-write cycles
  • First 8-bit MCU with Parallel Master Port for flexible connection to external memory and displays
  • Multiple communication channels including up to 2 SPI/I2C(TM), 2 UART and 5 PWM modules
  • Up to 12 MIPS at 3V
  • 5V Tolerant digital I/O
  • 8 MHz Internal Oscillator and 4x PLL for up to 32 MHz operation, without an external clock source
  • Low-power sleep mode

To reduce time-to-market, all 12 members of the PIC18F87J11 microcontroller family are supported by Microchip’s standard, high-performance development systems, including: the free MPLAB(R) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with Visual Device Initializer, MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger, and the $59.99 PICDEM(TM) HPC Explorer Board (part #DM183022)—via separate $25 plug-in modules. A PICDEM HPC Explorer plug-in module for the PIC18F87J11 is expected to be available in March (part #MA180020).

The 12-member PIC18F87J11 family is offered in 64- or 80-pin TQFP package options, and all are available nowfor $2.27 each in 10,000 unit quantities.
