The PIC32MZ EF family features high core performance up to 250 MHz, an integrated Floating-Point Unit (FPU), a wide selection of peripherals and excellent connectivity options including Controller Area Network (CAN). The Extended temp portfolio is ideal for several critical automotive and industrial applications that require reliable performance and robustness at higher temperatures.

In addition, the industrial temperature portfolio (-40° to 85°C) has been selectively expanded to offer a higher-speed variant (250 MHz/795 CoreMark). The high-speed variant is ideal for applications like high-resolution audio that require slightly higher core performance to provide faster audio processing and streaming.

“Since its launch, the PIC32MZ EF series has shown excellent ramp in customer adoption,” said Rod Drake, vice president of Microchip’s MCU32 division.

“Releasing PIC32’s first extended temp portfolio and meeting AEC-Q100 Grade1 Qualification is a significant milestone in our product roadmap. The higher-speed variant will also provide the incremental performance boost required in process-intensive applications, and is an exciting advancement for this family.”
