Element14, the design community website set up by Farnell, has launched a resource centre for Microchip Technology's range of nanoWatt XLP microcontrollers.
"The new XLP Community within element14, which brings together all aspects of Microchip's XLP product offering, while enabling engineers to collaborate and discuss the benefits and applications of XLP for their designs." said Malcolm Campbell, Microchip's global channel sales director.
The nanoWatt XLP range are PIC microcontrollers with 20nA standby current, claimed to be the lowest of any microcontroller anywhere, and free C compilers.
Aimed at battery-powered applications with up to 20 years of operation from lithium primary cells and energy harvester-power, there are both 8bit and 16bit devices, all dubbed nanoWatt XLP.
"The ability for element14 to showcase technologies, such as Microchip's nanoWatt XLP technology, is making a difference to electronic design engineers around the world," said Joanne Volakakis, global marketing manager.
The element14 site was launched in June, and brings Web 2.0 to the global design engineering community, along with open access to more than 10,000 technical documents.
