Microchip Technology announced the first six members of the PIC16F193X family of microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring Microchip’s enhanced Mid-range 8-bit core—the PIC16F1934, PIC16LF1934, PIC16F1936, PIC16LF1936, PIC16F1937 and PIC16LF1937.

Features of the PIC16F193X family include flash program memory up to 14kbyte,  data RAM up to 512byte, 256byte data EEPROM, 96 segment LCD drive and 32MHz internal oscillator.

NanoWatt XLP technology on the “LF” versions, resulting in sleep currents of 90 nA, Watchdog Timer (WDT) current of 500 nA, and low-power 32 kHz Timer1 oscillator current of 600 nA, all at 1.8V.

There is also a peripheral for capacitive touch sensing 16 channels, with support for up to 64 buttons.
