Microchip Technology introduces the AVR DU microcontroller family with USB connectivity, security features, and up to 15W power delivery.
Microchip Technology has unveiled the AVR DU family of microcontrollers (MCUs) with USB connectivity, enhanced security features, and up to 15W power delivery from the USB interface. The MCUs support USB-C charging at 3A at 5V, making them suitable for devices like portable power banks and rechargeable toys. Security features include Microchip's Program and Debug Interface Disable (PDID) and Read-While-Write (RWW) Flash for secure firmware updates. The AVR DU family also reduces design and Bill of Material (BOM) costs through USB clock recovery and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), catering to a wide range of embedded designs from wearables to industrial applications.
