Microchip has developed its first general-purpose Flash PIC microcontrollers with peripherals for more cost-effective control of fans or small motors The 14-pin PIC16F616/610 and the 8-pin PIC12F615/609 microcontrollers can substantially reduce component count and cost with specialised peripherals such as full-bridge pulsewidth modulation (PWM) with deadband control, timer gate control for pulsewidth measurement, a comparator with hysteresis for Hall-effect sensor interfaces, and an A/D convertor for temperature and other monitoring functions
