PIC18 K42 Family Microcontrollers Microchip Technology PIC18F K42 Family Microcontrollers combine an extensive array of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), high-resolution analog, on-chip Direct Memory Access (DMA), and vectored interrupts for fast processing. The DMA controller enables data transfers between memory space and peripherals without CPU involvement, improving system performance and lowering power consumption. When interrupts are required, vectored interrupts provide faster response times with fixed latency to reduce software overhead. Code development is simplified with the user-friendly MPLAB Code Configurator. The PIC18F K42 family is ideally suited for an extensive range of applications and markets, including touch sensing, automotive, industrial control, Internet of Things (IoT), medical, and white goods.
