Microcontroller Closes the Graphics Gap First MCU to Combine 2D Graphics Processing Unit and DDR2 Memory

The industry’s first MCU to combine a 2D Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and integrated DDR2 memory delivers groundbreaking graphics with increased colour resolution and display sizes. The three-layer graphics controller in the 32-bit PIC32MZ DA family drives 24-bit colour Super Extended Graphics Array (SXGA) displays up to 12 inches, whilst expansive storage is provided by up to 32 MB of on-chip DRAM or 128 MB externally addressable DRAM. The PIC32MZ DA MCUs bridge the graphics performance gap to create complex graphics with easy-to-use MPLAB® X IDE and MPLAB Harmony development tools and software from Microchip.
