Microchip Consultant

LeBlanc Laboratories, Inc. is proud to be a Gold level Certified Microchip Consultant. We have created innovative and effective designs based on all PIC and ARM microcontrollers including the dsPIC33/30, ARM, PIC32, PIC24, PIC18, PIC16, and PIC12 families of Microchip microcontrollers.

Designs have utilized advanced peripherals such as USB, DMA, CLC, CLB, A/D and D/A converters, PPS, CRC, LCD, SPI, I2C, UART, Parallel, Power Supply and Motor Control PWM, Capture/Compare Modules, BOR, LVD, WDT, self-programmable FLASH, Timers, Analog, and much more.

We have implemented many functions such as fine speed control of small motors, PID loops, Complex PWM waveform generation, voltage, current, frequency, temperature measurement, sensor analog front ends, strain gauge conditioning, SPI/I2C interfaces, RS-232 communication, EEPROM storage of configuration and calibration data, Real Time Clocks, LCD and LED display drivers, serial DataFlash interfaces, opto-isolated I/O, audible alarms, pushbutton interfaces, rotary encoders, control logic, and much more.

Firmware has been developed using many C-Compilers supplemented with Assembly when appropriate. Operating systems range from bare-metal, RTOS’s such as FreeRTOS to custom developed cooperative multi-tasking kernels and state machines.
