16-bit Microcontroller (MCU)
Portfolio
Are costs, performance, low power and smaller packages
important considerations for your next design?
PIC24 MCUs offer the variety of peripherals, memory sizes
and packaging choices. Microchip offers two compatible
Flash-based 16-bit PIC24 MCU families. The 16 MIPS
PIC24F family is designed for low power applications.
The 40 MIPS PIC24H family MCUs are designed for high
performance applications. Both families have the same
instruction set, share basic peripherals, have common
pinouts and use the same tools for development. The PIC24
families are compatible with dsPIC DSCs for easy migration
when additional performance or DSP capability is required.
PIC24F: Lowest Power 16-bit MCUs
With 16 MIPS performance and an extensive peripheral set,
including USB OTG and capacitive touch sense interface,
the PIC24F MCUs are cost-effective for the most demanding
16-bit applications. Serial communication peripherals include
up to 4 UARTs, 3 SPI and 3 I
of nanoWatt XLP Technology, select PIC24F devices have
industry leading low power with sleep numbers as low as
20 nA and RTCC operation down to 500 nA.

PIC24H: Highest Performance 16-bit MCUs
The PIC24H offers 40 MIPS performance with a combination
of large memory and wide variety of package options. It also
includes large flash in smaller packages (5x5 mm). The
built-in peripherals include high performance 12-bit ADC and
general purpose 16-bit PWMs. Communication peripherals
include up to 2 CAN modules, 2 UARTs (with IrDA support),
2 SPI and 2 I
Access (DMA) provides better data handling capability
optimizing CPU throughput. ACQ100-qualified extended and
high-temperature options for automotive applications are
available.
Optimized C Compiler
Supporting the PIC24 MCU and dsPIC DSC families,
Microchip’s 16-bit architecture was designed to optimize C
language code size. The architecture was co-developed by
compiler writers who emphasized the need for an orthogonal
instruction set, many general-purpose registers, powerful
indirect with offset addressing and a software stack. Now
you can achieve leadership code size in applications, helping
your project team hit schedule and code size targets.
Reduced code size provides the opportunity to use a smaller
memory device, spend less time optimizing code size and
respond to those marketing requests for “just one more
feature.”
