More Performance, Less Risk Short 5 cycle interrupt latencyToday’s embedded designers look for high-performancemicrocontrollers with integrated functions and peripheralsto help reduce their total system cost. Microchip’s 8-bitPIC microcontrollers have met this need with featuressuch as pin and code compatibility, a common developmenttool environment and an advanced core. But increasingapplication demands and complexity have created a needfor additional choices. Fast and easy bit manipulation – single cycleHaving options is critical to a product’s success. And oneof the most important choices the design engineer makesis the appropriate microcontroller selection. Microchip’sPIC24 16-bit microcontrollers offer new levels of choicein performance, memory, peripherals and packaging.Microchip’s advanced technology and migration strategydeliver the most cost-effective system solution forembedded designers.Rich Portfolio for Added FlexibilityNew PIC24 16-bit Architecture 8-16 Kbytes of RAMThe PIC24 16-bit architecture was designed to optimizeC language code size. Embedded designers using theMPLAB C30 C compiler can achieve leadership code sizein applications, helping project teams hit schedule and codesize targets. Reduced code size provides the opportunity touse a smaller memory device at a lower price, reduce timespent optimizing and fine-tuning code size to fit the memoryspace, and also respond to those marketing requests for“just one more feature.” Family expansion includes larger RAM and additionalperipheralsDesign engineers whose applications now require a 16-bitmicrocontroller can expect to find all the features they valuewith the 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. The PIC24 architecturefeatures include: Single cycle hardware multiply 32/16 and 16/16 divide instructions Deterministic instruction execution Same familiar development tools and MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE)The PIC24 16-bit microcontroller family debuts with 22general-purpose devices divided between two series, thePIC24F and PIC24H. PIC24F: 16 MIPS, lowest costPIC24H: 40 MIPS, highest performance 64-256 Kbytes of Flash program memoryThese general-purpose PIC24 microcontrollers includeseveral features that maximize application flexibility andreliability, and minimize cost through elimination of externalcomponents.System Robustness and Management Features Flexible high-speed and low-power integratedoscillators with PLL eliminates need for externalcrystal Power-on Reset and Fail-safe clock monitor Single cycle instruction execution nanoWatt Technology Power Management Full-speed operation from Flash memory On-chip Low-dropout Voltage Regulator (LDO) Simplified and highly flexible interrupt structureHighly Cost-Effective PIC24F 16-bit MicrocontrollersRelative Code Size (in Bytes)16-bit h 16 MIPS performance and an extensive peripheralset, the PIC24F microcontrollers are a highly cost-effectivesolution for all but the most demanding 16-bit applications.The PIC24F also offers a new migration option for designengineers whose applications may be outgrowing theperformance offered by 8-bit microcontrollers, and needto stay cost competitive.Highest-Performance PIC24H 16-bit MicrocontrollersFor more demanding applications, the PIC24H offers40 MIPS performance, more memory and additionalperipherals. The PIC24H family adds up to 2 CANcommunication modules, user selectable 10/12-bitAnalog-to-Digital (A/D) converter and enhanced timerfunctions. And integrated Direct Memory Access (DMA)between peripherals and dual-port RAM provides zerooverhead data transfers, optimizing CPU throughput.Microchip AMPLAB C30V 1.20BCDE(Leading Competitors)F

Seamless Migration Reduces Development RiskThe two pin-and-code compatible PIC24 seriesdeliver the options needed to hit the performance,cost and schedule goals demanded by any project.The PIC24F and PIC24H series are completelysoftware and MPLAB IDE compatible, providing easymigration as project requirements change. This givesdesign engineers the ability to add performance andfunctionality to applications without sacrificing theinitial investment and engineering resources.There’s also the option to easily step up to digitalsignal processing (DSP) capability with the fullycompatible 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controller(DSC) family for more advanced algorithms andsignal processing. Compatibility with dsPIC DSCsprovides engineers with a path to even greaterperformance coupled with DSP as applicationrequirements increase.“With their dsPIC DSCs and PIC24 MCUs, Microchip is the only companyon the planet with truly unified DSP and MCU product lines.”Will Strauss, president of Forward ConceptsPeripherals, Memory and AnalogCommunications, real-time control, waveformgeneration, analog interface and system monitoringare all integrated in the PIC24 Family, coupled witha wide range of memory options.MemoryUp to 256 KB self-programmable FlashUp to 16 KB RAMDMA to internal peripherals with 2 KB dual port RAMAdditional PIC24 key features include: Two ports each of UART, SPI and I C 2Parallel Master Port (PMP) interface to external data memory andperipherals Up to two CAN portsCommunicationsKey Features Real-Time Clock Calendar (RTCC)UARTAsynchronous channel supporting LIN, IrDA ,RS-232, RS-485 with 4-deep FIFO buffer A 16-channel, 500 ksps 10-bit A/D converter isfeatured in the PIC24FSPI High-speed synchronous channel including8-deep FIFO buffer A user selectable 500 ksps 12-bit A/D converteror 1.1 Msps 10-bit A/D converter in the PIC24HI2C Support Multi-Master/Slave mode with 7-bit/10-bit addressing JTAG boundary scan and Flash programmingCAN with buffer, filtersAutomotive/Industrial standard, includes 8 transitand 32 receive buffersTimers/ControlKey Features 8-channel DMA with 2 KB dual port RAMCascadable to 32-bit, up/down, with multiple16-bit timers, cascadableclock sources including a low-power 32 kHzto 32-bitoscillator, trigger for A/D conversion64-256 KB8-16 KBDMA16-bit TimersWatchdogA/D, 10-bit, 16 ch.Memory BusA/D, 10/12-bit, 16 ch.Peripheral Bus16/40 MIPS 16-bit Core16-bit ALURegister File16 x 1616 x 16MPYAddressGenerationJTAG & Emul.InterfaceBarrelShifterA/D, 10/12-bit, 16 ch.SPI (2)RTCCPMPCAN (1-2)PIC24F & PIC24HPIC24F OnlyOutput Compare (OC)Pulse Width Modulation(PWM)PIC24H OnlyThe highly configurable Input Capture,Output Compare and PWM modules areeasily configured with the Timer modules togenerate waveforms and monitor externaleventsWatchdog Timer (WDT)On-chip low-power RC oscillator, post-scaler forwide range of time-out valuesReal Time ClockCalendar (RTCC)Minimal software support required, multiple clocksource options and calibrationAnalogKey Features10/12-bit A/D converterUp to 32 channels on PIC24H10-bit A/D converterUp to 16 channels on PIC24FComparatorsWith on-chip programmable reference voltageGP I/OUART (2)I2C (2)InterruptControlInput Capture (IC)Integrated VoltageRegulator with Power-on Power-on Reset and Brown-out Reset provideReset and Brown-outstable system operationReset
