Large-memory 16-bit MCUs

Tuesday, 14 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Microchip Technology Australia


Microchip has announced nine mode members of the PIC24F 16-bit microcontroller family that have 2.6 µA standby current, up to 256 KB flash and 16 KB RAM in these 16-bit microcontrollers.

It is claimed to be the first 16-bit MCU family with an integrated charge time measurement unit peripheral, that, along with the mTouch sensing solution software development kit, enables designers to add a capacitive-touch user interface without any external components.

When combined with the company’s free graphics software library, engineers have access to a complete user interface.

For I/O flexibility in advanced applications, the family allows the use of all onboard peripherals, by enabling designers to map them to the pin they desire through the ‘peripheral pin select’ pin-mapping function.

The enhanced peripherals of the PIC24FJ256GA1 family provide up to four UARTs, three SPI ports and three I2C ports to expand control capabilities and eliminate the space and cost of support chips.
