16-bit Microcontrollers

The cost-effective, low-power PIC24F family of microcontrollers (MCUs) features devices with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology, 16 MHz performance and dual-partition memory with up to 1024 KB of Flash and a rich set of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs). With Flash memory densities ranging from 16 KB to 1 MB and packages ranging from 28–121 pins, the PIC24F family gives you a truly differentiated general-purpose MCU that is ideal for many space-constrained, low-power, cost-sensitive industrial, audio and consumer applications. The PIC24F portfolio also offers an upgrade in features and peripherals for applications that are pushing the boundaries of 8-bit MCU capabilities, making it the ideal migration device for former 8-bit MCU users.  

The PIC24F family of products provides scalability across a wide range of applications while providing easy migration options as all devices have the same instruction set, common pinouts, share peripherals and use the same tools, accelerating development and reducing design time. Use the guide below to choose the right PIC24F family for your application.

The PIC24F family offers truly differentiated general-purpose microcontrollers that are ideal for many space-constrained, low-power, cost-sensitive applications.

PIC24F families offer a range of hardware safety features for reliable operation. Select families are AEC Q100 Grade 1 qualified and support extended operating temperature of −40°C to 125°C with deterministic response for robust operation in industrial and automotive applications.

You can use our broad portfolio of PIC24F MCUs to design safety-critical household appliances that target IEC 60730 Class B compliance. Our PIC24F MCUs are IEC 60730 functional safety ready and can function as the main controller.

PIC24 MCUs, when combined with our ATECC608 CryptoAuthentication™ and TrustAnchor100 (TA100) CryptoAutomotive™ security ICs, provide robust security for your designs. PIC24F MCUs deliver low power consumption and an application-specific feature set for low-power security, sensor interfacing, real-time control and functional safety applications.

The security features in PIC24F MCUs, such as Flash OTP by ICSP™ Write Inhibit and CodeGuard™ Flash security, protect against remote digital attacks while the CryptoAuthentication and CryptoAutomotive ICs provide extra security with physical anti-tampering and side channel attack protections to block access to embedded system credentials. Some devices offer integrated True Random Number Generation (TRNG), Pseudorandom Number Generation (PRNG) and an AES-256 accelerator with dedicated key slots.

The MPLAB development ecosytem is a single tool chain supporting all PIC^® microcontrollers.
