Microchip has released eight new members of its PIC24F 16-bit microcontroller family, with up to 64 KB of Flash program memory and up to 8 KB of RAM, in smaller, lower cost, 28- and 44-pin packages including a tiny 6 x 6 mm 28-pin QFN package option.
The 28 and 44-pin PIC24FJ64GA004 family contains a similar peripheral set to the 100-pin PIC24FJ128GA family. 'Peripheral Pin Select' pin-mapping allows designers to use the available pins exactly as they like. For many applications, this can allow the use of a smaller, more cost-effective microcontroller. The wide range of on-board peripherals includes two independent channels each of I²C, UART and SPI communications.
The new devices support simple migration from a 16 MIPS PIC24F microcontroller all the way up to a 40 MIPS dsPIC33 digital signal controller.
The PIC24FJ64GA004 family is supported by the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment - including the enhanced Visual Device Initialiser, which graphically assists the Peripheral Pin Select feature, generating the required initialisation code. For emulation and debugging, Microchip's MPLAB REAL ICE and MPLAB ICD 2 can be used. In addition, a new version of the Explorer 16 development board is available, fitted with a 44-pin PIC24FJ64GA004.
