RoHS Compliant
Microchip has begun converting from
tin-lead (SnPb)-plated product packaging
to lead (Pb)-free product packaging
across the entire portfolio of PIC®
microcontrollers, dsPIC® digital signal
controllers, serial EEPROMs, stand-alone
analog and other devices. This enables
our customers to achieve early compliance
with new regulations around the world
such as the European Union Restrictions
on Hazardous Substances in Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (RoHS) directive.

16-bit Microcontroller (MCU) Portfolio
Are cost or performance important considerations for your next
design? PIC24 MCUs offer the variety of peripherals, memory
sizes and packaging choices you have come to expect from our
8-bit products. Microchip offers two compatible Flash-based 16-
bit PIC24 MCU families. The 16 MIPS PIC24F family is designed
for cost-sensitive applications. The 40 MIPS PIC24H family
is 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.
Despite the similarities, the PIC24F and PIC24H were designed
by independent teams, one targeting lowest cost and the other
creating the highest performance 16-bit MCU in the industry.
The PIC24 families are highly compatible with dsPIC DSCs for
easy migration when additional performance or DSP capability is
required.
16-bit Digital Signal Controller (DSC)
Portfolio
Are you looking to add DSP capability to your application?
DSCs blend the features of both MCUs and DSPs into a
single chip solution enabling you to add DSP features to
your embedded application. Microchip offers two compatible
Flash-based 16-bit DSC families. The 30 MIPS dsPIC30F
family is designed for applications where 5V operation is
important, and the 40 MIPS dsPIC33F family is suited for
applications preferring 3.3V or need more on-chip memory.
Both DSC families and the PIC24 families have the same
base instruction set (DSCs add DSP instructions), share basic
peripherals, have common pinouts and use the same tools for
development.
The Capability You Need
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
off-set addressing and a software stack.
Now you can achieve leadership code
size in applications, helping your project
team to hit schedule and code size
targets. Reduced code size provides the
opportunity to use a smaller memory
device at a lower price, reduce time
spent optimizing and fine-tuning code
size to fit the memory space, and also
responding to those marketing requests
for “just one more feature.”

Powerful 16-bit CPU:
The PIC24 MCU and the dsPIC DSC
families execute most instructions in
one cycle. Interrupts are serviced quickly
and are deterministic. Bit manipulation
is native. Add latest generation features,
such as zero overhead looping, single-
cycle multiply and a barrel shifter, and
you have the most powerful 16-bit MCU
for your embedded control designs.
If your current need is lowest cost
rather than performance, the PIC24F
family reduces the available MIPS while
offering a very cost-effective solution
with these many attributes.
If you don’t have the time to become
immersed in DSP technology, you can
use one of the many libraries developed
by DSP experts. Or you can use the
available graphical tools to develop
digital filters. For DSP experts, Microchip
includes many attributes that are typical
of true DSPs in this class: dual 40-bit
accumulators, single cycle 16x16 MAC,
dual operand fetches, saturation and
rounding modes, and zero overhead
looping. This is not simply a MCU with a
MAC attached as an after thought.
Migration Options:
Once you have designed our 16-bit products
into your application, future designs are
simplified. You can select from a broad range
of memory, pin count, peripheral, performance
and price options without changing architecture
or development tools. The pinout, software
and tool compatibility helps make stepping to
different performance or memory points very
straightforward. This is also beneficial if you
design in an environment of rapidly evolving
requirements.
Flexible Flash:
All of Microchip’s 16-bit products employ
flexible and secure Flash memory. You
can use the Flash memory to store
programs or data tables. Additionally,
all devices can self-program their own
Flash memory in a finished product. The
PIC24H and dsPIC DSC families offer
advanced security features that enable
you to secure your base code and allow
OEMs to “customize” the application or
alternatively work with encrypted data.
Considering a 32-bit MCU?
Has your current MCU run out of steam?
Microchip’s performance-oriented 16-bit
solutions can significantly outperform low cost
32-bit controllers for many MCU applications.
Why abandon 16-bit deterministic performance,
native bit manipulation, fast fixed-latency
interrupts and low cost tools to gain inferior
32-bit performance? Many 32-bit customers
have reverted to Microchip’s 16-bit products
after discovering performance issues during
the course of their design.
Looking to Add DSP?
If you are one of the many MCU
users looking to add DSP features
to your embedded design, the dsPIC
DSCs make the process easy and
straightforward. The dsPIC DSC retains a
MCU look and feel from the architecture
to the tools you use for development.

Highly Cost-Effective PIC24F 16-bit MCUs
With 16 MIPS performance and an extensive peripheral set, the
PIC24F MCUs are a highly cost-effective solution for all but the
most demanding 16-bit applications. The PIC24F also offers a
new migration option for design engineers whose applications
may be outgrowing the performance offered by 8-bit MCUs and
need to stay cost competitive.
Versatile 5 Volt dsPIC30F DSCs
The 30 MIPS dsPIC30F family is developed for applications
that benefit from a wide operating voltage (2.5 to 5.5 volts),
extremely low standby current, integrated EEPROM, above-
average Flash endurance for those that prefer 5V operation for
system considerations. The dsPIC30F family includes robust
peripheral options including up to 2 CAN modules, motor control
peripherals and a Codec Interface which supports I²S and AC97
protocols.
Highest Performance PIC24H 16-bit MCUs
For more demanding applications, the PIC24H offers 40 MIPS
performance, more memory and additional peripherals. The
PIC24H family adds up to 2 CAN communication modules,
user selectable 10/12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter and
enhanced timer functions. Integrated Direct Memory Access
(DMA) between peripherals and dual-port RAM provides zero
overhead data transfers, optimizing CPU throughput.
High Performance, Cost Effective 3.3 Volt
dsPIC33F DSCs
The 40 MIPS dsPIC33F family is developed for high performance
embedded control applications. Compared to the dsPIC30F
family, the dsPIC33F family offers larger RAM and Flash memory
options, adds DMA and will be more cost effective in larger
memory configurations.
