Leading 16-bit Performance and Features
16-bit Microcontroller (MCU)
Portfolio
Are costs, performance, low power and smaller packages
important considerations for your next design?
PIC24 MCUs offer a variety of peripherals, memory sizes
and packaging choices. Microchip offers two compatible
Flash-based 16-bit PIC24 MCU families. The 16 MIPS
PIC24F family is designed for low power applications.
The 40/70 MIPS PIC24H/E MCUs are 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. The PIC24
families are compatible with dsPIC DSCs for easy migration
when additional performance or DSP capability is required.
PIC24H/E: Highest Performance 16-bit MCUs
PIC24 devices offer 40/70 MIPS performance with a
combination of large memory and a wide variety of package
options. They also includes large Flash in smaller packages
(5x5 mm). The built-in peripherals include high performance
12-bit ADC and general purpose and motor control 16-bit
PWMs. Communication peripherals include up to 2 ECAN™
modules, 4 UARTs (with IrDA® support), 4 SPI, 2 I
2
C and
USB OTG. High performance 16 channel Direct Memory
Access (DMA) provides better data handling capability
optimizing CPU throughput. AEC-Q100-qualified extended
(125°C) and high-temperature (150°C) options for industrial
and automotive applications are available.
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 offset addressing and a software stack. Now
you can achieve leadership code size in applications, helping
your project team hit schedule and code size targets.
Reduced code size provides the opportunity to use a smaller
memory device, spend less time optimizing code size and
respond to those marketing requests for “just one more
feature.”
Relative Performance/MHz
PIC24F: Lowest Power 16-bit MCUs
With 16 MIPS performance and an extensive peripheral
set, including a graphics controller, USB OTG and capacitive
touch sense interface, the PIC24F MCUs are cost-effective
for the most demanding 16-bit applications. Serial
communication peripherals include up to 4 UARTs, 3 SPI
and 3 I
2
C™. With the introduction of XLP Technology, select
PIC24F devices have industry leading low power performance
with sleep numbers as low as 20 nA and RTCC operation
down to 400 nA.

The 40/70 MIPS dsPIC33 core is designed to execute and
control the high speed precision digital control loops and
digital audio and speech processing. The optimized motor
control and digital power conversion peripherals include
the highest performance ADC, PWMs, USB OTG and analog
comparators. A wide variety of memory and package options,
audio peripherals, communication peripherals, 15 channel

extremely low standby current, integrated EEPROM,
and for those that prefer 5V operation due to system
considerations.
