PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF Übersicht

The Microchip PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF is a 32-bit MIPS microcontroller with 256KB Flash and 32KB SRAM, running up to 50 MHz (83 DMIPS) on the MIPS32 M4K core, in a 100-pin TQFP package. The device integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed OTG controller, four SPI/I2S modules, two I2C modules, and a 10-bit ADC with up to 48 channels and 1 Msps conversion rate, plus a Parallel Master Port (PMP) for graphics interfaces.

A 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip processor that integrates a CPU core, Flash program memory, SRAM data memory, and a rich set of peripherals (ADC, timers, communication controllers) into one package. Within the broader taxonomy, PIC32MX parts sit in the microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor hierarchy, and they target applications that need more performance and memory than 8/16-bit MCUs while retaining easy C-language development with the MPLAB X IDE and Harmony framework. The PIC32MX250 series specifically targets cost-sensitive embedded control and USB-connected designs.

Key differentiating features of this part include the on-chip Full-Speed USB 2.0 OTG controller (rare in 50 MHz class MCUs), Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) that remaps digital peripherals to any I/O pin for layout flexibility, and CTMU (Charge Time Measurement Unit) for capacitive touch and time-of-flight measurements. The device offers 78 I/O pins, five 16-bit timers, and a real-time clock/calendar with separate 32 kHz oscillator input. The integrated PMP module drives graphical LCDs directly, eliminating external display controllers in many designs.

Architecturally, the PIC32MX250 uses a Harvard-style M4K core with separate instruction and data paths, single-cycle hardware multiply, and a zero-overhead hardware loop counter. The instruction set is MIPS32-compatible, supported by MPLAB XC32 compiler and Harmony middleware. The device operates from 2.3V to 3.6V with five power modes (Run, Idle, Sleep, Deep Sleep, and VBAT) for battery-friendly designs. Industrial temperature grade (-40C to +85C) is suffix-coded by the "/I" designator.

Typical applications include USB peripherals (HID, CDC, MSD), graphical HMI panels using PMP-driven LCDs, capacitive touch human-machine interfaces (CTMU-based), industrial sensor hubs with USB diagnostics, low-cost dataloggers, and consumer audio with I2S codecs. The 256KB Flash accommodates USB stacks (HID + CDC + MSD) plus application code. The PMP + I2S + USB combination makes this device a strong fit for low-cost multimedia HMI designs.

USB HID Peripheral Device

The PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF's integrated USB 2.0 Full-Speed OTG controller and 256KB Flash make it ideal for USB HID peripherals (keyboards, mice, custom input devices, barcode scanners). The on-chip OTG controller handles enumeration, endpoint management, and SOF timing in hardware, freeing the MIPS M4K core for application logic. The 256KB Flash accommodates the Microchip USB HID stack (MLA or Harmony), while 32KB SRAM supports HID report buffers and protocol state. Engineers gain a single-chip USB solution with no external PHY, reducing BOM cost and PCB area versus discrete USB interface MCUs.

📺

Graphical LCD HMI Panel

The Parallel Master Port (PMP) on the PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF drives graphical LCDs directly with dual read/write buffers, eliminating external display controllers. Combined with up to 78 I/O pins via Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) and four SPI/I2S modules, the MCU can drive a TFT panel while simultaneously reading touch controllers, scanning keypads, and playing I2S audio. The 50 MHz core pumps pixel data at typical 320x240x16bpp refresh rates. The CTMU handles touch-screen resistive sensing without extra components.

🧩

Capacitive Touch Interface

The PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF's on-chip CTMU (Charge Time Measurement Unit) enables robust capacitive touch sensing for buttons, sliders, and proximity detection without dedicated touch ICs. The CTMU charges a capacitive sense pad with a known current and measures discharge time via the ADC, achieving sub-10 pF resolution. Combined with the 1 Msps 10-bit ADC and 78 I/O pins, the MCU can manage 20+ touch electrodes while running UI logic on the 50 MHz M4K core.

🏭

Industrial Sensor Hub with USB Diagnostics

The PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF integrates industrial-grade ADC (1 Msps, 10-bit, 48 channels), USB diagnostics port, and RS-232/485 UARTs into a single chip for factory-floor sensor aggregation. The 4-wire UART set supports Modbus RTU master/slave on RS-485 buses while USB exposes a CDC virtual COM port for configuration and data log download. The -40C to +85C industrial temperature grade and 2.3-3.6V supply handle typical 24V-sensor-bus-derived rails via local regulation.

🎧

USB Audio Device (USB-to-I2S Bridge)

With its four SPI/I2S modules and USB Full-Speed controller, the PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF can implement a USB-to-I2S audio bridge for headphone DACs, USB speakers, and USB microphones. The 50 MHz core handles USB isochronous audio packets at 48 kHz / 24-bit while feeding I2S data to an external DAC with sub-millisecond latency. The 256KB Flash stores USB Audio Class 1.0 / 2.0 firmware and a small DSP pre-processing layer.

📱

Portable Data Logger

The PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF's five low-power modes (Run, Idle, Sleep, Deep Sleep, VBAT), 32KB SRAM, and 256KB Flash make it a fit for battery-powered data loggers that periodically wake, sample sensors, and store to external SPI Flash or SD cards via the four SPI/I2S modules. Real-Time Clock/Calendar with separate 32 kHz oscillator input enables accurate timestamping. USB OTG allows easy data offload to a PC without removing the storage card.

For designs without USB, step down to the PIC32MX150F256L-I/PF (pin-compatible) and save ~$0.50. For designs needing >256KB Flash or >32KB SRAM without USB, choose the PIC32MX170F512L-I/PF (512KB Flash, 64KB SRAM, same 100-TQFP). For higher temperature environments (-40 to +105 C), specify the PIC32MX250F256L-V/PF (V-suffix). For CAN bus connectivity, migrate to the PIC32MX270F256L-I/PF. Migration between these same-package parts typically requires only firmware changes plus peripheral remapping via PPS - the PCB footprint and power pins stay identical.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • On-chip USB 2.0 Full-Speed OTG controller with no external PHY required (vs. PIC32MX150F256L-I/PF)
  • Parallel Master Port (PMP) with dual read/write buffers for direct LCD driving (vs. PIC32MX170F512L-I/PF)
  • Integrated CTMU for capacitive touch sensing without dedicated touch IC (vs. STM32F103C8T6)

Designhinweise

The PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF requires careful power decoupling: place a 100 nF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to each VDD/AVDD pin pair, plus a single 10 uF bulk capacitor on each power rail. The VUSB3V3 pin must be tied to the same 3.3V supply as VDD, with its own 100 nF bypass capacitor, since USB transceiver signalling is sensitive to supply noise above 50 mV peak-to-peak.

Route the 50 MHz system clock traces with controlled impedance (50 ohm characteristic impedance for point-to-point) and keep them under 25 mm length. The 48 MHz USB clock source (crystal or external oscillator) must be routed away from switching nodes and have a grounded guard trace on both sides to avoid coupling into USB signalling. Place the USB D+/D- traces as a 90-ohm differential pair with matched lengths to within 150 mil.

The Configuration Words (DEVCFG0/1/2/3) must be set correctly before code execution: enable JTAG disabled for production (or leave enabled for debug), set the primary oscillator mode (HS, XT, EC), enable or disable the secondary 32 kHz oscillator for RTCC, and configure the watchdog timer. Forgetting to configure the watchdog or leaving it in default-on state will cause unexpected resets. Also note that Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) mappings must be unlocked via PPSLOCK before each configuration write.

At 50 MHz, the PIC32MX250F256L-I/PF draws approximately 20-25 mA typical, with peak currents up to 35 mA during USB packet transmission. The 100-pin TQFP package has thermal resistance theta_JA of approximately 35 C/W (4-layer PCB with ground plane). The junction temperature stays well within the 125 C max at industrial temperatures, but a continuous copper pour under the exposed pad region (TQFP-100 has no exposed pad - use a 1 square inch ground pour on the top layer instead) further reduces thermal resistance.
