PIC24FJ16GA002-E/SS
PIC24FJ16GA002-E/SS - 16-bit 16KB Flash MCU, 28-SSOP | Microchip
The Microchip PIC24FJ16GA002-E/SS is a 16-bit PIC24F microcontroller from the nanoWatt XLP eXtreme Low Power family, delivering up to 16 MIPS at 32 MHz while housed in a 28-pin SSOP package. The device integrates 16 KB of Flash program memory (5.5K x 24 words), 4 KB of RAM, and a rich peripheral set aimed at general-purpose embedded designs.
A 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a microprocessor core with a 16-bit data path, 16-bit registers, and a 16-bit ALU, sitting in the product hierarchy between 8-bit MCUs (e.g., PIC16, AVR) and 32-bit MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, PIC32). The PIC24F series specifically targets low-power cost-sensitive applications through nanoWatt XLP technology, using on-the-fly clock switching, deep sleep modes, and peripheral activity monitors to extend battery life. PIC24F devices run a modified Harvard architecture with single-cycle 17-bit x 17-bit hardware multiply and 32/16-bit hardware divide, enabling deterministic real-time control.
Key features include 16 MIPS performance at 32 MHz, 16 KB Flash, 4 KB RAM, a 10-bit ADC with up to 13 channels and 500 ksps conversion rate, multiple Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) modules, two UART, two SPI, and one I2C peripherals, five 16-bit timers, a real-time clock calendar (RTCC) with alarm, and a parallel master port for external memory expansion. The nanoWatt XLP technology provides sleep currents below 1 uA and a full-featured on-chip RTCC.
The MCU integrates a 2.5V/3.3V core, JTAG programming/debug interface, 5V tolerant I/O on most pins, and basic code-guard security. The Extended temperature grade (-E) supports -40C to +125C operation, making the part suitable for industrial and lighting control applications as referenced in Microchip's lighting application notes.
Typical applications include general-purpose embedded control, LED lighting systems, low-power sensor nodes, battery-powered instrumentation, automotive body and lighting subsystems, and human-machine interface (HMI) panels. The integrated RTCC and 13-channel 10-bit ADC make it well suited for HVAC, thermostat, and metering use cases.
When designing with this device, ensure the JTAG interface is accessible for in-circuit debugging, and provide adequate decoupling (100 nF + 10 uF) close to VDD/AVDD. The PIC24FJ family datasheet (DS39767) covers the entire sub-family, so always confirm the specific peripheral pinout for the 28-pin SSOP variant you are using.
