PIC24FJ256GB108T-I/PT - 16-bit USB OTG MCU, 256KB Flash, 80-TQFP | Microchip
The Microchip PIC24FJ256GB108T-I/PT is a 16-bit PIC24F microcontroller with USB On-The-Go (OTG) support, 256 KB Flash, 16 KB RAM, and a 32 MHz (16 MIPS) CPU core, packaged in an 80-pin TQFP (12x12 mm). It integrates a modified Harvard architecture with a 17-bit x 17-bit single-cycle hardware multiplier and a 16-bit hardware divider, plus a 16-bit working register array, delivering efficient C-compiler-friendly execution.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, non-volatile program memory (Flash), working memory (RAM), and a rich set of peripherals such as timers, communication controllers, ADC modules, and I/O. PIC24F devices sit between 8-bit PIC MCUs and 32-bit PIC32 parts in the Microchip portfolio, providing 16-bit data paths, deterministic interrupts, and low-power peripherals for cost-sensitive embedded designs. This particular part is a member of the PIC24FJ256GB1xx family, which adds a Full-Speed USB 2.0 OTG controller plus device/host/On-The-Go roles, making it a natural fit for USB peripherals and embedded hosts.
Key differentiating features include: USB 2.0 Full-Speed OTG (host + device + On-The-Go), 256 KB self-programmable Flash (85.5K x 24), 16 KB RAM, 8 MHz internal oscillator with 4x PLL providing 32 MHz operation, up to 16 MIPS throughput, multiple serial interfaces (up to 3x I2C, 3x SPI, 4x UART), and 23 independent timers. The industrial -40C to +85C operating range and 80-pin TQFP package support through-hole-style PCB assembly while exposing enough I/O for USB plus several communication buses simultaneously.
The PIC24FJ256GB1xx family uses a 16-bit RISC core with single-cycle execution for most instructions, a deterministic interrupt response, and peripheral pin select that decouples peripheral routing from physical pins. Internal RC and PLL features allow designers to drop external crystals in many applications, lowering BOM cost. The combination of USB OTG with substantial Flash and RAM enables firmware-only USB stacks without external memory.
Typical applications include USB peripherals (HID, CDC, mass storage, audio), USB-OTG embedded hosts (phone/tablet accessories, instrumentation), low-power industrial sensing nodes with USB diagnostic ports, consumer electronics with USB charging or data interfaces, and prototyping on the Explorer 16/32 development board using a Plug-In Module. The multiple UART/SPI/I2C instances also enable bridge/converter designs that route legacy buses to USB.
When laying out the PCB, route the D+/D- USB differential pair with 90 ohm differential impedance, place the VBUS pin protection components close to the connector, and provide a solid ground plane under the TQFP thermal pad region to assist thermal dissipation at industrial temperatures. Program Flash endurance is rated at typical values per the datasheet - if your firmware update pattern is aggressive, plan for wear.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not typically consolidated in the manufacturer datasheet, helping engineers shorten the part-selection and BOM-validation cycle for USB-capable 16-bit embedded designs.
