PIC32MX230F256BT-50I/SS - 50MHz 32-bit MCU 256KB Flash | Microchip
The Microchip PIC32MX230F256BT-50I/SS is a 32-bit MIPS M4K microcontroller with 256KB Flash, 16KB SRAM, USB 2.0 Full-Speed, and a 50 MHz core clock, housed in a 28-pin SSOP package. It is a member of the PIC32MX1XX/2XX 28/36/44-pin family, combining high-performance 32-bit computing with Microchip's peripheral integration including 10-bit ADC, Comparators, CTMU, and RTCC.
Background knowledge: a microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program memory (Flash), data memory (SRAM), and peripheral interfaces (ADC, timers, communication ports). 32-bit MCUs extend 8/16-bit MCUs with higher computational throughput, larger address spaces, and richer peripheral sets; they sit in the broader taxonomy of microcontrollers -> embedded processors -> semiconductor ICs. The PIC32 family from Microchip uses the MIPS M4K core, providing deterministic performance and a mature toolchain (MPLAB X IDE, XC32 compiler).
Key features: 50 MHz core / 83 DMIPS performance, 256 KB Flash program memory with ECC option, 16 KB SRAM data memory, USB 2.0 Full-Speed Device/Host/OTG, up to 21 available I/O pins, 10-bit 1 Msps ADC with up to 13 channels, three analog comparators, CTMU for touch and capacitive sensing, RTCC with calendar mode, and four 16-bit timers. The device supports 2.3V to 3.6V single-supply operation, industrial -40C to +85C temperature range, and is supplied in industrial-grade (-I) and Tape & Reel packaging.
Architecture: the MIPS32 M4K core implements the MIPS32 Release 2 instruction set with hardware multiply/divide and a 5-stage pipeline. The PIC32MX2XX integrates 256 KB single-cycle Flash with prefetch cache and 16 KB SRAM with separate bus paths, allowing simultaneous Flash fetch and SRAM access. Peripheral DMA maps directly to RAM, and the bus matrix supports concurrent CPU and DMA traffic without starving either master. The CTMU block provides a constant-current source used for capacitive touch, temperature sensing, and time-of-flight measurements.
Typical applications: USB HID peripherals (HID mice/keyboards, CDC virtual COM ports), capacitive touch key panels via CTMU, industrial sensor data acquisition with 10-bit ADC and RTCC timestamping, low-cost graphics and audio playback for embedded UI, and small home-automation controllers. The 28-SSOP footprint targets compact, hand-solder-friendly designs.
Design considerations: the 28-pin package limits available I/O; map pin functions carefully against USB D+/D-, oscillator, and ICSP pins. Place a 1uF decoupling cap adjacent to each VDD pin and ensure the USB D+/D- traces are 90 ohm differential and length-matched.
