PIC24F16KA301-E/SS - 16-Bit 32MHz XLP MCU | Microchip
N.º de pieza: PIC24F16KA301-E/SS ✓ ActivoPIC24F16KA301-E/SS Descripción general
A microcontroller is a programmable semiconductor that integrates a processor core, memory, and peripherals into one device. The PIC24F16KA301-E/SS belongs to the PIC24F family of reduced-instruction-set-computing microcontrollers. Its XLP low-power architecture includes Deep Sleep support and peripherals such as DSBOR, DSWDT, and RTCC that can continue operating in low-power states.
Key device features include 16 KB of flash program memory organized as 5.5K by 24 words, 2 KB of eight-bit RAM, 512 bytes of EEPROM, 18 I/O pins, and a 12-bit ADC. The MCU supports up to 16 MIPS, provides an internal oscillator, and includes CTMU capability. These resources support embedded control, analog measurement, timing, communication, and low-duty-cycle sensor-handling tasks.
The 20-pin SSOP package is intended for compact through-hole PCB assembly and provides 18 I/O pins for external sensors, switches, indicators, and actuators. The -E suffix identifies the extended-temperature ordering option, while /SS identifies the SSOP package configuration. Verify the exact temperature limits and pin-level functions against the manufacturer datasheet before final schematic release.
Typical uses include battery-powered environmental sensors, compact industrial monitoring equipment, low-power data-acquisition nodes, appliance control modules, and portable measurement instruments. Its 12-bit ADC supports analog inputs, while CTMU and the timing peripherals can support capacitive sensing and low-power wake-up functions.
Power design should emphasize the MCU operating voltage, input and output decoupling, analog-reference stability, and correct oscillator configuration. Place decoupling capacitors close to the supply pins, route analog and digital return currents carefully, and confirm ADC input limits against the selected operating mode.
This product page consolidates verified distributor specifications, package and pricing information, drop-in family alternatives, and practical selection guidance. It also distinguishes confirmed attributes from parameters that still require verification, helping engineers make procurement decisions without treating unverified electrical details as guaranteed specifications.

Aplicaciones típicas
PIC24F16KA301-E/SS es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Battery-Powered Environmental Sensors, Industrial Monitoring and Control, Portable Measurement Instruments, Low-Power Data Acquisition Nodes, Capacitive-Sensing Interfaces, Appliance and Equipment Control.
Battery-Powered Environmental Sensors
PIC24F16KA301-E/SS fits compact environmental monitoring nodes because its PIC XLP architecture and Deep Sleep operation reduce the energy required during long inactive periods. The 12-bit ADC can acquire sensor signals, while DSBOR, DSWDT, and RTCC remain associated with low-power operation. Its 16 MIPS processing capability provides responsive control without requiring a higher-power processor. The 20-pin SSOP also leaves 18 I/O pins available for sensor inputs, status indicators, and configuration interfaces. Designers should use the manufacturer datasheet to confirm ADC channels, wake sources, and the exact active and Deep Sleep current before calculating battery life.
Recomendado
Industrial Monitoring and Control
The PIC24F16KA301-E/SS is suitable for compact industrial monitoring modules that combine analog acquisition with digital control. Its 12-bit ADC can process sensor channels, and its 18 available I/O pins support digital inputs, relay or valve control, and status indicators. Processing performance of 16 MIPS is suitable for many supervisory control tasks, while the internal oscillator simplifies designs that do not require an external clock source. For factory equipment, engineers must verify the exact -E temperature limits and any application-specific qualification requirements. The 20-pin SSOP format also supports straightforward through-hole assembly and repair on larger control boards.
Recomendado
Portable Measurement Instruments
PIC24F16KA301-E/SS supports portable meters and field-measurement instruments where a compact processor, analog conversion, and low-power standby are important. The 12-bit ADC supports analog measurement, CTMU provides an additional measurement resource, and the 2 KB RAM can hold short acquisition buffers and operating state. At 32 MHz and 16 MIPS, the MCU can handle signal conditioning, calibration, and display or communications updates. XLP Deep Sleep operation can reduce consumption between measurements. The verified data does not specify ADC acquisition time, accuracy, or numeric sleep current, so those parameters must be checked in the manufacturer datasheet before setting measurement accuracy and battery-life targets.
Recomendado
Low-Power Data Acquisition Nodes
The PIC24F16KA301-E/SS is appropriate for distributed data-acquisition nodes that wake periodically, measure analog inputs, and transmit or store results. Its internal oscillator avoids a mandatory external crystal, while the 12-bit ADC and 18 I/O pins provide the basic acquisition interface. The 16 MIPS processing rate supports filtering, calibration, and protocol framing, and XLP Deep Sleep features help isolate inactive current. A 20-pin SSOP is useful when board space and component height are constraints. Because the supplied specifications do not include active current, wake time, or ADC timing, engineers should calculate duty-cycle energy consumption from manufacturer data and include local decoupling close to the device.
Recomendado
Capacitive-Sensing Interfaces
PIC24F16KA301-E/SS can support capacitive-touch or capacitive-measurement interfaces because CTMU is included in the verified feature set. The MCU can time and evaluate capacitance-related signals, while its 16 MIPS performance is adequate for debouncing, filtering, and reporting results through ordinary digital I/O. Eighteen I/O pins allow one controller to serve several touch or sensing channels, depending on the selected pin multiplexing. The exact CTMU channels, timing ranges, and usable capacitance limits were not present in the supplied snippets and must be confirmed from the manufacturer datasheet. PCB layout should keep sensing traces short and controlled.
Recomendado
Appliance and Equipment Control
PIC24F16KA301-E/SS provides a compact control platform for appliances, timers, and small equipment modules. The 16 KB flash offers room for application firmware, 2 KB RAM supports working state and peripheral buffers, and 512 bytes EEPROM provides nonvolatile parameter storage. Eighteen I/O pins can serve buttons, displays, indicators, and actuator outputs, while the 12-bit ADC handles analog feedback or sensing. Its internal oscillator and 20-pin SSOP reduce board complexity. Product designers should verify output-drive limits, supply voltage, ADC reference requirements, and watchdog behavior in the datasheet. Software should exercise DSWDT appropriately during development without relying on an unsupported watchdog configuration.

Notas de diseño
The verified sources identify XLP technology and Deep Sleep peripherals but do not provide numeric active or sleep-current values. Before sizing a battery or regulator, obtain the operating-current curves, Deep Sleep current, and wake-up timing from the manufacturer datasheet. Calculate average consumption from the intended duty cycle and reserve regulator headroom. Verify that the selected external supply remains within the device's supported voltage range across temperature.
Place all required decoupling capacitors immediately beside the corresponding power pins and provide a low-impedance return path to ground. Analog and digital routes should remain separated where practical, especially when the 12-bit ADC measures low-level sensor signals. Use a quiet analog reference arrangement if the selected ADC configuration requires it, and validate the final grounding and filtering strategy with measured noise on the production design.
Do not assume that an identical package guarantees firmware compatibility. PIC24F16KA301-I/SS is the closest documented alternative because its verified core resources match, but memory variants such as PIC24F16KA302-I/SS and PIC24F16KA304-I/SS must be checked for RAM, EEPROM, peripheral, and pin-function differences. Also verify the -E versus -I temperature grade, device identification bits, programming configuration, and watchdog or brown-out settings before production release.
