PIC24F08KL301-I/SO - 16-Bit 32MHz 8KB Flash MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC24F08KL301-I/SO is a cost-effective 16-bit PIC24F microcontroller featuring nanoWatt XLP eXtreme Low Power technology, a 32 MHz clock, 8 KB of Flash program memory, 1 KB of SRAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM. The device is packaged in a 20-pin SOIC and is intended for cost-sensitive embedded systems requiring low power consumption and flexible serial connectivity. The verified product information identifies MSSP peripherals supporting I2C and SPI, along with CCP and ECCP peripherals that simplify configuration and support migration from PIC18 designs.
A microcontroller is an integrated circuit containing a processor core, program memory, data memory, and peripherals on one semiconductor device. The PIC24F family belongs to the broader embedded-controller hierarchy: 16-bit microcontroller, embedded processing IC, and programmable control device. PIC24F08KL301 combines a compact instruction set, dedicated communication peripherals, and power-management features for applications where board size, energy use, and integrated peripheral count are important.
The principal device ratings include a 32 MHz maximum clock, 8 KB Flash memory organized as 2.75K x 24 words, 1 KB RAM, 256 bytes EEPROM, 17 I/O ports, and a 3 V to 3.6 V supply range. The industrial temperature designation in the ordered MPN supports applications requiring an industrial operating grade. nanoWatt XLP is particularly relevant for battery-operated products because it allows the CPU, Flash, SRAM, and peripherals to operate in reduced-power Doze modes when continuous high-speed processing is unnecessary.
The MSSP module consolidates I2C and SPI interfaces, allowing the PIC24F08KL301-I/SO to communicate with sensors, serial memory, displays, and external converters without adding separate interface ICs. CCP and ECCP blocks provide configurable timing and capture or compare functions useful for motor control, lighting, and general timing tasks. Compared with a larger general-purpose microcontroller, this 20-pin device provides a compact option when the design does not require more memory, I/O, or processing throughput.
Typical uses include low-cost serial data loggers, battery-powered sensor interfaces, compact consumer controls, medical-device accessories, portable media accessories, and small industrial monitoring modules. The 20-pin SOIC package also supports conventional PCB assembly methods, although the maximum operating frequency and peripheral configuration should be checked against the manufacturer's device documentation during design-in.
Designers should budget input and output decoupling close to the supply and ground pins, confirm the selected programming and debug interface, and review low-power behavior in the application firmware. When upgrading an existing design, verify pin multiplexing, oscillator configuration, and peripheral assignments rather than assuming that every device with similar memory density is interchangeable.
This product page consolidates the verified manufacturer and distributor information, compares the available package and memory details, and records practical application and sourcing considerations that are not presented as a substitute for the complete Microchip device documentation.
