PIC24F16KA302-I/SS - 32MHz 16-bit Low-Power MCU | Microchip
Microchip Technology PIC24F16KA302-I/SS is a 16-bit PIC24 XLP microcontroller with a 32 MHz maximum clock, 16 KB Flash program memory, 2 KB RAM, and 512 bytes of EEPROM in a 28-pin SSOP package. Designed for power-constrained and battery-powered equipment, it combines a 12-bit ADC, CTMU, 17 I/O ports, and low-power peripherals including DSBOR, DSWDT, and RTCC operation during Deep Sleep.
A microcontroller is an integrated circuit containing a processor core, program memory, data memory, and peripherals on one die. The PIC24 family uses a 16-bit RISC architecture, while XLP, or eXtreme Low Power, describes Microchip technologies that reduce current consumption in operating and low-power states. This places the PIC24F16KA302 in the hierarchy of embedded controller, microcontroller, semiconductor, and low-power power-management system.
The device provides 16 MIPS processing performance at its 32 MHz maximum clock, with 5.5K x 24 words of Flash program memory and 512 bytes of EEPROM. Its 12-bit ADC supports analog measurements, while CTMU adds capacitive-measurement capabilities useful in touch, sensing, and diagnostic products. The DSBOR, DSWDT, and RTCC functions can remain active in Deep Sleep, helping preserve system state and monitor timing or brownout conditions while energy use is reduced.
The -I/SS ordering code identifies the industrial-grade 28-pin SSOP configuration presented in the verified distributor data. Operating supply voltage is 1.8 V to 3.6 V, making the controller appropriate for low-voltage embedded systems that can use a 3.3 V rail directly. Its 17 I/O pins provide external interfaces for sensors, indicators, communications, and control functions without requiring a separate programmable logic device.
Typical applications include battery-powered industrial sensors, portable medical and diagnostic equipment, low-power environmental monitors, compact control panels, and connected measurement products. For designs operating from a battery, the XLP architecture and Deep Sleep peripherals are particularly useful. For designs requiring analog precision, the 12-bit ADC provides a higher resolution than an 8-bit converter and can be paired with external sensors or conditioning circuits.
PCB design should preserve the verified 28-pin SSOP footprint and provide adequate decoupling and grounding around the microcontroller. Firmware must also configure the DSBOR, DSWDT, RTCC, ADC, and CTMU functions for the intended battery life rather than assuming that Deep Sleep alone provides a specific current level. Exact pin assignments, operating-temperature limits, and detailed electrical characteristics must be confirmed against the Microchip manufacturer documentation before layout release.
This product page consolidates the verified 32 MHz, 16 KB Flash, 2 KB RAM, 512-byte EEPROM, 12-bit ADC, CTMU, and 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply information with package, purchasing, lifecycle, and replacement guidance. It also distinguishes true same-package drop-in candidates from electrically similar devices that require a different PCB footprint, helping engineers make a safer sourcing decision.
