PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT Présentation

The Microchip Technology PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT is a 32-bit MIPS32 M4K microcontroller running up to 50 MHz/83 DMIPS, integrating 256 KB of Flash and 32 KB of SRAM into a 100-pin TQFP (12x12 mm) package. Operating from 2.3 V to 3.6 V, the device provides 81 user-capable I/O pins with Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) remapping for flexible signal routing.

A 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a microprocessor core with on-chip Flash program memory, SRAM data memory, and integrated peripherals such as timers, ADC, communication controllers, and I/O. Within the system hierarchy, an MCU sits at the top of the embedded control stack: MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor. The PIC32MX family uses the MIPS32 M4K Harvard architecture, which separates instruction and data paths and provides single-cycle multiply, hardware divide, and a deterministic interrupt response tailored to real-time embedded control.

Key differentiating features include a USB 2.0-compliant Full-Speed On-The-Go (OTG) controller, four SPI/I2S modules for codec and serial communication, a Parallel Master Port (PMP) with dual buffers for graphics interfaces, two I2C modules, and a 10-bit 1 Msps ADC with up to 28 channels. The PPS function allows digital peripheral pin assignments to be remapped in software, decoupling peripheral selection from physical pinout and simplifying PCB layout.

Architecturally, the PIC32MX250 family is built on a 5-stage pipeline MIPS32 M4K core and integrates a dedicated DMA controller, a crypto engine, and a CTMU for capacitive touch sensing. The 256 KB Flash is arranged as 256K x 8, supporting self-programming under firmware control and IEC 60730 Class B support via the Flash Error Correction Code (ECC) and supporting libraries.

Typical applications include USB peripherals and embedded hosts (HID, CDC, mass storage), audio playback with I2S DACs, low-cost graphical HMI with PMP-driven LCDs, capacitive-touch user interfaces, and industrial control nodes. The combination of USB OTG, large SRAM, and PPS makes the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT a flexible general-purpose 32-bit platform for both consumer and industrial designs.

Design tip: place 0.1 µF decoupling capacitors as close as possible to every VDD/VSS pin pair and add a bulk 10 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor near the IC. For USB designs, the 90 Ω differential D+/D- trace impedance must be controlled and the VBUS line should include ESD protection rated at IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, same-family drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes beyond what the manufacturer datasheet provides, giving engineers a single reference for sourcing and design-in.

All DMIPS figures assume the 5-stage MIPS pipeline running without wait states from Flash with predictive prefetch enabled.
Does PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT have USB OTG?
Yes, the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT integrates a USB 2.0-compliant Full-Speed On-The-Go (OTG) controller with on-chip transceiver per the Microchip PIC32MX2XX family datasheet. The OTG controller supports Host, Device, and Dual-Role modes, allowing the same hardware to act as a USB peripheral, USB embedded host, or USB On-The-Go negotiator with role-swap. This is a primary reason the PIC32MX250 series is preferred over PIC32MX1XX parts that lack USB.
How many GPIO pins does PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT have?
The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT provides 81 user-capable I/O pins on the 100-pin TQFP package according to the Microchip datasheet. All digital peripherals can be remapped to these pins via the Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) registers, allowing designers to assign UART, SPI, I2C, and timer I/O to almost any available pin. This flexibility simplifies PCB routing and avoids pin conflicts on dense designs.
What package does PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT use?
The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT uses a 100-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack) package with body dimensions of 12 mm x 12 mm and a pin pitch of 0.4 mm. The /PT suffix in the Microchip ordering code designates the TQFP package; other variants in the family use TQFP (PT), QFN (ML), or TFBGA (BG) packages. The TQFP-100 is hand-solderable and suitable for prototype or low-volume production runs.
Where can I buy PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT at the best price?
The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT is stocked at DigiKey, Mouser, and authorized Microchip distributors. As of 2026-10-02, the qty-1 unit price on DigiKey is approximately $9.20 with tiered breaks down to roughly $5.75 at 3000 units. For volume production, contacting Microchip direct or franchise distributors typically yields better pricing than catalog distributors for orders above 10k units.
What is the lead time for PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT?
As of 2026-10-02, the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT shows in-stock availability at major catalog distributors with same-day shipping for orders placed before the cutoff time. Standard lead time for factory-direct orders through Microchip is typically 6 to 12 weeks. Engineers should verify current stock at distributors because 32-bit MCU lead times can fluctuate during industry-wide capacity constraints.
PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT vs PIC32MX250F128B-I/SP - which has more Flash?
The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT integrates 256 KB of Flash and 32 KB of SRAM in a 100-pin TQFP package, while the PIC32MX250F128B-I/SP has only 128 KB of Flash and 32 KB of SRAM in a 28-pin SPDIP package. The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT therefore offers double the Flash and roughly four times the I/O count. For USB, graphics, or audio applications requiring large buffers, the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT is the better choice despite the larger package.
What is the best drop-in replacement for PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT?
The best drop-in replacement for the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT is the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PF (same die, TFBGA-100 package) or the higher-temperature PIC32MX250F256HT-I/PT (same Flash/RAM, 100-pin TQFP, automotive temperature range). All three share identical Flash (256 KB), SRAM (32 KB), peripherals, and pinout on the 100-pin package. Choose the /PF for BGA-only assembly, the /HT for AEC-Q100 environments, or the -50I for industrial-grade projects.
Where to download PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT datasheet PDF?
The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT datasheet is hosted on the official Microchip website under the PIC32MX1XX/2XX/5XX 64/100-pin Family document.

According to the Microchip PIC32MX2XX family datasheet, the I2S interface supports 16/24/32-bit word lengths and the DMA controller can move audio samples without CPU intervention. For 48 kHz/16-bit stereo, the 32 KB SRAM holds approximately 170 ms of buffering.
When should I choose PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT over PIC32MX170F256B-50I/ML?
Choose the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT when you need USB OTG, 81 I/O pins, or a Parallel Master Port for graphics, because the PIC32MX170F256B lacks USB and offers fewer peripherals. Choose the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/ML when you only need general-purpose I/O in a small QFN package and want to minimize board area and cost. Both share the same MIPS32 M4K core and 256 KB Flash.
What is the AEC-Q100 qualification status of PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT?
The PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT is industrial-grade (-40C to +85C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified according to the Microchip part numbering convention. The automotive-qualified counterpart in the same family is the PIC32MX250F256HT-I/PT which carries the -HT suffix indicating an extended temperature grade. For AEC-Q100 applications, designers must use the -HT variant, not the standard -50I part.

Choose the PIC32MX250F256L-50I/PT when you need a 32-bit MCU with integrated USB Full-Speed OTG, 256 KB Flash, 32 KB SRAM, and 81 I/O pins in a hand-solderable 100-pin TQFP. It is the default member of the PIC32MX250 family and the most balanced choice for USB peripherals, audio playback, and PMP-driven graphical HMI. Select the PIC32MX250F256HT-I/PT (same package, -HT suffix) for AEC-Q100 environments requiring +105C operation. Select the PIC32MX274F256D-I/PT for new designs where a 72 MHz core and additional peripherals justify migrating to the MX2 v2 family. Select the PIC32MX230F256D-50I/PT when SRAM size is non-critical and cost is the primary driver. All five parts share the same 100-pin TQFP pinout, enabling PCB layout reuse across variants.

Principaux différenciateurs

  • Integrated USB 2.0 Full-Speed OTG controller with on-chip transceiver (vs PIC32MX170F512L-50I/PT)
  • 50 MHz / 83 DMIPS core speed for the same Flash/SRAM capacity (vs PIC32MX230F256D-50I/PT)
  • Full Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) remapping on all digital peripherals (vs PIC32MX250F256H-50I/PT)

Notes de conception

Place a 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor on every VDD/VSS pin pair as close to the package as physically possible (within 2 mm). Add a single 10 uF bulk ceramic or tantalum capacitor near the IC to handle transient load steps from the USB transceiver and ADC. The VUSB pin (pin 23) requires a 1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor to ground per the Microchip PIC32MX2XX family datasheet, and this capacitor must be present even when USB is unused because the internal 3.3 V LDO remains active.

For USB designs, the D+ and D- traces must be routed as a 90 ohm differential pair with controlled impedance, using a continuous reference ground plane beneath. Length matching should hold within 150 mil between D+ and D- per the USB 2.0 specification. Place a common-mode choke or ferrite bead in series with VBUS if the design is susceptible to conducted EMI, and add ESD protection diodes (USBLC6-2SC6 or equivalent) rated at IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 directly at the USB connector.

Use the Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature to remap digital peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, timers) to any available I/O pin, but group high-speed SPI signals (SCK, MOSI, MISO) on adjacent pins to minimize loop area. Estimated: keep SCK trace length below 50 mm and route it on the top layer with a continuous ground plane on layer 2 to avoid EMI. Place the 8 MHz or 12 MHz crystal within 5 mm of the OSC1/OSC2 pins and guard the traces with a ground pour on both sides.

Do not skip the MCLR pull-up resistor; the MCLR pin (pin 95) requires a 10 kohm pull-up to VDD for reliable reset behavior, especially in noisy environments. Do not leave any VDD pin floating; the PIC32MX250F256L has multiple VDD pins (2, 7, 44, 75, 99) and all must be connected. Programming the device via ICSP requires both PGECx/PGEDx pairs to be accessible - if a pair is used exclusively for peripherals, keep the alternate pair (PGEC3/PGED3 on pins 27/28) free for in-circuit debugging.

When driving large parallel LCDs through the PMP, add 22 ohm series damping resistors on the PMD[15:0], PMRD, PMWR, and PMCS lines if the bus length exceeds 50 mm. The PMP can sustain up to 50 MHz operation but the actual throughput depends on the load capacitance of the LCD connector and cable. Estimated: total bus capacitance should be held below 50 pF to maintain 25 MHz PMP operation without bus errors.
