PIC24F16KA101-I/SO - 16KB Flash XLP 16-bit MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC24F16KA101-I/SO is a 16-bit microcontroller featuring nanoWatt XLP eXtreme Low Power technology, 16 KB (5.5K x 24) of Flash program memory, 2 KB of RAM, and 512 B of EEPROM, packaged in a 20-pin SOIC (0.295" / 7.50 mm body width). It operates at up to 32 MHz delivering 16 MIPS throughput from a 1.8V to 3.6V supply and provides 16 GPIO lines for digital I/O.
A 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a microprocessor that processes data and instructions in 16-bit chunks, giving it a higher instruction throughput, larger addressing range, and richer peripheral integration than legacy 8-bit devices while retaining single-chip simplicity. Within the broader taxonomy, this part sits at: 16-bit MCU -> PIC24F family -> XLP (eXtreme Low Power) microcontrollers -> embedded microcontrollers -> semiconductor ICs. The PIC24F KA family is purpose-built for battery-powered and energy-harvesting designs, adding deep-sleep retention, deep-sleep brown-out reset (DSBOR), deep-sleep watchdog timer (DSWDT), and a real-time clock calendar (RTCC) that keep current draw in the nanoamp range while state and time-of-day are preserved.
Key features include 16 MIPS performance at 32 MHz, 16 KB self-programmable Flash, 2 KB SRAM, 512 B EEPROM, 16 GPIO, three 16-bit timers, two analog comparators, a 10-bit ADC with up to 12 channels, two UART/SPI/I2C selectable serial modules (MSSP), and 5V tolerant I/O on digital pins. Peripherals are orchestrated by a peripheral pin-select (PPS) engine that maps digital functions onto most I/O, simplifying PCB routing.
Architecturally the device uses a modified Harvard RISC core with a 24-bit instruction word, single-cycle hardware multiply, and a 16-element x 16-bit working register array. The XLP power-management block supports Sleep, Idle, Deep-Sleep, and Deep-Sleep-with-RTCC modes, with typical Deep-Sleep currents in the tens of nanoamps, which is the technical reason this family dominates in coin-cell and energy-harvesting applications.
Typical applications include battery-powered IoT sensor nodes, wearable health and fitness devices, remote controls, low-power wireless sensor transmitters, energy-harvesting switches, industrial data loggers, and any portable or unattended product where quiescent current budgets are measured in microamps. Designers targeting ULPMark scores, ENERGY STAR standby limits, or coin-cell lifetimes of multiple years will find the KA-series XLP feature set directly aligned with their targets.
When designing with this part, allocate one I/O pin for the MCLR reset, use PPS carefully to avoid peripheral map conflicts, and follow Microchip's recommended decoupling and ICSP programming layout. For absolute minimum sleep current, leave all unused pins configured as outputs driving low and disable unused peripherals via PMD registers; these two steps alone typically reduce Deep-Sleep current by 20-40 percent versus an unconfigured default.
