PIC24FV16KA301-I/P - 16KB Flash, 16 MIPS XLP MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC24FV16KA301-I/P is a 16-bit Flash microcontroller from the PIC24FV KA family featuring eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology, 16 KB program Flash, 2 KB RAM, and 512 B EEPROM, housed in a 20-pin PDIP (0.300 inch, 7.62 mm) through-hole package. It executes up to 16 MIPS at 32 MHz, integrates a 12-bit ADC, CTMU (Charge Time Measurement Unit), 17 general-purpose I/O pins, and supports wide operating voltage from 2.0V to 5.5V (5V tolerant). The -I temperature suffix indicates the -40°C to +85°C industrial operating range, and the FV variant denotes the 5V-tolerant wide-voltage part.
An MCU (microcontroller) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program memory (Flash), data memory (RAM, EEPROM), and peripherals such as ADC, timers, and communication interfaces. The PIC24F family sits in the hierarchy 8-bit PIC -> 16-bit PIC24F -> 32-bit PIC32, balancing 8-bit PIC simplicity with 16-bit MIPS performance. Within that hierarchy, the PIC24FV16KA301 belongs to the XLP sub-family optimized for ultra-low-power battery applications where active current, sleep current, and Deep Sleep mode retention matter as much as raw MIPS.
Key features include Deep Sleep mode with RTCC, DSBOR (Deep Sleep Brown-Out Reset), and DSWDT (Deep Sleep Watchdog Timer) for unattended battery operation; 5V-tolerant I/O enabling direct interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals; a 12-bit ADC with up to 16 channels and CTMU supporting capacitive touch and time measurement; and three 16-bit timers plus a Real-Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC). The 16 MIPS throughput delivers ample headroom for sensor fusion, digital control loops, and user-interface firmware in the same device.
Architecturally, the PIC24FV16KA301 uses a modified Harvard architecture with a 16-bit data path, 24-bit instruction word, and hardware Multiply/Divide unit. The integrated voltage regulator supports a wide 2.0V to 5.5V supply, with on-chip FRC (Fast RC) and LPRC (Low-Power RC) oscillators eliminating external crystals in cost-sensitive designs. The result is a deterministic, low-power, 16-bit MCU family suited for human-interface, sensor, and IoT endpoint designs.
Typical applications include battery-powered IoT sensor nodes, wearable health monitors, remote controls, energy harvesting endpoints, capacitive-touch user interfaces, and low-power industrial sensor transmitters. The 5V-tolerance also suits industrial 24V bus I/O nodes with a 5V regulator downstream.
When designing with this device, leverage the XLP peripherals (DSBOR, DSWDT, RTCC) to keep average current in Deep Sleep below 1 µA, allowing 10+ year battery life on a coin cell. Always de-couple VDD/VSS with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pins.
