PIC32MX250F128C-I/TL - 32-bit MCU 128KB Flash 40MHz USB | Microchip
The Microchip PIC32MX250F128C-I/TL is a 32-bit MIPS32 M4K microcontroller with 128KB Flash, 32KB SRAM, USB 2.0 full-speed device/host/OTG, and audio/graphics interfaces, housed in a 36-pin VTLA (5x5 mm) surface-mount package with exposed pad. It runs at 40 MHz core clock, provides 19 general-purpose I/O, and integrates Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), a Parallel Master Port (PMP) for graphics, two I2S/SPI modules for codec interfacing, a 10-bit 1 Msps ADC with up to 13 channels, and mTouch capacitive-touch support.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program memory (Flash), data memory (SRAM), peripherals, and I/O. The PIC32MX250 family sits within Microchip's PIC32MX tier of 32-bit MIPS-based microcontrollers, which itself belongs to the broader category of microcontrollers -> embedded processors -> semiconductors. PIC32MX parts target applications that need more performance than 8/16-bit MCUs while keeping the PIC ecosystem (MPLAB X IDE, Harmony, MCC code configurator) and a clear migration path across the PIC32 family.
Key differentiating features include on-chip USB 2.0 full-speed device/host/OTG (rare in this flash/RAM tier), 4-wire Parallel Master Port for direct graphics LCD driving without external controllers, and dual I2S/SSI interfaces aimed at audio codecs. The part operates from 2.3V to 3.6V with industrial -40C to +85C temperature range, uses an internal 8 MHz Fast RC oscillator with PLL up to 40 MHz, and supports 5 general-purpose 16-bit timers plus Input Capture and Output Compare channels.
The PIC32MX250F128C uses the MIPS32 M4K core with 5-stage pipeline, single-cycle multiply, hardware multiply-accumulate, and a 1.5 DMIPS/MHz figure (delivering 60 DMIPS at 40 MHz). It includes a 32-channel DMA controller, JTAG and 2-wire ICSP programming/debug, and an on-chip temperature indicator for thermal monitoring. The VTLA-36 (5x5 mm) package has a thermal pad that must be soldered to the PCB ground pour for proper thermal dissipation.
Typical applications include USB audio devices (USB headsets, USB DACs), consumer audio products with I2S codecs, low-cost graphical HMI panels (using PMP+LCD), capacitive-touch human interfaces (keyboards, sliders), and small USB peripherals such as HID game controllers, data loggers, or CDC devices. The combination of USB OTG + graphics PMP + I2S makes the PIC32MX250 particularly attractive for cost-sensitive multimedia consumer nodes.
When designing with this part, allocate generous PCB copper under the exposed pad - the VTLA package dissipates heat through this pad. Add a 4.7uF + 0.1uF decoupling pair at every VDD pin. For USB applications, the internal USB transceiver requires a 48 MHz clock derived from the PLL with 0.25% accuracy; a 12 MHz crystal or 8 MHz + PLL configuration is recommended. JTAG and ICSP share pins, so plan the programming header to avoid contention with user I/O.
