PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF Overview
A 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a programmable embedded processor that uses a 16-bit-wide data path and instruction word to deliver higher arithmetic precision and code density than 8-bit devices, while remaining lower-power and simpler than 32-bit Cortex-M parts. Within the Microchip taxonomy, the PIC24H series sits above the PIC24F (lower-cost, lower-power) and below the dsPIC33F (DSP-enhanced) families, offering seamless migration paths between PIC24F, dsPIC30F and dsPIC33F. PIC microcontrollers belong to the broader category of RISC microcontrollers and form part of Microchip's 8/16/32-bit MCU portfolio used in motor control, power conversion, sensor processing, and general-purpose embedded designs.
Key features include a modified Harvard architecture with 16-bit data path, single-cycle hardware multiply, a 17-bit x 17-bit multiplier, hardware DMA controller, four 16-bit timers, two UART modules, two SPI modules, two I2C modules, two CAN modules, and a 10-bit/1.1 Msps ADC with up to 32 channels. The 3.0 V to 3.6 V single-supply operation and built-in JTAG/ICSP in-circuit debug interface enable field-upgradable firmware in industrial equipment.
The device uses a 5-stage pipeline optimized for C-compiled code, with on-chip FRC oscillator and PLL providing flexible clock options. The integrated DMA engine offloads data movement between peripherals and RAM, freeing the CPU for control-loop math in real-time applications. Hardware CRC and a flexible vectored interrupt controller with 5 cycle latency further support deterministic embedded performance.
Typical applications include industrial motor control (BLDC, PMSM, ACIM drives), sensor signal conditioning and data acquisition, building automation HVAC controllers, medical patient monitoring devices, and CAN-connected automotive body and chassis ECUs. The wide peripheral mix makes it equally well suited for switch-mode power supply digital control, LED lighting controllers, and point-of-sale terminals.
When designing with this part, allocate careful PCB layout for the analog AVSS/AVDD pair, place a 10 uF plus 0.1 uF decoupling network near each VDD/VSS pair, and provide an external 32.768 kHz crystal or use the internal low-power RC for RTC timing. The PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PF revision is a pin-compatible variant recommended for new designs; the I/PF temperature grade is -40C to +85C (industrial).

Typical Applications
PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Motor Control (BLDC / PMSM), Building Automation and HVAC Controllers, Medical Patient Monitoring Devices, Industrial CAN-Connected Sensor Hubs, Switch-Mode Power Supply Digital Control, Automotive Body and Chassis ECUs.
Industrial Motor Control (BLDC / PMSM)
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF is a mainstream choice for sensorless and sensored 3-phase BLDC and PMSM motor drives in industrial automation. Its 40 MIPS throughput executes field-oriented control loops in tens of microseconds, while the 1.1 Msps 10-bit ADC simultaneously samples two phase currents and the DC-bus voltage with PWM-triggered synchronization for sub-microsecond timing accuracy. The two ECAN modules provide industrial CANopen or DeviceNet connectivity for slave nodes on a factory bus. Used between 24 V and 48 V rails at 3.0-3.6 V supply, the GP210 drives gate-driver ICs such as the MCP8024 or FAN73932 via PWM outputs, replacing legacy 8-bit MCUs in fans, pumps and small servo drives with deterministic 16-bit performance and robust -40 C to +85 C operation.
Recommended
Building Automation and HVAC Controllers
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF fits building-automation HVAC controllers where 85 GPIO, two UARTs, two SPIs and two I2Cs drive a rich mix of sensors, keypads, displays and external transceivers. Its 64 KB Flash accommodates Modbus RTU, BACnet MS-TP and proprietary HVAC state machines, while 8 KB RAM holds comms buffers and PID loop state. The two ECAN ports interface with BMS trunk lines for chiller and air-handling-unit integration. Operates reliably from -40 C to +85 C in plant rooms and rooftop enclosures, with the 100-pin TQFP giving designers ample I/O headroom for multi-zone thermostats and variable-air-volume boxes.
Recommended
Medical Patient Monitoring Devices
Medical patient monitors benefit from the PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF's deterministic interrupt latency, hardware DMA and -40 C to +85 C industrial temperature range. The 1.1 Msps ADC captures pulse-oximeter photoplethysmogram waveforms and ECG front-end signals, while the DMA engine moves samples to RAM without CPU intervention, freeing cycles for filtering and display update. The two UARTs link to wireless modules such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi companion chips, and the two ECANs support hospital-bus connectivity on multi-parameter monitors. With its 16-bit math and 40 MIPS throughput, the GP210 implements FIR/IIR filters and heart-rate-detection algorithms in firmware, accelerating time-to-market for Class II medical devices.
Recommended
Industrial CAN-Connected Sensor Hubs
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF is well matched to industrial CAN-connected sensor hubs that aggregate multiple analog and digital sensors onto a CANopen or DeviceNet trunk. Its two integrated ECAN modules, 32-channel 10-bit ADC and dual I2C/SPI interfaces let the MCU read thermocouples, strain gauges, flow meters and accelerometers concurrently. The hardware DMA engine shuttles conversion results into RAM while the CPU executes averaging and linearization math. The wide 3.0-3.6 V supply tolerance tolerates 24 V industrial rails after regulation, and the -40 C to +85 C range suits outdoor installations. Footprint-compatible variants such as the PIC24HJ128GP210-I/PF scale firmware up for more sensor channels.
Recommended
Switch-Mode Power Supply Digital Control
Digital control loops in switch-mode power supplies leverage the PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF's 40 MIPS throughput and PWM-triggered ADC to implement PFC and current-mode control in firmware. The 1.1 Msps ADC samples the current shunt and output voltage precisely once per switching cycle, while high-speed PWM outputs drive the power-stage MOSFETs. The 16-bit math and hardware multiply accelerate Type-II/Type-III compensator arithmetic, replacing traditional analog UC3842-style controllers with flexible, firmware-upgradable digital control. The device's wide operating range suits industrial 24 V bus converters, telecom brick replacements and high-bay LED drivers where diagnostics and adaptive control are required.
Recommended
Automotive Body and Chassis ECUs
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF is used in non-safety automotive body and chassis ECUs such as HVAC control panels, seat controllers, lighting modules and CAN gateway nodes. Two integrated ECAN modules provide bus connectivity, while 85 GPIO and the dual SPI/I2C/UART mix drive LIN transceivers, LED drivers and stepper-motor position sensors. With its -40 C to +85 C operating range the MCU tolerates under-hood and cabin thermal stress; designs requiring -40 C to +125 C should migrate to AEC-Q100-qualified PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PF automotive variants or the dsPIC33CH family. The 100-pin TQFP (14x14 mm) package simplifies PCB layout in space-constrained ECU housings.

Design Notes
PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF operates from a single 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply; place a 10 uF bulk plus 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to every VDD/VSS pair (the 100-pin TQFP has multiple VDD and VSS pins distributed around the package). The analog AVdd/AVss pins should be filtered with a ferrite bead or small inductor from digital VDD, and a 10 uF + 0.1 uF pair on AVdd is mandatory to keep ADC readings below 1 LSB noise. Inrush current at cold start does not exceed 50 mA; a 100 mA-rated 3.3 V LDO such as MCP1825 is appropriate. Estimated: 3.3 V x 50 mA = 0.165 W worst-case inrush per regulator datasheet; the MCU itself draws 60 mA active / 25 uA sleep typical.
At 40 MIPS continuous activity, the PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PF dissipates approximately 200 mW internally on a 14x14 mm TQFP with thermal resistance (theta_JA) around 40 C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC test board. Estimated: 200 mW x 40 C/W = 8 C junction rise above ambient, well within the -40 C to +125 C junction limit (industrial safety to +85 C ambient). For enclosed designs with restricted airflow, increase copper pour on the exposed ground pad region under the TQFP body and consider thermal vias to inner layers. Always calculate thermal margin for the worst-case ambient (85 C) and verify junction temperature stays below 125 C in production.
Route the high-speed analog signals (AN0-AN23) away from switching digital lines; keep ADC traces short, length-matched and guarded with adjacent ground. Place the 32.768 kHz SOSC crystal within 5 mm of pins SOSCI/SOSCO with short traces and a grounded guard ring for clean RTC operation. The main 4-20 MHz crystal on OSC1/OSC2 also benefits from short traces and a ground flood around it. The JTAG/ICSP pins (PGEC1/PGED1 on RB6/RB7) should be brought to a 6-pin 0.1 inch header for in-circuit programming without disturbing the PCB layout.
Do not exceed the 3.6 V absolute maximum on any I/O pin; even brief overvoltage during hot-plug events can latch up the part. Always configure unused I/O pins as outputs driving low to minimize current draw and EMI. Ensure the MCLR reset pin has its required 10 kohm pull-up and 0.1 uF capacitor for proper POR; omitting this causes intermittent resets in noisy industrial environments. The 5V-tolerant I/O markings in some legacy PIC24 documentation do NOT apply to the PIC24H family - all I/O are 3.3 V only. Engineers familiar with PIC24F may also mistakenly assume PIC24H and PIC24F share the same pinout - they are NOT drop-in compatible; always re-validate the pinout from the PIC24H datasheet before PCB rework.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant per Microchip product page and Digikey listing. Not AEC-Q100 qualified - automotive designs should evaluate AEC-Q100-qualified PIC24HJ variants or dsPIC33CH family. Industrial -40C to +85C temperature grade.
