PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT - 16-Bit 40 MIPS MCU | Microchip
MPN: PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT ✓ ActivePIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT Overview
A PIC24H is a general-purpose 16-bit microcontroller within the PIC24 family of embedded processors. It combines high-performance DSP-oriented arithmetic, general-purpose control peripherals, multiple communications interfaces, and flexible pin multiplexing. The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT therefore belongs to the MCU → microprocessor → embedded controller → semiconductor hierarchy and is designed for systems requiring substantial processing throughput and a broad peripheral set.
Principal device features include operation up to 64 MHz, an integrated ADC, DMA channels, two UART modules, and two SPI modules. Its 8 KB SRAM provides working memory for control algorithms and communication buffers, while 64 KB of program Flash supports embedded application code. The industrial-grade designation is appropriate for equipment operating across extended temperature environments, subject to the device's specified electrical and thermal limits.
The PIC24H architecture executes 16-bit instructions and supports up to 40 MIPS, making it suitable for real-time motor-control, industrial automation, communications, and measurement functions. Its digital peripherals handle serial transfers and autonomous data movement, while the ADC supports analog measurement. The integrated DMA channels reduce processor intervention during peripheral transfers, which can improve responsiveness in systems with multiple interrupt-driven or continuously sampled data paths.
Typical uses include industrial motor controllers, multi-axis motion systems, data-acquisition equipment, serial gateways, and embedded industrial controllers. Two UARTs and two SPI interfaces allow connection to sensors, transceivers, memory devices, and service ports. The 100-pin package exposes a large I/O count, reducing the need for external I/O expanders in systems that require numerous discrete inputs and outputs.
Designers should confirm pin multiplexing, peripheral-instance assignments, clock configuration, and package-dependent peripheral availability in the manufacturer pin-description table. PCB layout should provide a stable decoupling network, clean return paths, and appropriate programming and debug access. The /PT package requires a 100-pin TQFP land pattern and should not be substituted with a smaller PIC24H package without a complete board-level review.

Typical Applications
PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Motor Control, Data Acquisition and Condition Monitoring, Industrial Serial Gateway, Multi-Axis Motion Controller, Programmable Logic Controller, Embedded Communication Controller.
Industrial Motor Control
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT fits industrial motor-control controllers that require deterministic computation alongside mixed analog and digital I/O. Its 16-bit PIC24H architecture delivers up to 40 MIPS, enabling faster control-loop execution, while the integrated ADC provides a direct path for current, position, or temperature feedback. Two UARTs and two SPI modules support encoders, sensors, displays, and service interfaces, while DMA moves peripheral data with less CPU intervention. The 100-pin TQFP package provides broad peripheral access for gate-driver control, fault inputs, and communications. Firmware, PWM mappings, protection timing, and board-level electromagnetic performance still require application-specific validation.
Recommended
Data Acquisition and Condition Monitoring
PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT is suitable for condition-monitoring equipment that combines analog measurement with network or service connectivity. The integrated ADC supports sensor acquisition, while the 40 MIPS, 16-bit processing capability allows filtering, scaling, and fault calculations to execute without relying entirely on an external processor. Two UARTs and two SPI modules can connect to external sensors, memory, transceivers, and isolated communications. DMA channels support efficient transfer of sampled or received data, reducing processor overhead during continuous acquisition. The 64 KB Flash capacity is appropriate for compact control and logging firmware, while the 3.0 V to 3.6 V operating range simplifies integration with 3.3 V system rails.
Recommended
Industrial Serial Gateway
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT can serve as the protocol-conversion engine in an industrial serial gateway. Its two UART channels provide independent serial links, while two SPI interfaces can accommodate local sensors, memory, or peripheral expansion. Up to 40 MIPS allows simultaneous protocol parsing, data transformation, diagnostics, and flow control without a complex multicore architecture. The 8 KB SRAM supports transient packet handling, and 64 KB of Flash accommodates protocol stacks and configuration logic. Its 100-pin package also provides ample I/O for status indicators, configuration inputs, and isolation-control signals. A production design should include ESD protection, isolation boundaries, watchdogs, and validated recovery behavior for unattended equipment.
Recommended
Multi-Axis Motion Controller
PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT is well suited to compact multi-axis motion controllers where computational performance, analog feedback, and serial peripherals must coexist in one package. The 16-bit PIC24H core operates at up to 40 MIPS for position-loop calculations, trajectory handling, and real-time diagnostics. The integrated ADC supports analog feedback from position sensors or current-sensing networks, and DMA can reduce the processing burden associated with repeated sensor and communications transfers. Two UARTs and two SPI modules provide paths to encoders, external drivers, and configuration storage. The 100-pin TQFP footprint exposes the I/O needed by several axes, but timing margins, grounding, motor-noise coupling, and protection must be evaluated at system level.
Recommended
Programmable Logic Controller
The PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT can serve as the processor inside a compact programmable logic controller for machine control, building automation, or equipment monitoring. Its 16-bit architecture and 40 MIPS performance support scan scheduling, Boolean execution, analog scaling, and communications handling. The integrated ADC allows direct connection to sensor inputs, while two UARTs and two SPI modules support local displays, sensor networks, memory, and service adapters. The broad 100-pin package reduces the need for external I/O expansion when a design requires numerous digital inputs and outputs. Industrial qualification, watchdog behavior, brownout handling, and safe output states are more important than raw throughput when the controller performs safety-related machine functions.
Recommended
Embedded Communication Controller
PIC24HJ64GP210-I/PT can act as an embedded communications controller in equipment that requires protocol management, status reporting, and local control. Two UART modules support independent service and field-facing links, while two SPI interfaces can connect to radio modules, memories, or sensor controllers. The up-to-40-MIPS processor handles framing, checksums, routing, and diagnostics, and DMA allows transfers to continue efficiently between service events. Its 64 KB Flash and 8 KB SRAM provide sufficient capacity for compact protocol firmware without demanding a separate processor. The 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with 3.3 V interface logic, while industrial temperature grading supports equipment deployed outside tightly controlled indoor environments.

Key Differentiators
- Balanced embedded processing and peripheral integration (vs PIC24HJ128GP210-I/PT)
- Compact program-memory footprint for focused control firmware (vs PIC24HJ256GP210-I/PT)
- Direct revision migration within the same orderable family (vs PIC24HJ64GP210AT-I/PT)
Design Notes
Assign the 100-pin TQFP land pattern from the manufacturer package drawing rather than inferring it from the device name. Place the required supply bypass capacitors beside their corresponding power and ground pins, use a continuous ground reference where practical, and route high-current or high-switching-node connections away from ADC and serial inputs to reduce coupling into the PIC24H control loops.
Use the manufacturer pin-description table to finalize every net because flexible multiplexing can move communications and timer functions among the 100 pins. Maintain short paths for programming, debugging, and crystal or clock signals, and provide clean access to all programming interface signals. After pin assignment, run an ERC and pin-conflict check against the exact device configuration and revision.
Separate analog sensing paths from UART, SPI, PWM, and motor-drive return currents. Use a compact ground-return strategy, minimize loop area around sensitive inputs, and place analog filtering components close to the ADC pins. When the MCU controls switching power or isolated communication hardware, validate conducted and radiated emissions because the 40 MIPS processing capability can produce fast edge rates even at a 3.3 V supply.
Do not substitute a different GP210 memory revision solely because it uses the same 100-pin TQFP footprint. Confirm Flash capacity, SRAM, peripheral availability, temperature grade, revision status, errata, and boot or programming compatibility. The 64 KB target provides 22K × 24 words, while higher-density family members can require different linker settings and firmware memory maps.
