PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT Overview
What is a PIC24H microcontroller? A PIC24H is a 16-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller from Microchip, sitting in the PIC24F > PIC24H > dsPIC33F performance ladder. It uses a modified RISC core with a 16-bit instruction word, separate program and data buses, hardware multiply/divide, a deterministic interrupt controller, and zero-overhead hardware loops, giving deterministic real-time response that 8-bit MCUs cannot match while retaining low power consumption.
Key features of the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT include 64 KB (22K x 24) self-programmable Flash with Flash security, 8 KB SRAM, 16-channel 10-bit ADC at 500 ksps, two UART, two SPI, one I2C, one ECAN, and a 6-channel Motor Control PWM. It supports 3.0 V to 3.6 V single-supply operation, industrial -40C to +85C temperature range, and JTAG/ICSP in-circuit programming/debug.
Architecturally, the PIC24HJ64GP210A is pin-compatible with the dsPIC33F family, allowing straightforward migration when DSP or higher MIPS is required. The peripheral pin-select feature simplifies PCB routing, while DMA offloads repetitive data moves from the CPU, leaving bandwidth for control loops.
Typical applications include industrial motor control (BLDC, PMSM, ACIM), digital power conversion, factory automation, automotive body electronics, multi-loop PID control, and high-speed sensor interfaces. With 40 MIPS and DMA, it can service multiple high-rate control loops concurrently.
When designing with this part, use Microchip's MPLAB X IDE with the XC16 compiler. Place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor near every VDD/VSS pair, and follow the package land pattern in the datasheet for the 100-pin TQFP.

Typical Applications
PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT is suitable for 7 applications: Industrial Motor Control (BLDC/PMSM FOC), Digital Power Conversion (SMPS Control), Automotive Body Electronics, Factory Automation and PLC I/O Modules, High-Speed Sensor Aggregation Hubs, Solar Inverter MPPT Controllers, Medical Monitoring Edge Nodes.
Industrial Motor Control (BLDC/PMSM FOC)
The PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT drives field-oriented control of BLDC and PMSM motors with its 6-channel 16-bit Motor Control PWM, 4-channel 10-bit ADC at 500 ksps, and 8-channel DMA that streams current samples into RAM without CPU intervention. Its 40 MIPS throughput executes a complete FOC torque loop in under 10 us, leaving bandwidth for speed regulation and the host UART command interface. DMA offload frees the core to focus on the Park/Clarke transforms, and the quadrature encoder interface hardware-tracks rotor position. Compared with 8-bit MCUs that often struggle at PWM frequencies above 20 kHz, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT comfortably supports 50-100 kHz PWM center-aligned switching.
Recommended
Digital Power Conversion (SMPS Control)
For digitally controlled switch-mode power supplies, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT provides 40 MIPS throughput to run peak current-mode control loops at 200-500 kHz switching frequencies, while its 10-bit ADC with dedicated sampling channels measures inductor current and output voltage with deterministic latency. The ECAN module enables multi-module paralleling or telemetry in modular UPS and telecom rectifier designs. DMA-driven ADC-to-PWM pipelines minimize loop delay below 1 us, which is essential for converter stability under transients. Compared with PIC24F parts that typically run at 16 MIPS, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT delivers 2-3x faster regulation bandwidth for the same PCB layout.
Recommended
Automotive Body Electronics
Although not AEC-Q100 qualified itself, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT suits non-safety automotive body modules (window lifters, seat controllers, ambient lighting) where the 100-pin TQFP exposes ample I/O for H-bridge drivers, LIN/CAN nodes, and lighting channels. The 6-channel PWM drives LED arrays with hardware fault shutdown, and the ECAN module joins the vehicle bus. Wide -40C to +85C operation handles under-dash environments. The choice vs automotive-grade dsPIC33F parts is cost: where the design does not require AEC-Q100 certification, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT delivers the same peripheral set at noticeably lower unit price.
Recommended
Factory Automation and PLC I/O Modules
In PLC digital and analog I/O modules, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT handles encoder counting via its 32-bit timers, drives isolated RS-485 via UART, and digitizes analog signals through its 16-channel ADC. The 8 KB SRAM buffers incoming Modbus RTU frames, while 64 KB Flash stores ladder-logic or IEC 61131-3 runtimes. The ECAN module acts as a backplane interface for distributed I/O racks. Compared with 8-bit AVR/PIC16 alternatives, the 16-bit core executes floating-point math 5-10x faster, simplifying scaling and PID routines in software.
Recommended
High-Speed Sensor Aggregation Hubs
The PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT's 8-channel DMA combined with two SPI ports makes it ideal for aggregating sensor data from multiple SPI/I2C sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors) without CPU intervention. The DMA controller streams samples to RAM while the CPU executes sensor fusion math, achieving deterministic 1 kHz-10 kHz fusion rates. Two UART channels and ECAN allow telemetry offload to upstream processors. Compared with PIC24FJ parts that lack DMA, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT offloads high-rate sensor streams, leaving the core free for IMU/INS algorithms.
Recommended
Solar Inverter MPPT Controllers
In photovoltaic string inverters, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT implements perturb-and-observe or incremental-conductance MPPT with the 10-bit ADC sampling PV voltage and current at 100 kHz, while the 6-channel PWM drives the DC-DC boost or DC-AC stage at 20-100 kHz. The 64 KB Flash stores MPPT state machines, fault handlers, and grid-sync logic. ECAN enables daisy-chained module-to-module telemetry in modular inverter designs. Compared with dsPIC33F parts, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT costs less and keeps headroom available for grid-tie algorithms in firmware.
Recommended
Medical Monitoring Edge Nodes
Non-life-critical medical edge devices (patient monitors, infusion peripherals, point-of-care instruments) leverage the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT for ADC-driven vital-sign sampling, UART-driven bedside display communication, and DMA-backed sample buffering. The 8 KB SRAM holds several seconds of ECG/spO2 traces, and 64 KB Flash stores the patient-side protocol stack. ECAN links bedside modules to the central monitor. Compared with PIC24FJ parts, the 40 MIPS throughput processes 1-ksps bio-impedance and pulse-oximetry math in real time, and pin-compatibility with dsPIC33F allows a single PCB to scale from basic to DSP-grade processing.

Key Differentiators
- Highest peripheral density in PIC24H family with 100-pin TQFP (vs PIC24HJ64GP206A-I/PT)
- Pin-to-pin upgrade path to dsPIC33F DSP engine without PCB rework (vs PIC24FJ64GA010-I/PT)
- Industrial temp grade (-40C to +85C) standard with extended option (vs PIC24HJ64GP210A-E/PT)
Design Notes
Place a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of every VDD/VSS pair on the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT; the 100-pin TQFP exposes roughly 8 VDD/VSS pairs that must each be decoupled. Add a single bulk 10 uF tantalum or ceramic at the package supply pin. According to the Microchip datasheet, AVDD (if tied to VDD) must share the same ferrite-bead-isolated rail to keep ADC reference clean. AVDD must not exceed VDD by more than 0.3 V at any time, or the analog block latches up.
Estimated: At 40 MIPS CPU + active peripherals, the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT draws up to ~70 mA from 3.3 V, dissipating roughly 230 mW. The 100-pin TQFP has a theta_JA of approximately 45 C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC test PCB, giving a junction-to-ambient rise of ~10 C at full load, well within industrial -40C to +85C operation. A continuous copper pour under the exposed pad and a thermally connected ground plane are still required to avoid hot spots during sustained ADC + PWM switching activity.
The 100-pin TQFP (PT) uses 0.5 mm pitch; follow IPC-7351 nominal land patterns with 0.30 mm pad width and 1.50 mm pad length to ensure reliable paste stencil printing. Route the analog AN0-AN23 traces as short as possible, away from PWM outputs and digital switching signals, and guard the analog ground return with a separate analog ground island that joins the digital ground at a single point near the AVDD ferrite bead. The ICSP/ICD pins (PGED1, PGEC1, PGED2, PGEC2) must be accessible in production for in-circuit programming - do not route signal traces over them.
Do not leave the MCLR pin floating; tie it to VDD through a 10 kohm pull-up and a 100 nF cap to ground for reset noise immunity. The oscillator pins OSC1/OSC2 must use the crystal manufacturer's recommended load capacitors (typically 15-33 pF) - deviating causes frequency error and UART baud-rate drift. Always enable the watchdog timer in firmware for unattended industrial deployments, and configure the unused I/O pins as outputs driving low to minimize current draw. Finally, read the PIC24HJ64GP210A errata (DS80369) before locking firmware; some revisions have specific ADC and DMA workarounds.
For SPI buses above 10 MHz, place 33 ohm series damping resistors at the SDO/SDI/SCK outputs of the PIC24HJ64GP210A-I/PT to reduce ringing on long PCB traces. The ECAN bus must use a twisted-pair cable with 120 ohm termination at each end per ISO 11898, and the MCP2551/MCP2561 transceiver output slew rate must match the bus length. UART lines longer than 30 cm require RS-485 transceivers (e.g. MAX485) instead of direct connection. PWM outputs driving gate drivers should be kept under 50 mm to prevent capacitive coupling into ADC inputs.
Compliance Information
