PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL Overview
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, non-volatile program memory (Flash), volatile working memory (RAM), and a rich set of peripheral interfaces into one package. The PIC32MX110F016C belongs to the broader category of 32-bit microcontrollers, which sit architecturally above 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs and below microprocessor units (MPUs) that require external memory. Within Microchip's portfolio it occupies the low-pin-count, low-memory tier of the PIC32MX family, suitable for cost-sensitive applications that still demand 32-bit performance, DSP capability, and modern peripherals.
Key features include two I2S/SPI modules for audio codec interfacing, Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for flexible signal routing, a Parallel Master Port (PMP) for graphics or memory-mapped peripherals, and a Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) that supports mTouch capacitive touch sensing. Integrated connectivity includes I2C, IrDA, LINbus, SPI, UART/USART, and PMP. On-chip system resources comprise Brown-out Detect/Reset, DMA, POR, PWM, and a Watchdog Timer, enabling robust single-chip designs in industrial and automotive environments.
The M4K core delivers 1.56 DMIPS/MHz and supports the MIPS32 instruction set including DSP ASE extensions, allowing efficient audio decoding and signal-processing workloads at modest clock rates. The 2.3V-3.6V single-supply range simplifies integration with 3.3V analog and digital peripherals, while the VTLA-EP package exposes a thermal pad for improved heat spreading during continuous full-load operation.
Typical applications include automotive body and comfort modules, consumer audio accessories with I2S codecs, low-cost HMI panels using PMP-driven LCDs, capacitive-touch user interfaces leveraging CTMU, and LIN-bus slave nodes. The AEC-Q100 qualification makes it a direct fit for in-cabin automotive electronics.
When designing with this device, observe the 3.3V supply limit, use PPS to remap peripherals to convenient package pins, and follow Microchip's PIC32MX1xx/2xx family reference manual for oscillator and PLL configuration. Decouple VDD/AVDD with 100 nF plus bulk capacitance placed within 5 mm of each pin pair.

Consumer Audio Accessories with I2S Codecs
The PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL integrates two I2S/SPI modules, enabling direct connection to low-cost audio DACs and ADCs such as the Microchip MCP4921 or third-party I2S codecs. The M4K core's DSP ASE extensions allow sample-rate conversion and simple audio effects at 40 MHz without overloading the CPU. With 4 KB SRAM you can buffer a few hundred audio samples for click-pop suppression; the 16 KB Flash holds small DSP kernels and a USB-less audio stack. The 2.3V-3.6V supply aligns directly with codec analog rails. For portable speaker docks and headphone amplifiers, the PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL delivers adequate performance at a BOM cost noticeably below Cortex-M0+ competitors with similar peripherals.
Recommended
Capacitive Touch User Interfaces (mTouch)
The PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL's integrated Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) implements Microchip's mTouch capacitive-touch sensing, supporting buttons, sliders, and wheels without external touch ICs. The CTMU works with the on-chip ADC and PPS-routable timers, so capacitive sensors can be scanned on any available digital I/O pin, simplifying PCB layout. With 16 KB Flash you can host a 16-key touch keyboard plus LED-PWM feedback, and 4 KB SRAM comfortably holds debounce, hysteresis, and slider-calibration state. Designers typically pair the PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL with a small OLED or LED matrix for kitchen appliances, IoT hubs, and industrial control panels where mechanical buttons are unacceptable due to sealing requirements.
Recommended
Low-Cost HMI Panels with Parallel Master Port
The Parallel Master Port (PMP) on the PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL drives character LCDs, small graphical OLEDs, and external parallel peripherals such as SRAM or FPGA configuration buses. PMP operates at the system clock divided, easily sustaining 10 MHz transfers to a 128x64 graphical OLED at 4 fps refresh. With Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) you can relocate PMP to a convenient subset of I/O pins, leaving the rest for buttons or sensors. The 16 KB Flash fits a simple menu framework with 8-10 screens, while 4 KB SRAM holds current screen buffers and input state. This combination targets HMI panels on appliances, point-of-sale terminals, and small instrumentation front panels.
Recommended
LIN-Bus Slave Nodes
The PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL integrates a UART capable of LINbus 2.x master/slave operation through software, and the on-chip DMA offloads byte-handling overhead from the M4K core. Combined with the integrated PWM, Brown-out Detect/Reset, and Watchdog Timer, the device forms a complete LIN slave node in body and chassis networks - controlling mirrors, seats, lighting, or HVAC dampers. The V-temp grade and AEC-Q100 qualification are required by most OEM automotive specs. With 16 KB Flash you can implement the LIN 2.2 specification plus diagnostic services; the 4 KB SRAM holds a small command queue. The exposed thermal pad of the VTLA-36 package simplifies PCB layout in space-constrained door-module enclosures.
Recommended
Industrial Sensor Aggregators
The PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL is well-suited as a low-cost sensor aggregator in industrial 4-20 mA loop replacements, Modbus-RTU edge nodes, and small process-control sub-assemblies. With I2C, SPI, and UART available simultaneously through PPS, the MCU can poll multiple digital sensors (temperature, pressure, flow) and forward readings via Modbus or a proprietary UART protocol. The 40 MHz core executes sensor linearization and digital filtering in real time at sub-millisecond rates. The -40C to +105C V-temp rating supports unheated cabinet installations, while the AEC-Q100 qualification provides headroom against temperature excursions. Designers value the PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL's small 5x5 mm VTLA footprint for compact DIN-rail modules.
Recommended
Educational and Hobbyist Development Boards
The PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL's low price (around $2-3 per unit at quantity 100 as of 2026-10-01), 40 MHz performance, and Microchip's free MPLAB X IDE with XC32 compiler make it a frequent choice for student projects and hobbyist prototypes. The PIC32MX1xx/2xx family is supported by Microchip's Harmony and legacy MLA frameworks, with abundant example code for I2S audio, PMP graphics, and CTMU touch. With 16 KB Flash, students can implement full projects such as MP3 players, simple games, and digital signal generators. The VTLA-36 package requires reflow soldering, so most educational kits use the through-hole SPDIP variants in the same family (PIC32MX110F016B-I/SP).

Key Differentiators
- AEC-Q100 automotive qualification with V-temp -40C to +105C (vs PIC32MX110F016CT-I/TL (industrial grade))
- Lowest-cost 32-bit Microchip MCU in 36-pin VTLA with PPS and CTMU (vs PIC32MX210F016C-V/TL)
- Dedicated automotive temperature variant from Microchip (not a generic industrial part relabeled) (vs Generic Cortex-M0+ competitor in 36-pin QFN)
Design Notes
The PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL operates from a single 2.3V-3.6V supply. Place a 100 nF X7R decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of each VDD/AVDD pin pair, plus a single 4.7 uF bulk capacitor on the main supply rail. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a thermal pour on the top layer, stitched with vias to an internal ground plane, to keep junction temperature within the -40C to +105C V-temp rating under continuous full-load operation.
Use Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) to remap UART, SPI, I2C, and timers to convenient package pins, but reserve at least one digital I/O pin pair for the CTMU charge/discharge timing path when implementing mTouch capacitive sensing. Keep analog inputs (when ADC channels are enabled) on separate AVDD/AVSS pins routed as differential pairs with a ground guard ring; do not cross digital I/O traces over the analog section to avoid coupling switching noise into ADC conversions.
Do not exceed 3.6V on any VDD/AVDD pin - the PIC32MX110F016C-V/TL has no 5V tolerance. Configure the on-chip Brown-out Reset (BOR) to the lowest voltage threshold that matches your application's minimum VDD to maximize brown-out protection. Always set the configuration bits for the intended oscillator mode before code execution; an unconfigured PLL on power-up can lock the part into an undefined state. Use the Watchdog Timer in safety-critical automotive designs and service it from a dedicated hardware timer, not the main loop, to meet IEC 61508 SIL expectations.
Estimated: at full 40 MHz operation with all peripherals active, active current is approximately 20 mA (<0.5 mA/MHz), giving 0.07 W dissipation at 3.3V. The VTLA-36 exposed pad provides roughly 35 C/W theta-JA on a 4-layer JEDEC EIA/JESD51 test board, yielding a 2.5C junction-temperature rise above ambient - well within the V-temp envelope. For continuous 100% CPU utilization in sealed enclosures above 70C ambient, verify with the manufacturer's PIC32MX1xx/2xx thermal management application note.
