PIC24F32KA304-E/PT - 32MHz Low-Power 16-Bit MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC24F32KA304-E/PT is an extreme-low-power 16-bit PIC microcontroller operating at up to 32 MHz, with 32 KB of Flash program memory, 2 KB of data RAM, and 512 bytes of data EEPROM in a 44-pin TQFP package measuring 10 mm by 10 mm. It provides 16 MIPS performance and combines a 12-bit ADC, CTMU, three comparators, three PWM channels, seven timers, and an RTCC in a power-conscious design.
A PIC24-series microcontroller is a compact embedded-processing device built around a 16-bit RISC core, program Flash, data RAM, EEPROM, timers, serial interfaces, and mixed-signal peripherals. It belongs to the broader microcontroller hierarchy: MCU -> embedded controller -> programmable semiconductor. The PIC24F32KA304 family is positioned for battery-powered and power-constrained products where responsive computation must coexist with low standby energy.
The PIC24F32KA304-E/PT combines eXtreme Low Power features with integrated DSBOR, DSWDT, and an RTCC that can operate in Deep Sleep mode. These resources support systems that must monitor time, maintain state, and periodically wake to service sensors without continuously running the CPU. Its 32 KB Flash capacity provides 11K by 24 words, while 2 KB of RAM and 512 bytes of EEPROM support working data and retained configuration.
The mixed-signal resources make the device suitable for direct sensor acquisition and control. The 12-bit ADC has 16 channels, while CTMU can support capacitive-touch and analog measurement functions. Three comparators, three PWM outputs, and seven timers enable motor, lighting, alarm, and periodic-control functions. A 32 MHz clock and 16 MIPS execution capability allow the core to service multiple real-time tasks without requiring a larger processor class.
Typical applications include portable environmental monitors, industrial sensing nodes, battery-powered instrumentation, medical-device accessories, connected equipment, and compact control panels. The -E/PT ordering option identifies the specified Microchip device in a 44-pin TQFP package, while the family’s low-power peripherals help reduce the duty cycle of designs that spend substantial time asleep.
Designers should size decoupling capacitors, preserve the required oscillator and reset connections, and verify every analog channel against the datasheet pinout and analog-channel availability. Production firmware should use the watchdog and brown-out resources conservatively, and low-power design should account for wake sources, timer intervals, and the energy consumed during each active measurement cycle.
This page combines verified manufacturer and distributor information, practical low-power design guidance, an exact availability-based pricing reference, and transparent drop-in comparison options. It also distinguishes directly related family members from options that require firmware, memory-capacity, or temperature-range review before substitution.
