PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR - 256KB Flash LCD MCU, 64-QFN | Microchip
MPN: PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR ✓ Hoạt độngPIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR Tóm tắt
A 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip processor with an internal data path width of 16 bits, optimized for embedded control applications that require more computational precision and code density than 8-bit parts while consuming less power than 32-bit devices. The PIC24FJ GL4 family belongs to the broader Microchip MCU taxonomy: PIC24F -> PIC24 -> 16-bit MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor. These devices are commonly used in applications requiring low active and sleep currents, hardware USB, and a built-in segmented LCD driver.
Key features of the PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR include a 32 MHz maximum CPU clock (16 MIPS), 54 digital I/O pins, hardware USB 2.0 full-speed transceiver, 17-bit x 17-bit single-cycle hardware multiplier, and a 32-bit by 16-bit hardware divider. The device also integrates core-independent peripherals (CIPs) such as configurable logic cells, multiple PWM/SCCP/MCCP timers, 12-bit ADC with up to 30 channels, comparators, and a segmented LCD controller supporting up to 512 segments.
The 'GL4' architecture is built on a modified Harvard design with a 24-bit instruction word and 16-bit data path. Dual-partition Flash memory (Live Update Flash) enables real-time Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware upgrades without device reset, supporting both bootloader and EEPROM emulation use cases. Power management features include multiple low-power sleep modes, a low-power RTCC, and operation from 2.0V to 3.6V, making the part well-suited to battery-powered and energy-harvesting applications.
Typical applications include battery-powered human-machine interface (HMI) panels with LCD, automotive dashboards and instrument clusters, IoT sensor nodes with USB diagnostic interfaces, e-paper/epaper thermostats, and medical glucose/patient monitors. The combination of low power, integrated LCD, and USB makes it a strong fit for handheld industrial and consumer devices.
When designing with this device, allocate sufficient PCB area for the 64-QFN (9x9 mm) exposed pad, which must be soldered to a ground copper pour for proper thermal dissipation. Verify that your debugger/programmer (e.g., PICkit 4 or MPLAB ICD 4) supports the GL4 family before committing to the platform.

Ứng dụng tiêu biểu
PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR phù hợp cho 6 Áp dụngs: Battery-Powered HMI with Segmented LCD, Automotive Instrument Cluster, IoT Sensor Node with USB Diagnostic, Industrial Process Meter, Medical Patient Monitor, Smart Thermostat with E-Paper Front Panel.
Battery-Powered HMI with Segmented LCD
The PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR's integrated segmented LCD controller (up to 512 segments) and 2.0-3.6V supply enable direct single-cell Li-ion or 2xAA operation. The on-chip charge pump and contrast bias simplify BOM by removing external LCD voltage rails. With 256KB ECC Flash and 32KB RAM, a full graphical menu system, multilingual strings, and USB diagnostics fit comfortably in code space.
Được đề xuất
Automotive Instrument Cluster
AEC-Q100 qualification and the -40C to +125C automotive temperature grade make this part suitable for automotive dashboards and instrument clusters. The GL4 peripheral set - including 12-bit ADC, PWM timers, and segmented LCD - drives analog gauges and digital odometers without external ASICs. ECC Flash and dual-partition OTA support enable safe in-field firmware updates for service campaigns.
Được đề xuất
IoT Sensor Node with USB Diagnostic
Full-speed USB 2.0 host/device, 32 MIPS core, and the GL4's low-power sleep modes make this MCU a strong fit for IoT sensor hubs that periodically attach to USB for firmware upload or data dump. The 256KB ECC Flash stores over-the-air (OTA) update images and historical telemetry buffers. USB OTG support enables peripherals such as keyboards, RFID readers, and serial bridges.
Được đề xuất
Industrial Process Meter
The 12-bit ADC with up to 30 channels, configurable logic cells (CIPs), and PWM peripherals enable direct connection to 4-20mA loops, thermocouples, and valve actuators. ECC Flash and the -40C to +125C range support operation in factory floors, while 256KB Flash holds Modbus/DNP3 protocol stacks and calibration data. The integrated LCD reduces panel BOM cost in field-mounted meters.
Được đề xuất
Medical Patient Monitor
The PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR's low-power modes and integrated segmented LCD fit portable patient monitors such as blood-pressure cuffs and pulse-oximeter handhelds. ECC Flash protects against bit errors in continuous-monitoring use cases. The 32KB RAM buffers several seconds of waveform data while the USB interface streams results to a clinician's tablet during follow-up visits.
Được đề xuất
Smart Thermostat with E-Paper Front Panel
The wide 2.0-3.6V operating range and ultra-low sleep current (down to a few hundred nA with RTCC) suit mains-or-battery-powered thermostats. The integrated segmented LCD controller can drive an e-paper front panel directly, removing the need for a separate display controller IC. USB OTG enables installers to upload HVAC schedules via a USB stick in the field.

Ghi chú thiết kế
The 64-pin QFN (9x9 mm) package features a center-exposed thermal pad (EP) that MUST be soldered to a ground copper pour for proper thermal and electrical performance. Per Microchip QFN PCB design guidelines, the EP land should be a continuous copper area with at least 8 thermal vias (0.3 mm drill, 0.5 mm pitch) connecting to inner ground planes. Failing to solder the EP can cause logic errors, latch-up, and out-of-spec ADC readings under load.
Place a 1 uF X7R ceramic bypass capacitor within 5 mm of every VDD pin, plus a 10 uF bulk capacitor at the package supply entry. The PIC24FJ256GL406-E/MR operates from 2.0-3.6V; when USB is enabled the internal 3.3V regulator (VUSB pin) requires an external 4.7 uF capacitor on VUSB to meet USB 2.0 full-speed VBUS droop requirements. Add a ferrite bead or 10 ohm resistor between VBUS and VUSB if VBUS may exceed 5V transient.
Route the 32.768 kHz SOSC crystal traces symmetrically and keep them under 5 mm, surrounded by a ground guard trace. For high-speed USB, route the D+/D- traces as a 90-ohm differential pair with length matching to within 150 mil and continuous ground reference below. Avoid placing any digital signal traces parallel to D+/D- to prevent common-mode noise from coupling into the USB bus.
Configuration bits must be programmed correctly: disable JTAG if not used (default-enabled on some GL4 variants), set the watchdog timeout appropriate for your application, and configure the SOSC as primary RTCC source if low-power sleep modes are required. Mistakenly leaving JTAG enabled can cause a 'no-start' fault if TCK/TMS/TDI float during power-up. The dual-partition OTA feature requires the FBS boot config to be set to dual-partition mode.
