Microchip Technology PIC24FJ GL 16-Bit Microcontrollers

Microchip Technology PIC24FJ GL 16-Bit Microcontrollers are eXtreme Low-Power MCUs designed to enable the development of an array of innovative applications, both with and without displays. Packed with many Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that can function in power-saving modes, these MCUs offer ultra-low-power operation for battery-powered and power-conscious IoT designs. A versatile on-chip segmented LCD controller makes the integration of displays in low-power applications easier. These devices also offer Retention Sleep, a low-power mode with essential circuits being powered from a separate low-voltage regulator. This low-power mode supports the continuous operation of the low-power, on-chip Real-Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC), making it possible for an application to keep time while the device is otherwise asleep. The low-power features of the Microchip PIC24FJ GL MCUs enable extended battery life in portable applications.

The PIC24FJ GL MCUs are offered with 64Kbytes or 128Kbytes of flash memory and are available in 28-pin, 36-pin, 48-pin, and 64-pin packages. These devices are AEC Q100 Grade 1 qualified, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making them ideal for automotive applications.
