            PIC24F 16-bit Microcontroller
                    Microchip's PIC24F 16-bit MCU features an integrated hardware crypto module and eXtreme low power (XLP)
    

Image of Microchip's PIC24 F 16-Bit Microcontroller Microchip's 16-bit, PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC® digital signal controllers provide designers with an easy upgrade path from 8-bit PIC® microcontrollers and a cost-effective option to 32-bit MCUs. The broad product line includes everything from eXtreme low power microcontrollers to high-performance digital signal controllers. With single-cycle execution, deterministic interrupt response, zero overhead looping, and fast DMA, the dsPIC family also adds a single-cycle 16 x 16 MAC and 40-bit accumulators. These are ideal for math intensive applications like motor control and digital power.

Combined with hardware and free software, these 16-bit products are ideal for designs including high-efficiency motor control, platinum-rated digital power supplies, and low power for longer battery life in portable applications. Integrated touch and display features help lower costs and simplify designs for user interfaces including mTouch™ sensing, graphics, and segmented display drivers. Specialized peripherals and software for connectivity such as USB, CAN, and wireless protocols make it easy to communicate with other systems.

Features

Cryptographic engine
- Performs NIST standard encryption / decryption operations without CPU intervention
- DES / 3DES cipher support, with up to three unique keys for 3DES
- Supports ECB, CBC, OFB, CTR, and CFB128 modes
- Programmatically secure OTP array for key storage
- True random number generation

Extreme low-power
- Multiple power management options for extreme power reduction
  - VBAT allows for lowest power consumption on backup battery (with or without RTCC)
  - Deep sleep allows near total power-down with the ability to wake-up on external triggers
  - Sleep and idle modes selectively shut down peripherals and/or core for substantial power reduction and fast wake-up
  - Doze mode allows CPU to run at a lower clock speed than peripherals
- Alternate clock modes allow on-the-fly switching to a lower clock speed for selective power reduction
- Extreme low-power current consumption for deep sleep
  - WDT: 650 nA at 2 V (typ.)
  - RTCC: 650 nA at 32 kHz, 2 V (typ.)
  - Deep sleep current, 60 nA (typ.)
- 160 µA / MHz in run mode

Dual-partition Flash with live update capability
- Capable of holding two independent software applications, including bootloader
- Permits simultaneous programming of one partition while executing application code from the other
- Allows run-time switching between active partitions

CPU
- Modified Harvard architecture
- Up to 16 MIPS operation at 32 MHz
- 8 MHz internal oscillator:
  - 96 MHz PLL option
  - Multiple clock divide options
