Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Nov 19, 2009

Microchip has announced two new families of 16-bit PIC24F microcontrollers (MCUs) - the PIC24FJ64GA104 and the PIC24FJ64GB004.

The MCUs feature Nanowatt XLP extreme low power technology, small packages and Mtouch capacitive touch sensing.

Microchip's Nanowatt XLP technology provides low sleep currents, with current consumption down to 20nA in Deep Sleep mode.

The PIC24FJ64GA104 general-purpose family features Nanowatt XLP technology, 16 MIPS performance, 32 or 64 Kbytes of Flash, 8 Kbytes of RAM, a capacitive touch sensing peripheral, real-time clock and calendar (RTCC), a 10-bit A/D, and the ability to reconfigure digital I/O pins via Peripheral Pin Select.

The PIC24FJ64GB004 family builds on these features with an easy-to-use and complete Full-Speed USB 2.0 Peripheral, Embedded Host and OTG solution.

Both families are available in 28-pin QFN, SOIC and PDIP packages, and 44-pin QFN and TQFP packages.

Applications span the industrial, commercial, medical and automotive markets, including remote controls, meters, monitors, timers and sensors.
