PIC24FJ256GB412T-I/BG

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC24FJ256GB412T-I/BG is a 16-bit microcontroller from the PIC24FJ256GA412/GB412 family, featuring a modified Harvard architecture and up to 16 MIPS operation at 32 MHz. It includes 256 KB of Flash program memory and 16 KB of data RAM. The device integrates USB On-The-Go (OTG), a cryptographic engine, an LCD controller, and extensive analog peripherals including a 10/12-bit ADC with up to 24 channels. It operates within a voltage range of 2.0V to 3.6V and supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Dual partition flash memory enables live updates and simultaneous programming while executing code from the other partition.
• Integrated USB OTG module supports dual-role host or peripheral operations with high-precision PLL.
• Hardware cryptographic engine performs NIST standard encryption without CPU intervention.
• Extreme low-power features include Deep Sleep mode and VBAT backup for minimal current consumption.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Applications requiring secure data transmission via hardware encryption
• Systems utilizing USB On-The-Go connectivity for host or peripheral roles
• Devices incorporating LCD displays with real-time clock/calendar functionality
• Battery-powered systems requiring extended standby times through deep sleep modes

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the '-I' designation corresponds to the industrial temperature range required for your application environment. Ensure the BGA package type matches your PCB footprint design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this model over the GA series if USB On-The-Go capabilities are necessary. Consider the GB412 variant specifically for its 121-pin BGA package availability compared to TQFP options. Evaluate the need for the cryptographic engine and large flash capacity against simpler, lower-cost PIC24F variants if security features are not required.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the PIC24FJ256GA412/GB412 family of 16-bit eXtreme Low-Power Microcontrollers. The GB4xx sub-series distinguishes itself by including USB OTG functionality, whereas the GA4xx series lacks this interface. Both share identical core processing speeds, memory sizes, and peripheral sets excluding the USB module.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

PIC24FJ256GA412-I/BG serves as a functional substitute if USB OTG is not required. For pin-compatible replacements within the same package, consider other members of the PIC24FJ256GB412 family with differing memory sizes.
