PIC32MX120F032C-V/TL

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC32MX120F032C-V/TL is a 32-bit microcontroller from the PIC32MX1XX family, featuring a MIPS32 M4K core operating up to 50 MHz. It provides 32 KB of Flash program memory and 8 KB of data RAM within a 36-pin VTLA package. The device supports an operating voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V and functions across industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Key peripherals include a 10-bit ADC with 1 Msps rate, USB 2.0 OTG controller, four DMA channels, and multiple communication interfaces.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates a MIPS32 M4K core with MIPS16e mode for code size efficiency.
• Includes a Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) supporting capacitive touch sensing.
• Features a USB 2.0-compliant Full-speed On-The-Go (OTG) controller.
• Provides Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for flexible function remapping.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust analog input processing
• USB-enabled embedded devices needing host or peripheral connectivity
• Applications utilizing capacitive touch interface technologies
• General-purpose microcontroller designs in constrained form factors

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V/TL' corresponds to the 36-pin VTLA package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm that the 'C' variant designation aligns with the required pin count and peripheral availability compared to other family members. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the VTLA package type before finalizing procurement orders.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of processing power and peripheral density is needed in a compact 36-pin footprint. The inclusion of CTMU makes it suitable for touch applications without external sensors. Consider the 50 MHz operational speed and available I/O count against project requirements. Evaluate the USB OTG capability if direct device-to-device communication is necessary.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC32MX1XX general-purpose microcontroller family, designed for cost-sensitive applications. It shares architectural similarities with the PIC32MX2XX series but lacks certain USB-specific features found in the latter. The device offers a scalable solution within the broader PIC32 ecosystem, allowing migration between different memory sizes and pin counts while maintaining software compatibility.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

PIC32MX120F032B-I/SP: Different package (PDIP-28) and lower pin count. PIC32MX120F032D-I/TL: Larger 44-pin package with additional I/O options. Verify pinout compatibility and physical space constraints when substituting these variants.
