The PIC24F16KM102-I/SP is a 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) manufactured by Microchip. It features 8KB of program memory, 1KB of RAM, 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and Comp. The device uses low-end 16-bit MIPS technology, allowing it to deliver high processing speed and throughput. The MCU also includes Flash memory, EEPROM, UART, I2C, SPI, and Capture/Compare/PWM modules on-board. It also has a 2.0V-3.6V operating voltage range and operates at maximum frequency of 32MHz. This makes the device suitable for applications with tight timing requirements such as motor control, sensing, communications, data acquisition, and digital signal processing.
