The PIC24FJ64GL305-E/M4 with 16-bit Microcontrollers - MCU 16-bit 16 MIPS 64KB ECC Flash 8KB RAM LCD XLP E-Temp 48-pin is manufactured by Microchip and is a high-performance, low-power 16-bit microcontroller. With integrated ECC (error correction code) flash, this MCU features an extended operating temperature range as well as low power consumption for battery-driven communication devices and portable applications. The low pin count of 48 pins allows for small PCB design, providing a smaller form factor without sacrificing system performance. It features 64KB ECC flash memory, 8KB RAM, up to 16 MIPS of instruction execution rate, 4 Timer Modules with Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) and Enhanced Capture Mode (EC), low power consumption, and support for LCD display modules. This device also includes high current output drivers specifically designed to drive LEDs, a brown-out reset to help protect the host system from unexpected power surges, and optional integrated cryptographic acceleration for secure applications.
