The Microchip PIC24FJ64GP202-I/ML is a 16-bit microcontroller with 16 MIPS, 64KB ECC Flash memory, 8KB RAM, and XLP 28-pin package. It is part of the PIC24FJ family of 16-bit microcontrollers which are well known for their low-power consumption, small size, and low price. The 8KB RAM is ideal for storing code and data, while the ECC Flash memory is able to detect and warn units of faulty memory allowing for reliable operation. This specific unit is designed for low-power applications that require a small form factor and contains features such as multiple Timers/Capture/Compare/PWM units, analog peripherals, Communication Interfaces, and DMFC/DMA/Battery Backup functions. Additionally, this microcontroller also has Code Read Protection and Phase-Lock-Loop to help secure user data.
