PIC24-Slide2

This chart gives a quick, graphical view of Microchip’s four 16-bit families. The lower band indicates a continuation from the 8-bit microcontroller line into the realm of 16-bit controllers. At the beginning of the band, with 16 MIPS, is PIC24F, our entry level 16-bit product. The PIC24F provides a performance jump from the PIC18 microcontrollers with minimal cost impact. Next on the microcontroller band is the PIC24H - our highest performance 16-bit microcontroller with about 40 MIPS of performance. The upper band adds our Digital Signal Controller, or DSC product line with up to 40 MIPS performance and DSP instructions. While sharing the same architecture as the PIC24 MCUs, the added DSP instructions make these an ideal choice for applications requiring noise cancellation, voice recognition and motor control.
