PIC^® performance extended to 32-bit

The PIC® family of microcontrollers now includes 32-bit parts that add more performance and memory while maintaining pin, peripheral and development compatibility with Microchip’s 16-bit families.

The PIC32™ family operates at up to 72MHz and offers up to 512kB of Flash and 32kB of RAM. The PIC32 family also includes a rich set of integrated peripherals, including a variety of communication peripherals and a 16-bit Parallel Master Port (PMP) that supports additional memory and displays.

The PIC32’s high-performance core can achieve 1.5DMIPS/MHz operation, due to its efficient instruction-set architecture, 5-stage pipeline, hardware multiply/accumulate unit and up to eight sets of 32 core registers. In addition, to reduce memory requirements, the PIC32 supports the MIPS16e™ 16-bit ISA, enabling code-size reductions of up to 40%. The PIC32 family is based on the industry-standard MIPS32® architecture, which also enables high performance, low power consumption and fast interrupt response.
