The PIC24FJ ‘GL’ family of low power microcontrollers pack core independent peripherals (CIPs) and extend core independent animation to the segmented LCD driver. With sleep current down to a few hundreds of nA while retaining the complete RAM content, the ‘GL’ family is perfect for extending your battery life in any portable applications.
Supported in the MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) tool, the development time gets significantly reduced by allowing you to configure the devices and libraries with just a few clicks. To address the evolving focus on safety and security, these MCUs offer hardware safety features and secure protection schemes, simplifying design of smart, safe, secure and connected applications. These MCUs feature memory protection schemes such as Flash ICSP™ Write Inhibit which allows Flash to be configured as One-Time-Programmabl
e (OTP) memory and CodeGuard™ Flash Security which facilitates to segment the memory and implement access restrictions. These features together with our CryptoAuthentication
™ chips enable you to implement security in your applications.
Offering an extended operating temperature of up to 125°C, this family is ideally suited for robust applications such as automotive, industrial and consumer applications. A range of hardware safety features on this family facilitates your application to function reliably. With a high-level of analog integration, this family simplifies sensor interfacing and analog measurement, while reducing the overall system BoM cost.
