The PIC24FV32KA304-I/PT is a 16-bit 44-pin general purpose Flash Microcontroller with XLP and nanoWatt XLP technology for eXtreme low power consumption. Designed for power constrained and battery powered applications. The microcontroller features unique peripherals like DSBOR, DSWDT and RTCC which run in deep sleep mode for industry leading low power performance. The PIC24FV32KA304 family introduces a new line of extreme low-power Microchip devices. This is a 16-bit microcontroller family with a broad peripheral feature set and enhanced computational performance. The internal oscillator block also provides a stable reference source for the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM). This option constantly monitors the main clock source against a reference signal provided by the internal oscillator and enables the controller to switch to the internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-speed operation or a safe application shutdown.
