The PIC24FJ ‘GU4/GL4’ family offers up to 512KB of Dual Partition Flash supporting real-time Over-The-Air (OTA) updates and EEPROM Emulation. Along with a number of core independent peripherals (CIPs), it includes a full speed USB and a segmented LCD controller with animation support. With high memory and sleep current down to a few hundreds of nA while retaining the complete RAM content, this family is perfect for IoT, Industrial, Consumer and Medical 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 protection schemes such as Flash OTP by ICSP™ Write Inhibit which allows the entire Flash to be configured as One-Time-Programmable (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 with AEC Q100 Grade 1 qualification, this family is also well suited for Automotive and Industrial applications. A range of hardware safety features on this family facilitates your application’s compliance with safety requirements. With a high-level of analog integration, this family simplifies sensor interfacing and analog measurement, while reducing the overall system BoM cost.
