• PIC24F16KA101
• PIC24F08KA102
• PIC24F16KA102
The PIC24F16KA102 family introduces a new line of
extreme low-power Microchip devices: a 16-bit micro-
controller family with a broad peripheral feature set and
enhanced computational performance. It also offers a
new migration option for those high-performance appli-
cations, which may be outgrowing their 8-bit platforms,
but do not require the numerical processing power of a
digital signal processor.

All of the devices in the PIC24F16KA102 family
incorporate a range of features that can significantly
reduce power consumption during operation. Key
items include:
• On-the-Fly Clock Switching: The device clock
• Doze Mode Operation: When timing-sensitive

The PIC24F16KA102 family offers five different
oscillator options, allowing users a range of choices in
developing application hardware. These include:
• Two Crystal modes using crystals or ceramic
• Two External Clock modes offering the option of a
