PIC24F Family Reference Manual
This reference manual explains the operation of the PIC24F microcontroller family
architecture and peripheral modules. The specifics of each device family are discussed
in the individual family’s device data sheet. Users are specifically directed to
Section 11. “Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU)” (available individually as
DS39724) for a detailed discussion of this module, which is at the heart of the
capacitive touch sense demonstration.
This useful manual is on-line in sections at the Technical Documentation section of the
Microchip web site. Refer to these sections for detailed information on PIC24F device
operation.
Device Data Sheets and Flash Programming Specifications
Refer to the appropriate device data sheet for device-specific information and
specifications. Also, refer to the appropriate device Flash Programming Specification
for information on instruction sets and firmware development. These files may be found
on the Microchip web site or from your local sales office.
User may want to specifically refer to the “PIC24FJ256GB110 Family Data Sheet”
(DS39897) for information on the PIC24F microcontroller used in this application.
MPLAB
User’s Guide (DS51317)
This document helps you use Microchip Technology’s language tools for PIC24F
devices based on GNU technology. The language tools discussed are the MPLAB
ASM30 Assembler, MPLAB LINK30 Linker, MPLAB LIB30 Archiver/Librarian and other
16-bit device utilities.
MPLAB
Libraries (DS51284)
This document helps you use Microchip’s MPLAB C30 C compiler to develop your
application. MPLAB C30 is a GNU-based language tool, based on source code from the
Free Software Foundation (FSF). For more information about FSF, see www.fsf.org.
