September 2005
Microchip Technology announces its first 16-bit microcontroller family - the PIC24 - as well as its second 16-bit digital signal controller (DSC) family - the dsPIC33. The two families offer 49 new 16-bit devices for embedded system designers requiring increased performance, memory and peripherals.
The new 16-bit Mcu and DSC families offer up to 40 MIPS of performance - the industry's highest performance for 16-bit MCUs. For 8-bit MCU users, the PIC24 and ds PIC33F families represent a cost-effective increase in performance, memory and peripherals. The new 16-bit families continue Microchip's seamless migration path from Mid-Range 8-bit MCUs in terms of pin and peripheral compabilitity. See page 23.
