Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PIC24F04KA201T-I/SO is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Core Architecture: PIC 16-Bit processor
• Memory Configuration: 4KB FLASH program memory (1.375K x 24), 512 x 8 RAM
• Operating Frequency: 32MHz maximum speed
• Voltage Range: 1.8V ~ 3.6V supply compatibility
• I/O Count: 18 I/O pins
• Communication Interfaces: I2C, IrDA, SPI, UART/USART support
• Peripheral Set: Brown-out Detect/Reset, HLVD, POR, PWM, WDT
• Package: 20-SOIC form factor
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The substitute part PIC24F04KA201-I/SO maintains identical electrical and functional specifications across all parameters listed above. The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, and packaging format differs (tube vs. standard).

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PIC24F04KA201-I/SO be used as a direct replacement for PIC24F04KA201T-I/SO?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and functionally identical across all specified parameters. The substitute part is the active production equivalent of the obsolete main part.

Q: Are there differences in pin configuration or package dimensions?

A: No. Both parts use the 20-SOIC package with identical 0.295" (7.50mm) width and pin assignments. PCB layouts are directly compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The main part (PIC24F04KA201T-I/SO) is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The substitute part (PIC24F04KA201-I/SO) maintains active status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical MSL rating of 1 (unlimited).

Q: Is there a difference in packaging format between the two parts?

A: The main part uses standard packaging while the substitute is supplied in tube format. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or functional performance.

Q: Are firmware and software implementations compatible between these parts?

A: Yes. Identical core processor architecture, memory configuration, and peripheral set ensure complete software compatibility.
