Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PIC24F16KA301-E/SS qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology
• Series: PIC® XLP™ 24F
• Core Processor: PIC
• Core Size: 16-Bit
• Speed: 32MHz
• Voltage Supply: 1.8V ~ 3.6V
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 20-SSOP (0.209", 5.30mm Width)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (TA)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Connectivity: I2C, IrDA, LINbus, SPI, UART/USART
• Peripherals: Brown-out Detect/Reset, HLVD, POR, PWM, WDT
• Number of I/O: 18

Differentiating Parameter:

• Program Memory Size: 16KB (5.5K x 24) versus 8KB (2.75K x 24)

The substitute part provides doubled program memory capacity while maintaining identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. This configuration allows for applications requiring expanded code storage without redesign of hardware interfaces or power delivery systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PIC24F08KL301-E/SS and PIC24F16KA301-E/SS maintain active product status with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, ECCN 3A991A2). The PIC24F16KA301-E/SS is suitable for applications where the original 8KB program memory allocation is insufficient, provided that the application firmware is compatible with the PIC24F16KA301 instruction set and memory architecture. No hardware redesign is required for substitution, as both devices share identical pinout, voltage specifications, and thermal operating ranges. Selection between these parts should be based solely on application memory requirements and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PIC24F16KA301-E/SS be used as a direct replacement for the PIC24F08KL301-E/SS?

A: Yes, the PIC24F16KA301-E/SS is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both devices share identical pinout, voltage supply range (1.8V ~ 3.6V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), and 20-SSOP package dimensions. No PCB modifications are required.

Q: What are the memory differences between these parts?

A: The PIC24F08KL301-E/SS provides 8KB program memory, 256 x 8 EEPROM, and 1K x 8 RAM. The PIC24F16KA301-E/SS provides 16KB program memory, 512 x 8 EEPROM, and 2K x 8 RAM. The substitute part doubles all memory allocations.
