Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Core Architecture: PIC 16-Bit processor
• Memory Configuration: 64KB FLASH program memory and 8K x 8 RAM
• Operating Frequency: 32MHz
• Supply Voltage Range: 2V ~ 3.6V
• I/O Count: 21 pins
• Peripheral Set: I2C, IrDA, SPI, UART/USART connectivity with Brown-out Detect/Reset, LVD, POR, PWM, and WDT
• Package Type: 28-SSOP surface mount
• Pin Pitch and Dimensions: 0.209" width, 5.30mm

The PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS meets all these criteria and is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute relates to packaging format and operating temperature range specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS and PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS are active production devices from Microchip Technology with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Operating Temperature Requirements: The PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS supports an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, while the PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS operates from -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must use the -E/SS variant.

Packaging and Supply Chain: The PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the main part number does not specify a packaging format. Tube packaging may offer advantages for automated assembly processes.

Inventory Availability: Both parts are in active stock. The PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS shows higher inventory levels (1450 pcs) compared to the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS (921 pcs).

Electrical and Functional Equivalence: All core electrical specifications, memory configurations, I/O counts, peripheral sets, and package dimensions are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct functional substitution within the specified temperature operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS replace the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS in all applications?

A: The PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS can replace the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS in applications where the operating temperature does not exceed 85°C. For applications requiring operation between 85°C and 125°C, the -E/SS variant must be used.

Q: Are the pin configurations identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 28-SSOP package with identical pin pitch (0.209", 5.30mm width) and identical I/O pin assignments (21 I/O pins). PCB layouts and footprints are directly compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the -E and -I designations in the part number?

A: The -E and -I designations indicate different temperature grade specifications. The -E grade supports -40°C to 125°C operation, while the -I grade supports -40°C to 85°C operation. All other electrical and functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS and PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The PIC24FJ64GA102-I/SS is supplied in tube packaging. The packaging format for the PIC24FJ64GA102-E/SS is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do these parts have identical memory and peripheral configurations?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 64KB FLASH program memory, 8KB RAM, 32MHz operation, 21 I/O pins, and identical peripheral sets including I2C, IrDA, SPI, UART/USART, Brown-out Detect/Reset, LVD, POR, PWM, and WDT.
