Microchip Migration Infographic
16-Bit PIC 24 MCUs enhance system capabilities by migrating from 8-Bit MCUs
Next shown is: Reasons to upgrade
- More code / data space
- Faster peripherals
- Additional system capability
Another key point shared: Why migrating is easy and efficient
Shown is the Microchip PIC24HJ256GP610 MCU with copy points off to the side
- In the same product ecosystem (family icon shown)
- No additional money (icon) or time (icon) investment in tools
- Preserves existing code
- Gets you to market quicker (sprinter icon shown)
