Last modified by Microchip on 2025/10/09 12:00

The PIC24F GU/GL/GP family of eXtreme Low Power (XLP) microcontrollers (MCUs) enables the development of an array of innovative applications, both with and without displays. Packed with more than 14 types of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that can function in power-saving modes, the PIC24F GU/GL MCUs offer ultra-low power operation for battery-powered and other power-conscious designs. They also feature an integrated segment Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driver that offers display segments ranging from 42 to 480 pixels to support a variety of display sizes.  

There are multiple sub-families of these parts.

The GU Family Offers USB Full Speed

The PIC24FJ GP2/GU2 family offers up to 64 KB of Error Correction Code (ECC) Flash, 8 KB of RAM, along with several CIPs and full-speed USB 2.0 host/device On-The-Go (OTG). With sleep current down to a few hundred nA while retaining the complete RAM content, the GP2/GU2 family is perfect for extending your battery life in any portable application.

The PIC24FJ GU4/GL4 family offers up to 512 KB of dual-partition Flash supporting real-time Over-The-Air (OTA) updates and Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) emulation. Along with a number of CIPs, it includes a full-speed USB and a segmented LCD controller with animation support. With high memory and sleep current down to a few hundred nA while retaining the complete RAM content, this family is perfect for Internet of Things (IoT), industrial, consumer, and medical applications.

The PIC24FJ GL3 family of low-power microcontrollers packs CIPs and extends CIP animation to the segmented LCD driver. With sleep current down to a few hundred nA while retaining the complete RAM content, the GL family is perfect for extending your battery life in any portable applications.
