Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the general purpose I / O pins for PIC32?

  The general purpose I/O pins can be considered the simplest of peripherals. These I/O pins allow the PIC32 microcontroller to monitor and control other devices. To add flexibility and functionality to a device, some pins are multiplexed with alternate function(s). These functions depend on which peripheral features are on the device.

• Is the pic32mm0256gpm064 a plug in module?

  The PIC32MM0256GPM064 Plug-in Module (PIM) is designed to plug into the Explorer 16/32 Development Board and is designed to enable you to explore the innovative features and capabilities of the PIC32MM “GPM” family.

• What does Brown Out Reset on PIC32 mean?

  PIC32 family devices have a simple Brown-out Reset (BOR) capability. If the voltage supplied to the regulator is inadequate to maintain a regulated level, the regulator Reset circuitry will generate a BOR event, which is synchroniz ed with the system clock, SYSCLK, before asserting the system Reset.

• Where can I find the Microchip PIC part number?

  Each PIC part number may have additional information on the Microchip website’s product detail page or in the Family Datasheet. Typically, the Microchip product page will include only the relevant sections of the FRM and this will be linked in the documentation area. The following section index is a static snapshot of links to FRM sections.

• What can I do with a PIC32MZ microcontroller?

  The PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with Floating Point Unit (EF) Family Starter Kit provides a low-cost method for the development and testing of USB and Ethernet-based applications with PIC32MZ EF family devices.

• Is there an XC32 compiler for pic32m MPLAB?

  XC32 Compiler for PIC32M MPLAB XC32 C/C++ Compiler User's Guide for PIC32M MCUs Notice to Customers Important: All documentation becomes dated and this manual is no exception. Microchip tools and documentation are constantly evolving to meet customer needs, so some actual dialogs and/or tool descriptions may differ from those in this document.

• Where are the instructions located in a PIC32 CPU?

  Instructions exist in either Program Flash memory or Data RAM memory. The PIC32 CPU is based on a load/store architecture and performs most operations on a set of internal registers. Specific load and store instructions are used to move data between these internal registers and the outside world.

• What kind of processor is the PIC32 MCU?

  The PIC32 MCU is a complex system-on-chip (SoC) that is based on the M4K® Microprocessor core from MIPS® Technologies. The M4K ® is a state-of-the-art, 32-bit, low-power, RISC proces- sor core with the enhanced MIPS32® Release 2 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA).
