Overview

The PIC32MX250F128B-I/SO is a 32-bit MIPS32 M4K core microcontroller designed for cost-effective embedded control and connectivity. It features a high-performance 40MHz to 50MHz clock rate, 128KB of Flash, and 32KB of RAM in a breadboard-friendly 28-pin SOIC package. Its most notable feature is the integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0 Device/Host/OTG controller.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU provides a significant performance boost over 8-bit controllers while maintaining ease of use with 5V-tolerant pins and a low-pin-count package. The inclusion of a 4-channel DMA controller and integrated USB OTG reduces CPU overhead for data-intensive tasks.

Applications

USB Connectivity
Designing USB peripherals like HID devices, custom data loggers, or bridge controllers using the integrated OTG support.
Digital Audio Processing
Leveraging the MIPS32 DSP instructions and I2S interface for basic audio filtering, playback, or sampling applications.
Industrial Control
Utilizing the 5V-tolerant I/O pins and multiple UART/SPI/I2C interfaces for robust communication with industrial sensors.
Consumer Electronics
Managing small appliances or portable devices that require high-speed 32-bit processing and low power consumption in Sleep and Idle modes.

Getting Started

Development is primarily done using the MPLAB X IDE and the XC32 compiler. For hardware prototyping, the PIC32MX250F128B is often used with the Microchip PIC32 USB Starter Kit II or programmed via the MPLAB PICkit 4 in-circuit debugger.
