Migrate to 32-bit with a PIC®︎ microcontrollers

Easy and logical upgrade for existing users of Microchip's 8-& 16-bit PIC microcontrollers.

Whilst the PIC32 can provide an easy and logical upgrade for existing users of Microchip's 8-& 16-bit PIC microcontrollers, it also delivers true 32-bit performance with more memory to solve many of the increasingly complex embedded designs.

The PIC32 family is supported by Microchip's MPLAB development environment and well-known industry tools and software providers. Microchip offers a full set of development tools, code examples, USB, graphics, TCP/IP, and File System software all available with free source code. Industry partners offer real-time operating systems, development tools, graphical/GUI packages, file system, and networking middleware.

Since its introduction in 2007, the PIC32 family has undergone many performance improvements while maintaining the PIC microcontroller heritage of ease of use and compatibility. The PIC32 products are pin, peripheral and software compatible with Microchip's 16-bit PIC MCU families and across the PIC32 MCU family.
