Migrate to 32-bit with a PIC®︎ microcontroller

Latest PIC32 microcontroller delivers Ethernet, CAN & USB  connectivity plus more memory to solve  increasingly complex and connected embedded system design challenges.

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. All PIC32 devices are pin, peripheral and software compatible with Microchip's 16-bit PIC MCU families and other  PIC32 MCU family members.
The latest PIC32MX5/MX6/MX7 families  offer USB , Ethernet and CAN connectivity + increased  memory  yet maintain this important compatibility . The PIC32 family is supported by Microchip's MPLAB development environment and well-known industry tools and software providers. Microchip offers a fullset of development tools, code examples, USB, Graphics, TCP/IP, and FileSystem software all available with free source code. Industry partners offer real-time operating systems, development tools, graphical/GUI packages, file system, and networking middleware.
