Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total Flash memory of the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO and how is it partitioned?
The PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO provides 256KB of main program Flash plus 3KB of dedicated boot Flash. The boot Flash region holds the bootloader code separately from the application firmware, enabling secure field updates where the bootloader remains intact even if the 256KB main Flash region is overwritten during a firmware upgrade.
For a USB peripheral design, how does the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO's 50 MHz core improve HID responsiveness?
Running at 50 MHz on a 32-bit MIPS core, the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO can execute USB HID interrupt service routines in under 1 µs, ensuring sub-millisecond response to host poll cycles. The additional processing headroom compared to 8-bit MCUs allows concurrent handling of USB enumeration, application logic, and ADC sampling without firmware scheduling compromises.
When would a designer choose PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO over the PIC32MX150F128B with 128KB Flash?
Designers choose the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO when firmware size exceeds 128KB, such as when integrating a full USB stack, FAT file system, or wireless protocol library alongside application code. The 256KB Flash provides double the program space while maintaining the same 28-pin SOIC-28 footprint at 50 MHz, making it a straightforward upgrade path without PCB re-layout.
Does the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO support boundary scan for manufacturing test, and what pins does it use?
Yes, the PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SO supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan, which is accessible through dedicated JTAG pins on the 28-pin SOIC-28 package. This allows automated in-circuit test equipment to verify all I/O connections and detect solder opens or shorts across the board without requiring physical bed-of-nails access to individual signal pins.
