The 16-bit PIC24 Family is comprised of two sub-families. The
PIC24F offers a cost-effective low power step up in performance,
memory and peripherals for many applications that are pushing the
envelope of 8-bit microcontroller capabilities. For more demanding
applications, the PIC24H offers 40 MIPS performance, more
memory and additional peripherals, such as CAN communication
modules. For more information visit: www.microchip.com/16bit
