PIC24F16KA102 FAMILY

2.4

Voltage Regulator Pins

(ENVREG/DISVREG and

VCAP/VDDCORE)

The on-chip voltage regulator enable/disable pin

(ENVREG or DISVREG, depending on the device

family) must always be connected directly to either a

supply voltage or to ground. The particular connection

is determined by whether or not the regulator is to be

used:

• For ENVREG, tie to VDD to enable the regulator,

or to ground to disable the regulator

• For DISVREG, tie to ground to enable the

regulator, or to VDD to disable the regulator

Refer to Section 25.2 “On-Chip Voltage Regulator”

for details on connecting and using the on-chip

regulator.

When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR (<5Ω)

capacitor is required on the VCAP/VDDCORE pin to

stabilize the voltage regulator output voltage. The

VCAP/VDDCORE pin must not be connected to VDD, and

must use a capacitor of 10

μF, 16V connected to

ground. The type can be ceramic or tantalum. The

placement of this capacitor should be close to the

VCAP/VDDCORE. It is recommended that the trace

length not exceed 0.25 inch (6 mm). Refer to

Section 28.0

“Electrical

Characteristics”

for

additional information.

When the regulator is disabled, the VCAP/VDDCORE pin

must be tied to a voltage supply at the VDDCORE level.

Refer to Section 28.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for

information on VDD and VDDCORE.

2.5

ICSP Pins

The PGECx and PGEDx pins are used for In-Circuit

Serial Programming (ICSP) and debugging purposes.

It is recommended to keep the trace length between

the ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as

short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to

experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recom-

mended, with the value in the range of a few tens of

ohms, not to exceed 100Ω.

Pull-up resistors, series diodes and capacitors on the

PGECx and PGEDx pins are not recommended as they

will interfere with the programmer/debugger communi-

cations to the device. If such discrete components are

an application requirement, they should be removed

from the circuit during programming and debugging.

Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and

timing requirements information in the respective

device Flash programming specification for information

on capacitive loading limits and pin input voltage high

(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.

For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication

Channel

Select”

(i.e.,

PGECx/PGEDx

pins)

programmed into the device matches the physical con-

nections for the ICSP to MPLAB® ICD 2, MPLAB® ICD

3 or REAL ICE™.

For more information on the ICD 2, ICD 3 and REAL ICE

connection requirements, refer to the following

documents that are available on the Microchip web site.

Guide” (

Guide” (

devices with an on-chip voltage regulator.
