2 Target Applications

All AVR and PIC32CM devices are general-purpose MCUs suitable for consumer electronics, industrial control, and IoT applications. These devices can operate with low power for energy-efficient applications. Some device families have additional features that make them suitable for specific applications.

This section aims to ease the migration path by helping users identify which PIC32CM MCU can serve as an alternative solution based on the AVR application.

Note:

For Functional Safety:

  1. The PIC32CM MC, JH00/01, and most AVR devices are Functional Safety Ready, with supporting materials such as FMEDA, safety manuals, and self-test libraries.
  2. AVR SD and PIC32CM GC/SG have Functional Safety Compliance (ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
