2.0 GUIDELINES FOR GETTING
STARTED WITH 16-BIT
MICROCONTROLLERS
2.1 Basic Connection Requirements
Getting started with the PIC24FJ256GB210 family of
16-bit microcontrollers requires attention to a minimal
set of device pin connections before proceeding with
development.
The following pins must always be connected:
• All VDD and VSS pins
(see Section 2.2 “Power Supply Pins”)
• All AVDD and AVSS pins, regardless of whether or
not the analog device features are used
(see Section 2.2 “Power Supply Pins”)
• MCLR pin
(see Section 2.3 “Master Clear (MCLR) Pin”)
• ENVREG and VCAP pins (PIC24FJ devices only)
(see Section 2.4 “Voltage Regulator Pins
(ENVREG and VCAP)”)
These pins must also be connected if they are being
used in the end application:
• PGECx/PGEDx pins used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes
(see Section 2.5 “ICSP Pins”)
• OSCI and OSCO pins when an external oscillator
source is used
(see Section 2.6 “External Oscillator Pins”)
Additionally, the following pins may be required:
• VREF+/VREF- pins used when external voltage
reference for analog modules is implemented
Note:
The AVDD and AVSS pins must always be
connected, regardless of whether any of
the analog modules are being used.
The minimum mandatory connections are shown in
Figure 2-1.

See Section 2.4 “Voltage Regulator Pins
(ENVREG and VCAP)” for explanation of
ENVREG pin connections.
The example shown is for a PIC24F device
with five VDD/VSS and AVDD/AVSS pairs.
Other devices may have more or less pairs;
adjust the number of decoupling capacitors
appropriately.
