PIC32MX1XX/2XX
26.3
On-Chip Voltage Regulator
All PIC32MX1XX/2XX devices’ core and digital logic
are designed to operate at a nominal 1.8V. To simplify
system designs, most devices in the PIC32MX-
1XX/2XX family incorporate an on-chip regulator pro-
viding the required core logic voltage from V
DD
.
A low-ESR capacitor (such as tantalum) must be
connected to the V
CAP
 pin (see 
). This
helps to maintain the stability of the regulator. The
recommended value for the filter capacitor is provided
in 
.
26.3.1
ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND POR
It takes a fixed delay for the on-chip regulator to gener-
ate an output. During this time, designated as T
PU
,
code execution is disabled. T
PU
 is applied every time
the device resumes operation after any power-down,
including Sleep mode.
26.3.2
ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND BOR
PIC32MX1XX/2XX devices also have a simple brown-
out capability. If the voltage supplied to the regulator is
inadequate to maintain a regulated level, the regulator
Reset circuitry will generate a Brown-out Reset. This
event is captured by the BOR flag bit (RCON<1>). The
brown-out voltage levels are specific in 
.

Programming and Diagnostics
PIC32MX1XX/2XX devices provide a complete range
of programming and diagnostic features that can
increase the flexibility of any application using them.
These features allow system designers to include:
• Simplified field programmability using two-wire 
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) 
interfaces
• Debugging using ICSP
• Programming and debugging capabilities using 
the EJTAG extension of JTAG
• JTAG boundary scan testing for device and board 
diagnostics
PIC32 devices incorporate two programming and diag-
nostic modules, and a trace controller, that provide a
range of functions to the application developer.

programming, debugging, and trace ports.

Note:
It is important that the low-ESR capacitor
is placed as close as possible to the V
CAP
pin.
