Product details
Overview
MA320016 from Microchip Technology is a plug-in module (PIM) featuring the PIC32MZ2048ECH144 MCU-200 MHz, 330 DMIPS, 2 MB Flash, 512 KB RAM-with USB HS device/host/OTG, SPI/I2S, and UART interfaces, designed for Bluetooth audio development on the PIC32 Bluetooth Audio Development Kit.
For engineers reviewing the MA320016 datasheet, MA320016 pinout, MA320016 application, or MA320016 equivalent, key considerations include its 144-pin LQFP package compatibility with the Bluetooth Audio DK, I2S-based digital audio interface support, USB high-speed dual-role capability, and exclusion from Explorer 16 use.
Technical Context
The MA320016 implements the PIC32MZ2048ECH144 microcontroller in a 144-pin LQFP package, targeting real-time audio processing with hardware-accelerated I2S and USB HS transceivers. It integrates dedicated audio peripherals including I2S master/slave mode, programmable audio clock generators, and DMA-linked serial audio buffers.
Its architecture supports simultaneous Bluetooth stack execution and low-latency audio streaming via USB or I2S, with memory-mapped peripherals enabling deterministic interrupt response under 200 MHz core clock operation and 330 DMIPS throughput.

FAQ
What is the MA320016 and what does it enable?
The MA320016 is a 144-pin plug-in module embedding the PIC32MZ2048ECH144 MCU, enabling rapid development of Bluetooth audio applications using the PIC32 Bluetooth Audio Development Kit. It provides full access to USB HS, dual I2S, and UART peripherals required for stereo audio streaming, codec interfacing, and host-side Bluetooth stack integration. The MA320016 is not a standalone board but a PIM intended for socketed use within its designated development system.
Is the MA320016 compatible with the Explorer 16 Development Board?
No, the MA320016 is explicitly incompatible with the Explorer 16 Development Board per Microchip's official documentation. Its mechanical layout, pin mapping, and power sequencing are tailored solely for the PIC32 Bluetooth Audio Development Kit. Attempting to mount the MA320016 on Explorer 16 may result in physical interference or electrical mismatch. Always verify socket compatibility before integration-MA320016 requires the Bluetooth Audio DK baseboard.
What audio interfaces does the MA320016 support?
The MA320016 supports two independent I2S modules compliant with Philips I2S standard, each configurable as master or slave with programmable bit clock and frame sync polarity. It enables stereo or multi-channel digital audio transfer at sample rates up to 192 kHz and word lengths of 16–32 bits. These interfaces are directly exposed via the PIM's edge connector for connection to external codecs or DACs-no additional level-shifting or bridging is required for standard I2S peripherals.
Does the MA320016 include USB high-speed functionality?
Yes, the MA320016 integrates full USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) capability via the onboard PIC32MZ2048ECH144, supporting device, host, and OTG roles with integrated PHY and session request protocol (SRP). This allows direct connection to PCs, smartphones, or USB audio class-compliant peripherals without external transceivers. Firmware-level USB audio class (UAC2) support is enabled through Microchip's Harmony v3 framework for MA320016-based designs.
What memory resources are accessible on the MA320016?
The MA320016 provides 2 MB of on-chip Flash memory organized in 8-KB sectors for reliable firmware updates and 512 KB of error-corrected SRAM for real-time audio buffering and Bluetooth stack execution. All memory is directly mapped and accessible without external glue logic. The MA320016 leverages the PIC32MZ2048ECH144's memory protection unit (MPU) to isolate audio processing threads from Bluetooth protocol stacks, ensuring deterministic latency during concurrent operation.
