Start with the news release Microchip MCUs feature NanoWatt XLP technology from Microchip Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Microchip has announced two new families of 16-bit PIC24F microcontrollers (MCUs) - the PIC24FJ64GA104 and the PIC24FJ64GB004.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release PIC24F16KA MCUs feature Nanowatt XLP technology from Microchip Technology: "Microchip has introduced the PIC24F16KA range of 16-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), which feature Nanowatt XLP Extreme Low Power Technology. ".
In January 2009, we covered the news from Microchip Technology - take a look at Serial devices increase RAM availability which says: "Microchip has announced a range of 8-Kbyte and 32-Kbyte stand-alone serial SRAM devices designed to increase a system's available RAM through adding small, inexpensive external devices. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Microchip Technology, USB microcontrollers run from 8 to 32bit, as well as 8bit PICs take USB and more onboard from Microchip Technology, and Serial EEPROMs have single I/O bus interface from Microchip Technology.
