Microchip Dual Core Digital Signal Controllers | New Product Brief
This New Product Brief (NPB) is part of a video series highlighting the features, applications, and technical specs of newly-released products.
Microchip Dual Core Digital Signal Controllers
Microchip Technology dsPIC33CH dual-core 16-bit digital signal controllers are optimized for high-performance digital power, motor control, and other high-end embedded applications.
The dsPIC33CH has a master-slave configuration with independent peripherals and memories for each core. This facilitates seamless integration of code developed separately for each core.
The slave core operates at 200MHz and is designed to handle time-critical tasks, while the master core operates at 180MHz and runs the UI and system monitoring functions.
The DSC has a 12-channel, 16-bit PWM with 250 picosecond resolution, enabling high precision real-time control. It also offers advanced analog features, including four 12-bit, 3.5 megasample per second ADCs, DACs with waveform generation, and programmable gain amplifiers.
Microchip offers the dsPIC33CH family in eight package variants for design flexibility, ranging from 28 to 80 pins and as small as 5 by 5 millimeters.
