Microchip dsPIC33CH Dual-Core Family


Design Code Separately and Integrate Seamlessly with Dual-Core dsPIC Digital Signal Controller

The devices from the dsPIC33CH family are the first Microchip dual core, 16-bit microcontrollers. The dsPIC33CH128MP508 has two Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) cores that can run independently. The dsPIC33CH family delivers unprecedented integration in package as small as 5 x 5 mm. To reduce system costs and board size, advanced peripherals are available to each core including high-speed ADCs, DACs with waveform generation, analog comparators, analog programmable gain amplifiers and high-resolution Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) hardware.

Key Highlights
• Simplified firmware development with dual independent cores.
• Dual cores and peripheral sets facilitate robust systems and improve functional safety.
• First dsPIC33 with CAN-FD for robust communication with increased bandwidth.
• Maximum analog integration including high-speed ADCs, DACs with waveform generation, analog comparators and PGAs for increased functionality in less space.
• Live update of firmware for high-availability systems, especially important for power supplies.
