Essential performance and real-time control without added burdens
Microchip's DSC dsPIC33CK Value Line offers a design optimized for cost-sensitive applications and the same price for orders of any size.
Designers of real-time control applications are finding it increasingly difficult to balance performance and peripheral integration without increasing system cost and complexity. To address these challenges, Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced the Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) family. dsPIC33CK Value Linewhich are capable of providing essential real-time control at a competitive price. Thanks to their deterministic processing up to
With 100 MHz, high-resolution PWM (pulse-width modulation) and a 12-bit A/D converter, the DSC Value Line is ideal for FOC (Field Oriented Control) motor control, touch and precision sensing applications, without the added cost of unnecessary features.
The dsPIC33CK Value Line devices integrate a balanced set of peripherals that allow designers to combine various system functions into a single device, helping to reduce the number of external components, the footprint on the printed circuit board, and the overall cost of the bill of materials. With program flash memory options ranging from 32 KB to 256 KB, along with compatibility across the broader dsPIC33CK family, the DSC Value Line offers scalability and facilitates migration to meet future needs.
“Not all real-time control designs require a high-end solution; many simply need reliable performance at the right cost,” said Joe Thomsen, corporate vice president of Microchip’s DSC business unit. “The DSC dsPIC33CK Value Line provides designers with the essential features they need, eliminating complexity and making it easier to develop capable, reliable systems without paying for unnecessary features. By offering the same pricing regardless of order size, customers can more easily plan, size, and control costs over the long term.”
The dsPIC33CK Value Line family, designed for cost-sensitive applications, offers consistent and competitive pricing across various order volumes, simplifying device selection during early evaluation and production planning phases. Its automotive-grade reliability, demonstrated by AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification and integrated security features for secure boot and secure firmware updates, makes it suitable for use in industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer applications requiring reliable, real-time operation.
The DSC Value Line microcontrollers are designed to provide up to 2 ns of PWM resolution across eight channels, a 12-bit A/D converter achieving 2 MSPS, integrated analog comparators with a 12-bit D/A converter, and a wide range of communication peripherals such as CAN FD, LIN (Local Interconnect Network), SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission), UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), and I²C. These features, combined with Microchip's established DSC dsPIC33CK ecosystem, help designers implement precise and reliable real-time control functions in a single device, simplifying system design and supporting its use in demanding applications requiring long-term reliability and a good cost-performance ratio.
