Additions to 16-bit digital signal controller family

9 August 2006 DSP, Micros & Memory

Microchip has continued rolling out its 16-bit product portfolio with a new dsPIC digital signal controller (DSC) that offers a performance of 30 MIPS, self-programming capable Flash memory, and industrial and extended temperature ranges.

The dsPIC30F6015 features an advanced pulse-width modulation (PWM) peripheral designed for power-conversion, motor-control and lighting applications, a 1 MSPS 10-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, 144 KB of Flash program memory and operation at full speed using an internal oscillator.

This device is a larger memory version of the existing dsPIC30F5015, is offered in a 64-pin TQFP package, and joins over 70 other 16-bit Microchip products sharing instruction set, peripherals, pinouts and development tools.

Microchip's dsPIC DSCs are offered in two families - the dsPIC30F and dsPIC33F.

The dsPIC30F offers these attributes: wide operating voltage range (2,5 to 5,5 V) - including support for 5 V operation; low power consumption in power down mode; integrated, high-endurance on-chip EEPROM.

The 3,3 V dsPIC33F family has these attributes: larger memory configurations (Flash and/or RAM); maximum performance; low cost for larger memory configurations.

The dsPIC30F6015 is part of Microchip's motor control and power conversion family that include both dsPIC30F and dsPIC33F devices. Its key features include: 144 KB of Flash Program Memory, supporting 100 000 erase/write cycles and 40 years of data retention - over a wide operating-voltage and temperature range; 8 KB of SRAM and 4 KB of high-endurance EEPROM; eight output programmable motor control PWM, and eight standard PWM channels; 16-channel, 1 Msps, 10-bit ADC with four sample and holds and PWM trigger; quadrature encoder interface; five 16-bit timers; two CAN, two SPI, two UART and one I²C peripheral for serial communication.

All dsPIC DSCs use the same MPLAB integrated development environment as Microchip's PIC microcontroller family. The dsPIC30F is also supported by other Microchip development systems including the MPLAB C30 C Compiler, MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger and MPLAB Visual Device Initialiser.

The dsPIC30F6015 is available in a 64-pin TQFP package.
