Digital signal controllers with industry-leading PWM resolution and fast ADC
For efficient power conversion, the dsPIC33AK digital signal controllers (DSC) from Microchip support multi-motor control, digital power, as well as advanced sensing and touch.
The ability to support computation-intensive control algorithms enables significant energy saving and reduces the power-supply footprint for power conversion, motor control and sensing applications.
The 200 MHz dsPIC33A core features a double precision floating-point unit (FPU) to accelerate mathematical computations and the 32-bit architecture eases the seamless adoption of model-based design code.
High-speed control is enabled with the industry-leading, 78 ps high-resolution pulse width modulations (PWMs) in addition to low-latency 40 Msps ADCs for fast and accurate control loops. These features optimize performance of both silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) dc-dc converters.
The advanced security features of the dsPIC33AK DSCs include integrated crypto accelerators and a Flash security module, which enables immutable root of trust, secure boot, secure firmware upgrades and secure debug.
For safety-critical automotive and industrial applications, the dsPIC33AK hardware safety features comply with functional safety standards and are in accordance with the ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards.
The 128-pin dsPIC33AK512MPS512 integrates 16 output generators and eight output generators, and the 100-pin dsPIC33AK512MC510 features 24 output generators.
The support of the MPLAB® Machine Learning Development Suite, streamlines the machine learning (ML) workflow with automated data preparation, feature extraction, training, validation and firmware conversion of optimized models.
