Microchip Technology’s digital signal controllers (DSCs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) can help develop intelligent hardware
In an interesting development, Microchip Technology has expanded its motor control offerings with digital signal controllers (DSCs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) that are supported by design tools, development hardware, a torque-maximizing algorithm and a refrigerator compressor reference design.
“New products like Microchip’s dsPIC33C DSC devices with their high analog integration demonstrate our continued investment in simplifying motor control system design while reducing development and bill of materials costs in automotive, industrial, medical and consumer applications,” said Joe Thomsen, Vice President of
Microchip’s MCU16 Business Unit. “Our newly enhanced support ecosystem helps engineers get their designs done faster with the optimum combination of performance, efficiency and reliability”, Thomsen added.
The dsPIC33CK64MC105 DSCs are available in six packages as small as 4x4mm with pin counts from 28 to 48 and priced starting at $1.13 for 10,000 units with memory ranging from 32KB to 64KB of Flash with 8KB of RAM. PIC32MK devices are available from 48 to 100 and priced starting at $3.27 for 10,000 units with memory ranging from 256KB to 1MB of Flash, and 64KB to 256KB of RAM.
As electric motors proliferate across a growing range of system applications, developers need products and tools that ensure systems run as efficiently as possible while reducing board size, component count and energy consumption.
