Essential Performance and Real-time Control Without the Baggage

Microchip Technology Inc. launched the dsPIC33CK Value Line family of Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to balance performance & cost for real-time control applications.
The devices offer up to 100 MHz deterministic processing, high-resolution PWM, & a 12-bit ADC to support motor Field Oriented Control (FOC), touch, & precision sensing.
Scalable program Flash memory options range from 32 KB to 256 KB, enabling designers to consolidate system functions & reduce external component count.
The family features consistent pricing at any volume starting at $0.51 per unit, simplifying long-term cost planning.
Automotive-grade reliability includes AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification & built-in security features for secure boot & firmware updates.
Technical specifications include up to 2 ns PWM resolution across eight channels, a 12-bit ADC supporting up to 2 MSPS, & on-chip analog comparators with a 12-bit DAC.
Communications peripherals include CAN FD, LIN, SENT, UART, SPI, & I²C, integrated within a single device to simplify system design.
Development tools include a low-cost dsPIC33CK Value Line Curiosity Nano evaluation kit with an onboard debugger & a Motor Control Dual Inline Module (DIM).
The DSCs are compatible with Microchip's MPLAB® development ecosystem, including the MPLAB XC-DSC Pro Compiler.
Applications span industrial, automotive, consumer, & medical markets requiring dependable real-time operation.
