dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers

Microchip Technology Inc. announces 10 new 28- and 44-pin 16-bit digital signal controllers (DSCs) for motor control designs requiring increased memory or performance, or enhanced peripherals.

• Offered in 28- and 44-pin configurations, and come in packages as small as 6x6 mm
• Up to 128 KB of programmable Flash memory to accommodate large proprietary algorithms
• 10-bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) mode features up to four Sample & Holds that can be triggered simultaneously, useful for sensorless control strategies to gain improved loop performance from synchronized sampling strategies
• Two quadrature encoder interfaces for applications with rotor position sensors
