Now at Mouser: Microchip’s dsPIC33CH Dual-Core Digital Signal Controllers for High-Performance Motor Control Applications

August 16, 2018 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the dsPIC33CH dual-core digital signal controllers (DSCs) from Microchip Technology. Combining two dsPIC® DSC cores into a single chip, the new devices are the first in the dsPIC33 family with optional support for the Control Area Network Flexible Data Rate (CAN-FD) protocol for robust communication with increased bandwidth. The dsPIC33CH controllers are ideal for high-performance embedded applications that require sophisticated algorithms, including motor control, server power supplies, automotive sensors, industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, wireless power, and industrial automation.

        The Microchip dsPIC33CH dual-core DSCs, available from Mouser Electronics, are built to allow independent code development by individual design teams while facilitating seamless integration in a single chip. The devices’ master core runs the user interface, communications and system-monitoring functions, while the slave core executes dedicated, time-critical control code. The controllers include high-performance peripherals including four 12-bit, 3.5-Msps analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and up to 12 high-speed PWM channels with 250ps resolution. Featuring integrated power-on reset and brown-out reset, the dsPIC33CH controllers offer three low-power management modes for improved energy efficiency.

        The dsPIC33CH dual-core DSCs are supported by the dsPIC33CH Curiosity Development Board. Designed to make full use of the Microchip MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) tool, the development board includes an integrated PICkit™-on-Board programmer and debugger, through-hole and SMT prototyping area, and two MikroElektronika mikroBUS interfaces for hardware expansion.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
