DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR

Introduction

The MP Series of Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) combines the processing performance of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and the close integration of a Microcontroller (MCU) architecture in one device. This integration gives embedded designers the ideal platform to meet both performance and cost requirements, while providing a single solution to control a motor or system using sensory feedback in real-time.

The DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR is a family of 16-bit digital signal controllers designed for enhanced motor control and measurement applications. Its features include four 16-bit dedicated motor control timers, three op amps, an improved 10-bit 100ksps A/D Converter, a Digital Peripheral Interface (DPI) for communication with off-chip sensors, and a unique Low Power Run (LPRUN) mode, ideal for battery-powered applications.

Application Fields

The DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR is an ideal choice for motion control applications such as robotics, home appliances, and industrial automation. It is also suitable for automotive applications, such as engine control systems, airbag systems, and electronic stability control.

Additionally, the DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR can be used in other applications where high performance, communications, and motor control are required such as digital power supplies, motor control systems, and industrial process control systems.

Working Principle

The DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR is based on the 16-bit dual-core MIPS M-Class processor, offering up to 40 MIPS of processing power. The device includes 16KB of flash, 4KB of SRAM, and 4KB of EEPROM. It is also capable of running from a wide range of power supply voltages, from 1.8V to 5.5V.

The DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR has three op-amps for implementing a variety of analog functions such as extending the dynamic range of the ADC. It also has four 16-bit dedicated motor control timers, along with two 16-bit general-purpose timers, providing increased flexibility and performance for motor control applications.

In addition to its on-chip peripheral functions, the DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR also includes a digital peripheral interface (DPI), which allows for the connection of off-chip sensors, such as encoders or limit switches, without the need for external logic. The DPI can also be used for communication with other devices, such as a PC or PLC.

Finally, the DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR includes a unique Low Power Run (LPRUN) mode, which allows the device to operate in a low-power state while maintaining most of the same operational features as when operating in its normal operating mode. This allows the device to be used in battery-powered applications.

Conclusion

The DSPIC33CH128MP506-E/MR is an ideal choice for embedded applications that require high performance, motor control, and communications. Its on-chip peripherals, programmable logic, and flexible power management make it an ideal solution for applications such as automotive, robotics, and home appliances.
