Functional Safety with dsPIC33 DSCs

When designing functional safety applications, using development tools that meet the requirements of safety standards can make it easier to create compliant systems. To help you with implementing system-level functional safety in your applications, we are TÜV SÜD-certified for our MPLAB® XC C compilers for several functional safety standards, and we provide the complete certification packages for the MPLAB development tool ecosystem to help you qualify your projects. The tool package includes:

  • TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB XC functional safety compiler (XC-DSC SW006024-FS  and XC16 SW006022-FS)
  • MPLAB Analysis Tool Suite Workstation License (SW006027-2)
  • MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), MPLAB debugger/programmers and associated documentation and reports for a fully qualified development environment to ease safety qualification

Functional Safety Relevant Features in dsPIC33 DSCs


The dsPIC33 DSCs offer many dedicated peripherals to improve the reliability and operation of safety-critical applications. These features help in the implementation of specific measures to enhance the safety of your product. Download the Safety Features Guide to learn more.

Embedded Security


As the demand for functional safety in the automotive industry increases, so does the need for robust cyber security measures, particularly as these two elements converge. Our dsPIC33 Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) help efficiently address the various security challenges in an embedded design.
