Real-Time Performance for Motor Control, Digital Power, Advanced Sensing and Control, Touch, Security, Safety-Critical and High-Performance Embedded Applications
Our single-core dsPIC33CK Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) accelerate Digital Signal Processor (DSP) performance for time-critical applications. This family offers fast deterministic performance to address real-world design requirements. Complementing our dual-core dsPIC33CH DSCs, the dsPIC33CK family offers a cost-effective single-core option with the same high-performance core and peripherals.
These high-performance DSCs feature a dsPIC33 ‘C’ core with DSP engine, expanded context-selected registers to reduce interrupt latency, new instructions to accelerate DSP performance, tightly coupled peripherals and faster execution to enable complex high-speed control loop implementation. The dsPIC33CK family maintains the simplicity of a microcontroller and provides a performance upgrade path for dsPIC33E and dsPIC33F DSC users. Download our Migration Guide for tips on migrating from the dsPIC33EP GS family to the dsPIC33CK family.
The high integration of specialized peripherals makes the dsPIC33CK family of single-core Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) excellent options for motor control, digital power conversion, advanced sensing and control, touch, security, safety-critical and high-performance embedded applications across industrial, medical, automotive and consumer markets.
