High-Performance Embedded, Measurement Control, Dual CAN, Functional Safety,  Real-Time Control, Scalable


For demanding applications, the dsPIC33EP GP family of Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) offers up to 70 MHz performance with very high peripheral integration and is optimized for real-time operations and measurement control. Offering the simplicity of a microcontroller, these DSCs feature a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) engine, a single-cycle 16 × 16 MAC unit and 40-bit accumulators to facilitate running high-speed precision control loops. This family is ideal for implementing math-intensive functions, such as DSP filtering of sensor inputs, and offers the right mix of features to address an array of automotive, industrial, medical and consumer applications.

dsPIC33EP GP DSCs are rated for operation up to 150°C ambient temperature for use in the most extreme automotive and industrial applications. For safety-critical applications, the DSCs include memory integrity check, fault monitoring and detection and a range of other features enabling functional safety compliance.

If your application requires wired or wireless connectivity, dsPIC33EP GP DSCs support a wide variety of communication protocols. These devices include up to two CAN modules, LIN, and other serial communication peripherals for wired applications. It is also easy to couple these DSCs with our Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi® and LoRa® modules for wireless connectivity and with our Ethernet and EtherCAT® controllers for wired connectivity.
