Electronica Azi & Microchip dsPIC33CH Curiosity Development Board

Win a Microchip dsPIC33CH Curiosity Development Board (DM330028-2) from Electronica Azi and if you don’t win, receive a 20% off voucher, plus free shipping for one of these boards.

The dsPIC33CH Curiosity Development Board (DM330028-2) is intended as a cost-effective development and demonstration platform for the entire dsPIC33CH family of dual core high performance digital signal controllers. Designed from the ground-up to take full advantage of Microchip’s MPLAB® X IDE, the board includes an integrated programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware, making it a perfect starting point to explore the dsPIC33CH dual core family.

Microchip’s dsPIC33CH family of digital signal controllers (DSCs) feature dual 90 & 100 MIPS 16-bit dsPIC® DSC cores with integrated DSP and enhanced on-chip peripherals. These DSCs enable the design of high-performance, precision motor control systems that are more energy efficient, quieter in operation and provide extended motor life. They can be used to control BLDC, PMSM, ACIM, SR and stepper motors. These DSCs enable the design of switched mode power supplies such as AC/DC, DC/DC, UPS and PFC, providing high-precision digital control of Buck, Boost, Fly-Back, Half-Bridge, Full-Bridge, LLC and other power circuits to reach the highest possible energy efficiency. These devices are also ideal for many high-performance general-purpose and robust applications and have many features that help simplify functional safety certifications for ASIL-B and ASIL-C focused applications.

Highlights

  • Using high-precision architectures enables superior DC performance, regardless of operating conditions
  • Low noise and additional EMI filtering on the inputs provide additional protection in electrically noisy environments
  • Small packages, such as leadless DFNs, are ideal for space-constrained designs
  • A wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C provides a robust solution even at extreme temperatures

Microchip Instrumentation Amplifier with mCAL Technology

The MCP6N11 and MCP6V2x Wheatstone Bridge Reference Design demonstrates the performance of Microchip's MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier (INA) and a traditional three op amp INA using Microchip's MCP6V26 and MCP6V27 auto-zeroed op amps. The input signal comes from an RTD temperature sensor in a Wheatstone bridge. Real world interference is added to the bridge's output, to provide realistic performance comparisons. Data is gathered and displayed on a PC, for ease of use. The USB PIC® microcontroller and included Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the means to configure the board and collect sample data.
