Microchip udvider dsPIC33A DSC-familien
Med sigte på brug i AI datacentre, komplekse motorstyringer og intelligente sensorapplikationer præsenterer Microchip ny dsPIC33A DSC familie (in english).
As AI servers, data centers, automotive and industrial systems demand higher efficiency designs, deterministic real-time control and quantum-resistant cryptography, Microchip Technology has added dsPIC33AK256MPS306 Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to its dsPIC33A DSC family.
The dsPIC33AK256MPS306 devices combine high-resolution control, high-speed analog and security with support for post-quantum cryptography. The devices are compact and cost-effective, designed to reduce the bill of materials (BOM), simplify board layout and accelerate time to market for power conversion, motor control and intelligent sensing applications.
Built on a 200 MHz 32-bit core with a double-precision floating point unit (FPU), the dsPIC33AK256MPS306 family integrates high-resolution 78 ps Pulse Width Modulators (PWMs), multiple 40 MSPS 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), 5 ns high-speed comparators and Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) with slope compensation.
These features help enable fast, deterministic control loops for high-efficiency DC/DC converters, auxiliary power rails and intelligent sensing designs, including systems based on Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) power semiconductors operating at high switching frequencies.
- We are seeing customers look beyond individual components and focus on how quickly and confidently they can bring a system to life, says Joe Thomsen, corporate vice president of Microchip’s digital signal controller business unit, and he continues:
- These DSCs address those needs by combining a broad set of control, analog and security capabilities together in a single device. That integration, combined with a comprehensive development ecosystem, helps teams manage complexity and meet evolving performance and cybersecurity requirements from early design through deployment.
To address increasing cybersecurity requirements, the dsPIC33AK256MPS306 family includes hardware security features for implementing secure boot, secure firmware updates and secure debug.
The devices offer library support for Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite 2.0 recommended post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms and feature hardware accelerated cryptographic functions needed in Open Compute Project (OCP) power supplies and other connected real time control designs. Live update support helps enable uninterrupted full cycle firmware updates required in modern server designs.
