The dsPIC30F6015 is a new dsPIC Digital Signal Controller (DSC) that offers designers a performance speed of 30 MIPS, self-programming capabilities via flash memory, and industrial and extended temperature ranges. The dsPIC30F6015 DSC features an advanced PWM peripheral designed for power conversion, motor-control and lighting applications, an associated 1-million-samples-per-second 10-bit ADC, 144 KB of flash program memory, and it can operate at full speed using an internal oscillator (no crystal required). Offered in a 64-pin TQFP package, this DSC is ideal for applications that drive power FETs and require advanced algorithmic processing.

Microchip’s dsPIC DSCs are offered in two families: the dsPIC30F and dsPIC33F. The dsPIC30F may be preferable for applications that favor any of the following attributes: wide operating voltage range (2.5 to 5.5 V), 5-V operation to maximize analog noise immunity or to minimize voltage translation logic, lowest power consumption in the Power Down mode of operation, and integrated high-endurance on-chip EEPROM.

Prices for the dsPIC30F6015 start at $7.98 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
