Microchip Technology Announces Seven New 16-bit dsPIC33F GS Series Digital-Power DSC

The Seven New 16-bit dsPIC33F GS Series are seven next-generation 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) for common, multi-loop Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPSs) and other power-conversion applications. These devices, offered in the industry’s smallest DSC packages for digital power conversion (with as small as a 6×6 mm footprint), provide up to twice the performance at a significantly lower price than Microchip’s first SMPS family. The dsPIC33F feature an “Intelligent Power Peripheral,” which includes interconnected analog comparators, Pulse-Width Modulators (PWMs) and Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) that are specialized for digital-power applications and can be software configured to adapt to a variety of topologies. These DSCs are well suited for AC/DC converters, DC/DC power-converters and other power-conversion applications, such as embedded power-supply controllers, power inverters, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) and digital lighting. The dsPIC33F “GS” series devices offer 10 modes of PWM operation, including standard, complementary, push-pull, variable-phase and center-aligned…
