Microchip Technology Incorporated
Motor Control with PIC24FJ16 ‘MC’ MCUs or
dsPIC33FJ16 ‘MC’ DSCs
■ 6-channel PWM with synchronized outputs for 3-phase
operation
■ 3 analog comparators for sensorless control
■ Advanced motor control, signal analysis and digital
fi ltering in DSCs
■ Support for a wide range motor control algorithms for:
– Sensored motors
– Sensorless Field-Oriented Control (FOC)
@ 10 kHz PWM
– AC induction motors
– Brushless DC (BLDC motors)
– Permanent magnet motors
Helping you migrate cost-sensitive designs to 16 MIPS,
Microcontroller and Digital Signal Controller performance,
this new series of ‘MC’ and ‘GP’ families of Microchip
PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC® Digital Signal
Controllers (DSCs) provide breakthrough performance for
higher motor control effi ciency and more intelligent sensing
applications.
Give your cost-sensitive motor control and sensor designs
a boost in performance with these latest controllers
from Microchip. The ‘MC’ families of PIC24FJ16 MCUs
and dsPIC33FJ16 DSCs are optimized for sensored
and sensorless motor control applications using a wide
range of algorithms, while the dsPIC33FJ16 ‘GP’ family
is designed for advanced, general-purpose sensing. Both
families integrate an on-chip Charge Time Measurement
Unit (CTMU) and a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
in addition to three analog comparators, a Real-Time Clock/
Calendar (RTCC) and timers as well as input capture and
output compare modules. All in space-saving packages with
footprints down to 5 mm and up to 36 pins.
The ‘GP’ dsPIC DSCs also give you up to 21 general output
pins for driving intelligent sensors, while the ‘MC’ MCUs and
DSCs simplify motor control with a 6-channel Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) module and synchronized outputs for
3-phase operation. This allows you to drive higher effi ciency,
quieter operation, smoother torque and high reliability across
a range of motor control applications.
Make the Move to Low Cost and
High Performance
■ Combine low cost with 16 MIPS, 16-bit performance
■ Add effi cient DSC acceleration to applications previously
too cost limited
■ Save space with up to 36 pins in packages down to 5mm
■ Fast development with low-cost tools plus extensive online
support
General Purpose Sensing with
dsPIC33FJ16 ‘GP’ DSCs
■ 1.1 Msps 6-channel ADC with 4x sample and holds
■ Charge-Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) for mTouch™
sensing
■ Real-Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC)
■ Advanced signal analysis and digital fi ltering in DSC
devices
■ Up to 21 General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins
