Microchip Launches New dsPIC® DSC-Based Integrated Motor Drivers that Bring Controllers, Gate Drivers and Communications to a Single Device
CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To implement efficient, real-time embedded motor control systems in space-constrained applications, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq:MCHP) has launched a new family of dsPIC® Digital Signal Controller (DSC)-based integrated motor drivers. These devices incorporate a dsPIC33 digital signal controller (DSC), a three-phase MOSFET gate driver and optional LIN or CAN FD transceiver into one package. A significant benefit of this integration is reduction in component count of the motor control system design, smaller printed circuit board (PCB) dimensions and reduced complexity. The devices are supported by development boards, reference designs, application notes and Microchip’s field oriented control (FOC) software development suite, motorBench® Development Suite V2.45.
