Microchip has introduced a range of 19 new tools and application aids to enhance development for Microchip's dsPIC 16-bit digital signal controller (DSC) architecture. This is a series of software development tools, high-level libraries, application designs and development boards that give designers the resources they need.
The development tools for Microchip's 16-bit dsPIC DSC include the MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE). The MPLAB in-circuit debugger 2 (ICD 2), which is also a device programmer, now supports the dsPIC DSC architecture. In fact, these tools are the platform for all of Microchip's microcontrollers and DSCs. Additional software tools include the MPLAB visual device initialiser (VDI), as well as three realtime operating systems (RTOS) from CMX. In addition, there is a filter design package and its companion dsPICworks Visual Algorithm Analyser.
Microchip is also introducing several high-level and utility libraries that give developers the ability to add powerful functionality to their application with a minimal learning curve. Initial high-level libraries include software modems, TCP/IP, and motor control. Microchip also offers free DSP, Math and Peripheral utility libraries.
The new hardware development boards are:
* The dsPICDEM Starter Demonstration Board allows the user to validate a development idea using the dsPIC30F6012 (144 KB Flash).
* The dsPIC30F2010-based (12 KB Flash) dsPICDEM 28-pin Starter Demonstration Board enables the user to validate a development tool set-up using a 28-pin SDIP or SOIC dsPIC30F device.
* The dsPIC30F6014-based (144 KB Flash) dsPICDEM 1.1 General Purpose Development Board provides the application designer with a development tool to become familiar with the dsPIC30F 16-bit architecture. The dsPIC30F6014 also features on the dsPICDEM Connectivity Development Boards.
