About this course

This is a recording of the course 25010 MCU7 - Exploring the Power of Microchip's new 32-bit Digital Signal Controllers: Architecture and Peripheral Overview that was presented at the 2025 MASTERs Conference.

This class introduces the architecture, core, peripherals, and features of the dsPIC33A family of microcontrollers. You will learn about the dsPIC33A architecture including the 32-bit core, instruction set, interrupt latency, and clocking schemes. You will explore select peripherals including the 40 MSPS ADC, double precision hardware floating point unit, and high resolution PWM. This class will demonstrate the power of the dsPIC33A core and peripherals in the acquisition of an input signal produced by a signal generator and subsequent processing of the signal data on the dsPIC33A using fixed and floating point FFT's.

Prerequisites:

Prior experience with embedded systems development and basic understanding of microcontroller architecture is beneficial
