Digital Signal Controllers and 32-bit Microcontrollers with Integrated CAN FD

Our dsPIC33C family of DSCs delivers accelerated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) performance for high-performance embedded, motor control, digital power control and safety-critical applications. The dsPIC33C family includes a complementary portfolio of dsPIC33CH dual-core DSCs and dsPIC33CK single-core DSCs, featuring an integrated CAN FD controller along with the supporting free software libraries for robust communication and increased bandwidth.

The dual-core dsPIC33CH family is designed to facilitate executing dedicated, time-critical or safety-critical control code on the secondary core while the main core is busy running the system and communication functions. The dsPIC33CK family offers a cost-effective, single-core option with the same high-performance core and advanced peripherals.

dsPIC33C DSCs feature dedicated peripherals for functional safety compliance in automotive, industrial and medical applications.

Our portfolio of 32-bit MCUs includes a wide range of devices that offer the features, performance and CAN FD connectivity needed for your automotive, industrial and other designs. 

Our SAM C21 and PIC32CM JH families of Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+ based MCUs offer entry-level performance with dual CAN FD controllers, making them excellent options for in-cabin touch buttons and seat controls and other automotive designs and for industrial controls and many other industrial applications.

The SAM E5x family of Arm Cortex-M4F based MCUs offers mid-range performance and dual CAN FD controllers along with extended memory and advanced features. These MCUs are good choices for  building automation applications and Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS). We provide Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) drivers for AUTOSAR to support your development with these MCUs.

Based on the Arm Cortex-M7 core, the SAM V7x series of MCUs deliver the highest performance. In addition to their dual CAN FD controllers, they also offer MediaLB^® bus, Ethernet and other connectivity options. They are well suited for automotive infotainment, AVAS, head units and other applications. MCAL drivers for AUTOSAR are also available for this series of MCUs.
