Microchip dsPIC33CH Dual-Core DSPs | DigiKey Daily

Microchip offers their first family of dual-core digital signal processors optimized for digital power and motor control. The innovative dsPIC33CH dual-core DSPs have two dsPIC cores in a single chip; one core is the master while the other core is the slave. The slave core is for executing dedicated, time-critical control code, while the master core runs the user interface, system monitoring and communications functions, and customizations for the end application. This arrangement is designed to facilitate independent code development for each core by separate design teams, and later enables seamless integration for system developers designing high-end embedded control applications with multiple software teams. Ideal applications for this dual-core DSP include wireless power, server power supplies, drones, and automotive sensors.
