The launch of the dsPIC33C DSC, which enables robust and safe automotive solutions with support for AUTOSAR, OS, MCAL drivers, and functional safety, is expected to simplify automotive design and implement strong security.

Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced a comprehensive ecosystem for its AUTOSAR-enabled dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), enabling automotive developers to design scalable applications for future technologies while meeting the latest automotive requirements.

The ecosystem accelerates development and supports exceptional levels of system optimization while reducing total system cost.

Microchip expands its extensive dsPIC33C DSC portfolio into the high-memory segment with the new ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx family of devices.

This new dsPIC33C DSC family with 1MB of Flash supports applications that drive automotive software such as AUTOSAR, OS, MCAL drivers, ISO 26262 functional safety diagnostics, and security libraries.

The dsPIC33 DSC family is used in general automotive, advanced sensing and control, and digitalIncludes a high-performance central processing unit (CPU) and specialized peripherals that provide deterministic response for fur power and motor control applications.

“The AUTOSAR-enabled dsPIC33C DSCs enable developers to implement AUTOSAR-based applications, functional safety goals and security use cases on a single microcontroller (MCU) to achieve a high level of system optimization and meet automotive application requirements,” said Joe Thomsen, vice president of Microchip’s MCU16 business unit. “This opens up possibilities for developers working with Microchip to expand into e-mobility and advanced sensing and control applications.”
