DSPIC33EP256GP504T-I/TL

Microcontrollers Overview

The dsPIC33EP256GP504T-I/TL is a 16-bit Digital Signal Controller from the Microchip dsPIC33E family, featuring 256 KB of Flash memory and 32 KB of RAM. It operates at up to 60 MIPS with a maximum clock frequency of 60 MHz within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes a VTLA-44 package and supports a supply voltage of 3.0V to 3.6V. Key peripherals include two UARTs, two SPI modules, two I2C interfaces, and an ECAN module.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Features high-speed PWM generation with independent timing and programmable fault inputs for motor control applications.
• Includes advanced analog capabilities such as configurable ADCs, op amps, comparators, and CTMU for capacitive touch sensing.
• Supports flexible peripheral pin selection (PPS) allowing digital function remapping across available pins.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Motor control systems including BLDC, PMSM, ACIM, and SRM drives
• Power conversion equipment such as DC/DC converters, AC/DC inverters, and PFC circuits
• Industrial communication networks requiring CAN bus and serial protocol support

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/TL' against official datasheets to confirm the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and VTLA-44 packaging. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin assignments and power requirements before procurement.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when 256 KB of program memory and 32 KB of data RAM are required alongside integrated analog features. It is suitable for designs needing multiple communication interfaces and precise timing control without external components.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the dsPIC33EPXXXGP50X general-purpose family. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but differs in memory size and pin count. The GP504 variant specifically targets applications balancing processing power with extensive peripheral integration.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include dsPIC33EP128GP504 or dsPIC33EP512GP504, depending on memory requirements. Verify pin compatibility and peripheral availability when considering alternative memory configurations.
