DSPIC33FJ16GP101-E/SS

Microcontrollers Overview

The dsPIC33FJ16GP101-E/SS is a 16-bit digital signal controller from Microchip Technology, operating at up to 16 MIPS with a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V. It features 16 Kbytes of program Flash memory and 1 Kbyte of RAM within an SSOP-20 package. The device includes three PWM pairs, a 10-bit ADC with four sample-and-hold channels, three comparators, and a Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU). It supports AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification for extended temperature ranges up to +150°C.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrated motor control peripherals including three PWM pairs with fault inputs and synchronization capabilities
• High-performance 16-bit CPU architecture featuring dual 40-bit accumulators and single-cycle multiply-accumulate operations
• Advanced analog subsystem comprising a 10-bit ADC, comparators, and CTMU for capacitive touch sensing

Microcontrollers Applications

• Inverters, PFC, and UPS systems
• BLDC, PMSM, ACIM, and SRM motor drives
• AEC-Q100 qualified automotive electronics

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-E/SS' corresponds to the required industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C) and SSOP-20 package configuration. Confirm that the 'GP' variant designation aligns with your peripheral requirements, as it lacks the dedicated motor control PWM fault pins found in the 'MC' series. Ensure compatibility with your design's pinout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of DSP functionality and general-purpose I/O is required without the dedicated motor control pin mapping of the MC series. The GP variant offers remappable peripherals suitable for flexible system integration. Consider the MC series if hardware-level PWM fault handling is mandatory for safety-critical applications.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This device belongs to the dsPIC33FJ16(GP/MC)101/102 family, which provides 16 Kbytes of Flash and 1 Kbyte of RAM. It shares the core dsPIC33F CPU architecture with higher-density counterparts like the dsPIC33FJ32 series but offers a reduced peripheral set optimized for cost-sensitive embedded applications requiring digital signal processing capabilities.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

dsPIC33FJ16GP101-E/P or -SO variants offer alternative packages with identical electrical characteristics. For enhanced motor control features, consider the dsPIC33FJ16MC101-E/SS, which includes dedicated PWM fault pins.
