later to enable easy digital management of power supplies.

The latest dsPIC33 “GS” and dsPIC33CH “MP” families

support the PMBus protocol along with many other dsPIC33

DSCs and PIC24 MCUs. A PMBus stack is available for free

for use with dsPIC33 DSCs.

Functional Safety and Robust Usages

Safety Critical Applications and

Class B Certification

PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC33 DSCs include integrated safety

features to ease implementation of IEC 60730 compliance for

Class B safety.

The CRC provides a memory integrity check and devices also

include memory error correction. In addition, dsPIC33 devices

with Error-Correcting Code (ECC) include 2-bit error detection

and single-bit error correction for enhanced reliability, com-

pletely transparent and real-time implementation.

The memory also has read/write protection capability to protect

sections of memory from code flow changes or interrupt vec-

tors. You can establish zones that have different permissions,

and you can define secure areas that should not be entered

without the proper permissions.

Products include a backup system oscillator for system

redundancy as well as clock-fail detection. A windowed

watchdog timer will detect and reset the MCU in event of code

execution error, with a dedicated clock source independent

of the system clock. A Dead-Man Timer (DMT), clocked from

the main system clock, is useful for detecting and recovering

software malfunctions. The PWMs include fault detection

features and the CPU includes trap instructions and illegal

opcode detection.

The UL and VDE certified Class B software stack helps to

simplify IEC 60730 regulatory compliance. This library routines

integrate into the MCU application to test and verify the critical

functionalities without affecting the end application. For more

information, visit www.microchip.com/16bitfunctionalsafety.

Robust Package Options for IPC-9592B

Some dsPIC33 “GS” devices are available with robust pack-

age options to help with operation in extremely noisy environ-

ments. These packages make it easier to achieve IPC-9592B

qualification. Options include a 28-pin µQFN (4 × 4 mm) or 28-

pin µQFN (6 × 6 mm). These package options are designed

to withstand temperature cycling as defined in IPC-9592B

with over 700 cycles of −40°C/+125°C on thick high-layer

count PCBs.

Robust 3V Operation

With operating voltages as low as 1.8V and up to 3.6V, PIC24

MCUs and dsPIC33 DSCs ensure robust operation such as:

• POR/BOR/Watchdog Timer (WDT)

• Support for temperatures up to 150°C

• AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification for automotive

applications

Enhanced Robustness with 5V Operation

Microchip’s PIC24 MCU and dsPIC33 DSC portfolios include

families that operate up to 5V for increased noise immunity and

robustness. Devices with 5V operation provide more dynamic

range for signals and improved sensitivity. The 5V devices

include additional features to ensure robust operation such as:

• Backup system oscillator

• Windowed watchdog timer (WWDT)

• PWM with fault detection

• Support for temperatures up to 150°C

• AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification for

automotive applications

A variety of devices are also rated for operation up to 125°C

or 150°C ambient temperature for the most extreme automo-

tive and industrial applications, including AEC-Q100 Grade

0 qualification. Some target applications require operation in

extreme environmental conditions. PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC33
