Microchip Technology dsPIC33C AUTOSAR-ready digital signal controllers

Click2Contact

Microchip is expanding its broad portfolio of dsPIC33C digital signal controllers (DSCs) to cover the large memory segment with the ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx family. This family of DSCs with 1 MB Flash enables applications running automotive software like AUTOSAR, OS, MCAL drivers, ISO 26262 functional safety diagnostics and security libraries. The family also includes a high-performance central processing unit (CPU) with deterministic response and specialised peripherals for general automotive, advanced sensing and control, digital power and motor control applications.

The benefit of adopting AUTOSAR-ready devices like this one is that users can improve their risk and complexity management while decreasing development time through reusability. Those who have previously designed bare metal or non-AUTOSAR automotive applications and are now adopting AUTOSAR can scale up by staying within the dsPIC33C DSC ecosystem and continuing to take advantage of Microchip’s value-added solutions, customer support and product advantages with the AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs. The AUTOSAR ecosystem for the DSCs includes MICROSAR Classic from Vector, KSAR OS from KPIT Technologies and ASPICE- and ASIL B-compliant MCAL drivers from Microchip.

Microchip has expanded its functional safety packages that include FMEDA reports, safety manuals and diagnostic libraries to cover the ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx DSCs. The AUTOSAR-ready DSCs, used together with Microchip’s TA100 CryptoAutomotive security integrated circuits (ICs), enable the implementation of robust security in automotive designs.
