Tools support digital
signal controller designs
Microchip has released a range of 19 new tools and application aids to enhance development for its dsPIC 16bit digital signal controller (DSC) architecture
A series of essential software development tools, high-level libraries, application designs and development boards give designers the resources they need. The development tools for Microchip's 16bit dsPIC DSC include the MPlab integrated development environment (IDE). The MPlab In-Circuit debugger 2 (ICD 2), also a device programmer, now supports the dsPIC DSC architecture.

In fact, these tools are the platform for all of Microchip's microcontrollers and DSCs.
Additional software tools include the MPlab Visual Device Initializer (VDI), as well as three real time operating systems (RTOSs) from CMX.
In addition, there is a filter design package and its companion dsPICworks Visual Algorithm Analyser.
Microchip is also introducing several high-level and utility libraries that give developers the ability to add powerful functionality to their application with a minimal learning curve.
Initial high-level libraries include software modems, TCP/IP, and motor control.
Microchip also offers free DSP, maths and peripheral utility libraries.
The four new hardware development boards are ideal prototyping tools to develop and validate designs with Microchip's dsPIC DSC architecture.
The dsPICdem starter demonstration board allows the user to easily validate a development idea using the dsPIC30F6012 (144Kbyte Flash).
The dsPIC30F2010-based (12Kbyte Flash) dsPICdem 28-pin starter demonstration board enables the user to validate a development tool setup using a 28-pin SDIP or SOIC dsPIC30F device.
The dsPIC30F6014-based (144Kbyte Flash) dsPICdem 1.1 general purpose development board provides the application designer with a powerful development tool to become familiar with the dsPIC30F 16bit architecture.
The dsPIC30F6014 also features on the dsPICdem connectivity development boards.
These provide the developer a basic connectivity platform for developing and evaluating various connectivity solutions.
