Microchip announces 16-bit, 60-MIPS dsPIC® digital signal controllers (DSCs) and PIC24 microcontrollers. The 60-MIPS dsPIC33 and PIC24 'E' are based on the next-generation core and feature more memory and greater integration than previous-generation core dsPIC and PIC24 DSCs. This translates to 536 KB of Flash memory, 52 KB of RAM, increased I/O capacity in 144-pin packages, a USB 2.0 OTG interface, and enhanced functionality for motor control, graphics, audio, and real-time embedded control.
