DSCs blend the features of both MCUs and DSPs into a single-chip solution enabling you to add DSP features to your embedded application. Microchip offers two compatible Flash-based 16-bit DSC families. The 30 MIPS dsPIC30F family is designed for applications where 5 V operation is important, and the 40 MIPS dsPIC33F family is suited for applications preferring 3.3 V or need more on-chip memory. Both DSC families and the PIC24 families have the same base instruction set (DSCs add DSP instructions), share basic peripherals, have common pinouts and use the same tools for development. The 30 MIPS dsPIC30F family is developed for applications that benefit from a wide operating voltage (2.5 to 5.5 Volts), extremely low standby current, integrated EEPROM, and for those that prefer 5 V operation due to system considerations. Standard Flash Memory
The 24AA08T-I/OT is a 8kB I²C serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial interface. Low-voltage design permits operation down to 1.7V, with standby and active currents of only 1µA and 1mA, respectively. The 24XX08 also has a page write capability for up to 16 bytes of data.
The 24LC32AT-I/OT is a 32kB I²C serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) organized as a single block of 4K x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial interface. Low-voltage design permits operation down to 1.7V, with standby and active currents of only 1mA and 1mA, respectively. It has been developed for advanced, low-power applications such as personal communications or data acquisition. The 24XX32A also has a page write capability for up to 32 bytes of data. Functional address lines allow up to eight devices on the same bus, for up to 256kB address space.
