Microchip Unveils 200MHz dsPIC33AK256MPS306 DSC with Post-Quantum Security for $1.20
Microchip Technology has introduced the dsPIC33AK256MPS306 Digital Signal Controller, featuring a 200MHz 32-bit core, 78ps PWM resolution, multiple 40MSPS ADCs and hardware-accelerated post-quantum cryptography to secure AI data center power, motor control and sensing applications. Priced at $1.20 in high-volume orders, the device reduces BOM and accelerates time-to-market.
1. Product Features
The dsPIC33AK256MPS306 integrates a 200MHz 32-bit core with double-precision FPU, 78ps PWMs, multiple 40MSPS 12-bit ADCs, 5ns comparators and hardware-accelerated cryptography supporting CNSA Suite 2.0 post-quantum algorithms. It offers I3C, CANFD, LIN, SPI, I2C and SENT interfaces plus motor feedback support and functional safety qualification up to 150°C.
2. Development Ecosystem and Availability
Microchip supports the DSC with MPLAB X IDE, MPLAB Code Configurator, Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS and wolfCrypt libraries, alongside evaluation modules for motor control and power conversion. The dsPIC33AK256MPS306 is available for $1.20 each in high-volume orders through Microchip and global distributors.
