dsPIC33EP256MC506

The dsPIC33EP256MC506 External Op Amp Motor

Control PIM is designed to demonstrate the

capabilities of the dsPIC33EP256MC506 motor

control device, using external on-board op amps

with development boards, such as the dsPICDEM™

MCLV-2 Development Board (DM330021-2) and

the

dsPICDEM

MCHV-2

Development

Board

(DM330023-2),

which

support

100-pin

PIM

interfaces.

The dsPIC33EP256MC506 is a high-performance, 16-bit

Digital Signal Controller (DSC) in a 64-pin TQFP

package.

To operate this PIM with the dsPICDEM MCLV-2 and

dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development Boards, please insert

the External Op Amp Configuration Board into the

header, J4, (for the dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development

Board) or header, J14 (for the dsPICDEM MCLV-2

Development Board).

Figure 1 shows the connection location for the

dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development Board.

Warning: Do not connect non-isolated oscilloscope probes to the test points on the dsPIC33EP256MC506 External

Op Amp Motor Control PIM while using the PIM with the dsPICDEM™ MCHV-2 Development Board. Use

a high-voltage differential probe, rated in excess of 600 VRMS (Common mode). Failure to heed this warning

could result in hardware damage.
