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).
 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 V
RMS
 (Common mode). Failure to heed this warning 
could result in hardware damage.
