Helping you migrate cost-sensitive designs to 16 MIPS, 
Microcontroller and Digital Signal Controller  performance, 
this new series of ‘MC’ and ‘GP’ families of Microchip 
PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC® Digital Signal 
Controllers (DSCs) provide breakthrough performance for 
higher motor control effi ciency and more intelligent sensing 
applications.
Give your cost-sensitive motor control and sensor designs 
a boost in performance with these latest controllers 
from Microchip. The ‘MC’ families of PIC24FJ16 MCUs 
and dsPIC33FJ16 DSCs are optimized for sensored 
and sensorless motor control applications using a wide 
range of algorithms, while the dsPIC33FJ16 ‘GP’ family 
is designed for advanced, general-purpose sensing. Both 
families integrate an on-chip Charge Time Measurement 
Unit (CTMU) and a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) 
in addition to three analog comparators, a Real-Time Clock/
Calendar (RTCC) and timers as well as input capture and 
output compare modules. All in space-saving packages with 
footprints down to 5 mm and up to 36 pins.
The ‘GP’ dsPIC DSCs also give you up to 21 general output 
pins for driving intelligent sensors, while the ‘MC’ MCUs and 
DSCs simplify motor control with a 6-channel Pulse Width 
Modulation (PWM) module and synchronized outputs for 
3-phase operation. This allows you to drive higher effi ciency, 
quieter operation, smoother torque and high reliability across 
a range of motor control applications.
