• Speciality and standard non-volatile memory devices
• Security devices (K
EELOQ
®
)
• Application specific standard products
Please request a Microchip Product Line Card for a listing of all the interesting products that we
have to offer. This literature can be obtained from your local sales office, or downloaded from the
Microchip web site (www.microchip.com).
1.2 Manual Objective
PICmicro and dsPIC30F devices are grouped by the size of their Instruction Word and Data Path.
The current device families are:
1. Base-Line: 12-bit Instruction Word length, 8-bit Data Path
2. Mid-Range: 14-bit Instruction Word length, 8-bit Data Path
3. High-End: 16-bit Instruction Word length, 8-bit Data Path
4. Enhanced: 16-bit Instruction Word length, 8-bit Data Path
5. dsPIC30F: 24-bit Instruction Word length, 16-bit Data Path
This manual describes the dsPIC30F 16-bit MCU family of devices.
This manual explains the operation of the dsPIC30F MCU family architecture and peripheral
modules, but does not cover the specifics of each device. The user should refer to the data sheet
for device specific information. The information that can be found in the data sheet includes:
• Device memory map
• Device pinout and packaging details
• Device electrical specifications
• List of peripherals included on the device
Code examples are given throughout this manual. These examples sometimes need to be
written as device specific as opposed to family generic, though they are valid for most other
devices. Some modifications may be required for devices with variations in register file
mappings.
