dsPIC gets two fast 16bit cores to speed development of high-performance power and motor control

Microchip has announced a dual-core 16bit dsPIC for high-end embedded control applications. Intended to speed code development by removing dependence between user-interface and real-time code, the cores are largely independent, each with its own set of peripherals, and communicating with each other only via FIFOs and mail-boxes – data and address busses are not shared. ...
