Product details
Overview
AC164336 from Microchip Technology is a 28-pin dsPIC30F1010-based development board designed for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) control, featuring a 16-bit digital signal controller with 6 KB Flash, 256 bytes RAM, dual PWM modules (4 outputs), 10-bit 2 Msps ADC with 6-channel input, and integrated analog comparators for real-time current/voltage sensing in isolated DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AC164336 datasheet, AC164336 pinout, AC164336 application, or AC164336 equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware interface details, SMPS-specific peripheral mapping, supported programming/debug interfaces (ICSP™, ICD), and validated alternative evaluation platforms for digital power design validation and firmware prototyping.
Technical Context
The AC164336 implements the dsPIC30F1010 microcontroller in a fixed 28-pin SDIP/SOIC/QFN-S package configuration, targeting high-efficiency, digitally controlled AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies. It integrates dedicated SMPS peripherals including two independent PWM generators (PWM1L/H, PWM2L/H), four analog comparators with 20 ns response, and ADC-triggered PWM synchronization for closed-loop current-mode control.
Its architecture supports real-time execution of control algorithms at up to 30 MIPS using a modified Harvard CPU with DSP engine (17×17 multiplier, 40-bit accumulators), while maintaining compatibility with Microchip's MPLAB® IDE and dsPIC Digital Power Starter Kit ecosystem for rapid algorithm development and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the AC164336 evaluation board?
The AC164336 evaluation board is a fully assembled and tested hardware platform built around the dsPIC30F1010 digital signal controller, optimized for developing and validating digitally controlled switch-mode power supplies. It provides accessible test points, jumper-configurable PWM outputs, analog sensor inputs, and on-board debugging interfaces to enable rapid firmware iteration and closed-loop control algorithm verification for AC/DC and isolated DC/DC converters.
Does the AC164336 support in-circuit programming and debugging?
Yes, the AC164336 supports full In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) and In-Circuit Debug (ICD) via its standard 6-pin RJ-11 connector, compatible with Microchip's PICkit™ 3 and REAL ICE™ debuggers. The board routes PGD/PGC and EMUD/EMUC signals directly from the dsPIC30F1010 to the connector, enabling non-intrusive firmware loading, real-time breakpoints, register inspection, and variable watch during SMPS control loop development.
Which PWM and analog features of the dsPIC30F1010 are exposed on the AC164336 board?
The AC164336 exposes both PWM generator pairs (PWM1L/H and PWM2L/H), four analog comparator inputs (CMP1A–D, CMP2A–D), six ADC channels (AN0–AN5), AVDD/AVSS references, and dedicated fault pins (SFLT1–SFLT3). All signals are routed to test points and 0.1"-spaced headers, allowing direct oscilloscope probing, external gate driver interfacing, and analog feedback injection for current-mode or voltage-mode control validation.
Can the AC164336 be used with Microchip's dsPIC Digital Power Plug-in for MPLAB® IDE?
Yes, the AC164336 is fully supported by Microchip's dsPIC Digital Power Plug-in for MPLAB® IDE v3.x and later. This integration enables graphical configuration of PWM timing, ADC triggers, comparator thresholds, and control loop parameters, followed by automatic C code generation and download to the AC164336's dsPIC30F1010 - streamlining development of PID, average-current-mode, or peak-current-mode control firmware without low-level register coding.
Is the AC164336 compatible with other dsPIC30F devices beyond the dsPIC30F1010?
No, the AC164336 is specifically designed for and populated with the dsPIC30F1010 in 28-pin SDIP/SOIC/QFN-S packages only. While it shares peripheral architecture with the dsPIC30F2020/2023 family, differences in pin count (28 vs. 44), PWM channel count (4 vs. 8), ADC inputs (6 vs. 12), and comparator count (4 vs. 8) prevent direct substitution. Firmware and hardware layout must be validated separately for each device variant.
