Product details

Overview

MA330015 from Microchip Technology is a dsPIC33FJ12GP202 Plug-In Module (PIM) designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the dsPIC33FJ12GP202 16-bit digital signal controller in a 28-pin 6×6 mm QFN package. It supports Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), enables remapping of digital peripherals to any available I/O pin, and interfaces with the Explorer 16 Development Board via zero-ohm resistors and test points for rapid prototyping in motor control and sensor interface applications.

For engineers reviewing the MA330015 datasheet, MA330015 pinout, MA330015 application, or MA330015 equivalent, this PIM provides verified hardware mapping between the 28-pin dsPIC33FJ12GP202 device and the 100-pin Explorer 16 platform - including debug (PGED3/PGEC3), UART (U1RX/U1TX), analog inputs (AN0–AN9), and GPIO (RP0–RP15) routing - enabling fast validation of peripheral configurations and firmware integration.

Technical Context

The MA330015 implements a fixed hardware adapter that maps all 28 pins of the dsPIC33FJ12GP202 to designated Explorer 16 header positions using zero-ohm jumpers and test points. Its design leverages the device's Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) capability, allowing runtime reassignment of functions like UART, SPI, and interrupt inputs without PCB redesign.

This PIM supports full debug access via PGED3/PGEC3 (ICD3-compatible), includes dedicated connections for EEPROM (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO), temperature sensor, potentiometer, LEDs (D3–D6), and pushbuttons (SW3/SW6), and maintains VDD/VSS/AVDD/AVSS and VCAP power integrity per Microchip's recommended layout for the dsPIC33FJ12GP202.

FAQ

What is the MA330015 and how does it differ from a standalone dsPIC33FJ12GP202 IC?

The MA330015 is a plug-in module (PIM), not an IC - it integrates the dsPIC33FJ12GP202 QFN device onto a carrier board with 100-pin header interface for Explorer 16. Unlike the bare IC, MA330015 provides pre-routed debug, analog, and peripheral signals via zero-ohm resistors and test points, eliminating manual breakout and enabling immediate evaluation. The dsPIC33FJ12GP202 itself remains unchanged in silicon.

Does the MA330015 support Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) functionality out of the box?

Yes - the MA330015 fully preserves and exposes the dsPIC33FJ12GP202's PPS capability. All RPn pins (RP0–RP15) are brought out to test points, allowing firmware-level remapping of UART, SPI, PWM, and interrupt functions to alternate pins without hardware modification. This is confirmed in DS70313A, Table 1 and Figure 2.

Which Explorer 16 Development Board features are directly accessible via the MA330015?

The MA330015 connects to Explorer 16 pins for EEPROM (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO), UART (U1RX/U1TX/RTS/CTS), analog inputs (AN0–AN9), LEDs (D3–D6), switches (SW3/SW6), and debug (PGED3/PGEC3). These mappings are fixed per DS70313A Table 1 and enable immediate use of Explorer 16's onboard peripherals without jumper configuration.

Can the MA330015 be used with MPLAB X IDE and ICD3 debugger?

Yes - the MA330015 routes PGED3 and PGEC3 to Explorer 16 pins 27 and 26, matching the standard ICD3 debug header assignment. When installed on an Explorer 16 board with ICD3 connected, MA330015 supports full programming, real-time debugging, and register inspection of the dsPIC33FJ12GP202 within MPLAB X IDE without adapter cables or pin translation.

Is the MA330015 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes - as a Microchip-branded development tool released in 2007 under DS70313A, the MA330015 conforms to Microchip's environmental compliance policy and is manufactured with lead-free terminations and RoHS-compliant materials, consistent with Microchip's global quality system certified to ISO/TS-16949:2002.
