DFPIC166X

DFPIC166X 8-Bit PIC Microcontroller IP Core – High-Speed, Low-Power, Fully Customizable

The DFPIC166X is a low-cost, high-performance, fully static 8-bit soft IP Core, engineered for ultra-low power consumption while delivering excellent speed and efficiency. Fully software-compatible with industry-standard PIC 16XXX Microcontrollers, the DFPIC166X is designed for embedded applications where performance, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are critical.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Harvard Architecture: Separate instruction and data memories with independent buses allow simultaneous instruction fetch and data operations, ensuring high throughput.

• Multi-Stage Pipeline: Overlaps instruction fetch and memory transfers, delivering 2× faster execution compared to standard PIC16XXX cores.

• Dual-Port Memory: 14-bit program memory and 8-bit dual-port data memory enable concurrent operations for maximum efficiency.

• Low-Power Operation: Built-in power-save mode makes the DFPIC166X ideal for energy-sensitive applications.

• Versatile Applications: Suited for high-speed automotive and appliance motor control, low-power remote transmitters/receivers, pointing devices, and telecom processors.

• Full Customization: Delivered in an exact configuration to match project-specific requirements, eliminating unused features and wasted silicon.

• Automated Verification: Comes with a fully automated test bench and comprehensive test set, allowing seamless SoC validation at every stage.

DoCD™ Real-Time Hardware Debugging:
The DFPIC166X includes DCD’s proprietary DoCD™ debugger, enabling non-intrusive, real-time SoC debugging. DoCD™ can halt, run, step into, or skip instructions and access all microcontroller contents, including registers, SFRs, user-defined peripherals, and program/data memories.

Applications: Automotive electronics, low-power embedded systems, telecom devices, motor controllers, battery-operated IoT devices, and general-purpose SoCs requiring fast, low-power 8-bit PIC cores.

ALL DCD’S IP CORES ARE TECHNOLOGY AGNOSTIC, ENSURING 100% COMPATIBILITY WITH ALL FPGA AND ASIC VENDORS.
