16 Bit Digital Signal Controllers (DSC)
16 Bit Digital Signal Controllers (DSC)
A 16 bit digital signal controller is a hybrid between a microcontroller and a digital signal processor (DSP). It is therefore a self-contained system with memory, a processor and peripherals that can be used as an embedded system. Another name for a 16 bit microcontroller is "embedded 16 bit controller." Some embedded systems are more sophisticated, while others have minimal requirements for programming length and memory with a low software complexity. Input and output devices include LCD displays, relays, solenoids, switches and data sensors. Digital signal controllers incorporate features that can be found on DSP devices like single-cycle multiply–accumulate units, large accumulators and barrel shifters. Digital signal controllers can be used for motor control, sensor processing and power conversion applications and are being marketed as green technologies due to their ability to reduce power consumption in power supplies and electric motors.
Types of 16 bit Microcontrollers:
There are many different kinds of programmable 16 bit microcontrollers. At Future Electronics, we stock several of the most common types categorized by many parameters including number of input/output lines, Flash size, packaging type, RAM size, speed and supply voltage. The parametric filters found on our website allow you to refine your search results as per the specifications required.
With 16 bit digital signal controllers, the most common sizes for RAM are 512 B, 1 kB, 2 kB, 4 kB, 8 kB, 16 kB and 30 kB. We also carry 16 bit digital signal with RAM sizes up to 280 kB. Flash sizes can range from 6 kB to 1.5 MB, with the most common sizes being 12 kB, 16 kB, 24 kB, 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 144 kB and 256 kB.
Programmable microcontrollers contain input/output pins of which the number may vary depending on the microcontroller. These pins can be configured by software to an input or an output state. When configured to an input state, they can be used to read external signals or sensors. When configured to an output state, these pins can drive external devices like motors and LED displays.
