Overview
The dsPIC33CH128MP508 General Purpose Explorer 16/32 PIM (MA330040) is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the dsPIC33CH128MP508 family using the Explorer 16 or Explorer 16/32 Development Board.
The devices from the dsPIC33CH128MP508 family are the first Microchip dual core, 16-bit microcontrollers. The dsPIC33CH128MP508 has two Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) cores that can run independently at different device frequencies.
The dsPIC33CH128MP508 is a dual core device. The Master core, as well the Slave, can be debugged and programed using this PIM. Since there are two cores available in the dsPIC33CH128MP508 device, there are multiple ways to program and debug the Master and the Slave.
The four scenarios are:
1. Master = Release, Slave = Release
2. Master = Debug, Slave = Release
3. Master = Release, Slave = Debug
4. Master = Debug, Slave = Debug (e.g., “Dual Debug” mode)

The Explorer 16/32 Development Board is a low-cost modular development system for Microchip's 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. It supports devices from the PIC24F, dsPIC®, and PIC32 families, with processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs) for easy device swapping. It includes a PICtail™ Plus daughter card connector for adding new functionalities.
