Model-Based Designs for Advanced Sensing Applications
Advanced Sensing With MATLAB® Simulink® for Our dsPIC33 DSCs
Model-Based Design, Code Generation and Real-Time Debugging
Simplify your embedded design with the MATLAB Simulink and our MPLAB® Device Blocks for Simulink that provide a Model-Based Design (MDB) platform. The code generated from the Simulink model enables our DSCs to rapidly and effortlessly deliver advanced sensing and real-time control in your applications.
MPLAB Device Blocks for Simulink
Create stand-alone applications from a Simulink discrete time model and with just one click, generate, compile and load the code for your application onto your target device. MPLAB Device Blocks for Simulink is a free set of user interfaces and Simulink peripheral blocks for developing complex designs based on our dsPIC33A and dsPIC33C DSCs.
Key Features
- Blocks for peripherals: Digital In/Out, Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), Change Notification, Output Compare, Input Capture, QEI®, I2C, SPI, UART, Interrupt and Reset
- Target configuration blocks: Master block, Simulink reset config, compiler option, data sheet, MCU overload, MCU load, task state and scheduler option
- Ability to invoke dedicated functions written in C through a C Function Call block
- Real-time view/analyze or log variables within MATLAB through a configurable, PICGUI interface
- Supports MathWorks® Processor In the Loop (PIL) and MathWorks External Mode
- MPLAB Device Blocks for Simulink tools can be used with the DSP System Toolbox and Signal Processing Toolbox
- This enables the implementation of filters and signal-processing algorithms for sensor data processing
- dsPIC® DSP library integrated in MATLAB for math-intensive operations
