IEC 60730 Functional Safety With dsPIC33A and dsPIC33C DSCs

Household Appliance Functional Safety DSCs for IEC 60730-Compliant Applications


The dsPIC33 Class B Safety Software Library helps developers meet the safety requirements defined by the IEC 60730 standard, which is mandatory for many household appliances. The IEC 60730 standard defines testing and diagnostic procedures intended to support the safe operation of electronic controls in appliances, with Class B routines focused on detecting any potential faults within the dsPIC33 Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs).

The library provides a set of software routines and hardware peripherals that help simplify compliance with IEC 60730 Class B requirements. These routines can be directly integrated into end-user applications to test and verify critical controller functions. The Class B safety software routines are certified by UL and verified by VDE.

Target Applications


To design safe and reliable household appliances that target IEC 60730 Class B compliance, we offer a broad portfolio of IEC 60730 functional safety-ready dsPIC33 Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) that can serve as the main controller for applications such as:

  • Advanced sensing and control
  • Motor control
  • Digital power
  • Touch
  • Connectivity 
  • High-performance embedded designs
