What is diffrent betwen PIC vs dsPIC

[mizk_electro]

Hello friends,

Maybe you can give some points whats diffrent between PIC & dsPIC, what it could do & what it cannot ?

Thnks.

dsPIC is suited for application that requires DSP processing, as normal PIC is not able to do DSP fast enough. With the more capability provided by dsPIC, it is of course more expensive and complex to use. Hope this explains the differences.

i think dsPIC is way better at floating math work too. It has what are called accumulators that make heavy math much easier. Heres a starting point. http://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/archives/31-1/DSP.html

PIC are 8 bit MCU, the DSPIC are bit 16 MCU with added DSP core
