Interview With Alexis Alcott, Associate Director of Marketing at Microchip Technology Inc.
Motor control, digital power, advanced sensing and control, safety-critical and high-performance embedded applications all come with an array of design challenges. Engineers may need to implement high-precision variable speed in a motor control application or high-speed control loop execution in power conversion applications. Designs may also need functional safety compliance, while industrial automation applications can require math-intensive functions. To address these design requirements in the field, a high-performance solution is typically needed to provide the processing power of a Digital Signal Controller (DSC) and the design simplicity of a microcontroller (MCU).
In this podcast episode, Alexis Alcott, associate director of marketing for the dsPIC Digital Signal Controller Business Unit at Microchip, discusses the world of Digital Signal Controllers. Topics covered include the differences between DSCs and microcontrollers, and how a DSC can operate low latency in applications including precision motor control, digital power conversion and advanced sensing.

Beyond the Microchip
So much of our daily lives are controlled or influenced by electronics. We rely on GPS to direct us, we hit "brew" on our coffee machines for our mornin' cup of Joe, we wave our hands over a sensor to get running water from a faucet, and press a button to open our garage doors.
But do we really know what's going on inside? Are we aware of the universe of technology and calculations going on right under our nose?
Beyond the Microchip takes you inside the world of Embedded Control technologies to understand how the chips and sensors we can't see impact our lives in dramatic ways. They remind us why we have and embrace technology, to enhance the human experience.
Join us each episode as we look at an aspect of our daily lives that shapes what it means to be human and how we can empower the innovation that enhances that experience through Microchip Technology. Subscribe to Beyond the Microchip wherever you get your podcasts.
