dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202
The dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 family devices that you
have received conform functionally to the current
Device Data Sheet (DS70265E), except for the
anomalies described in this document.
The silicon issues discussed in the following pages are
for silicon revisions with the Device and Revision IDs
listed in Table 1. The silicon issues are summarized in
Table 2.
The errata described in this document will be addressed
in future revisions of the dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 silicon.
Data Sheet clarifications and corrections start on page 11,
following the discussion of silicon issues.
The silicon revision level can be identified using the
current version of MPLAB
®
IDE and Microchip’s
programmers, debuggers and emulation tools, which
are available at the Microchip corporate web site
(www.microchip.com).
For example, to identify the silicon revision level using
MPLAB IDE in conjunction with MPLAB ICD 3 or
PICkit™ 3:
1. Using the appropriate interface, connect the device
to the MPLAB ICD 3 programmer/debugger or
PICkit 3.
2. From the main menu in MPLAB IDE, select
C
onfigure>Select Device, and then select the
target part number in the dialog box.
3. Select the MPLAB hardware tool
(Debugger
>Select Tool).
4. Perform a “Connect” operation to the device
(Debugger
>Connect). Depending on the devel-
opment tool used, the part number and Device
Revision ID value appear in the Output window.
The Device and Revision ID values for the various
dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 silicon revisions are shown
in Table 1.
Note: This document summarizes all silicon
errata issues from all revisions of silicon,
previous as well as current. Only the
issues indicated in the last column of
Table 2 apply to the current silicon
revision (A5).
Note: If you are unable to extract the silicon
revision level, please contact your local
Microchip sales office for assistance.
