Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has introduced the MPLAB XC-DSC Compiler, bolstering its suite of development tools to cater to the escalating demand for efficient coding and debugging solutions within the burgeoning industrial and autonomous vehicles sectors.
Specifically tailored for dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), prevalent in real-time control systems, the MPLAB XC-DSC Compiler stands out for its optimization capabilities. It empowers developers to craft high-performance code with greater ease and efficiency, addressing the intricate requirements of real-time applications in these dynamic industries.
Distinguishing itself from conventional licensing models, the MPLAB XC-DSC Compiler offers a PRO license with access to a range of optimizations. These enhancements include code size reduction and power efficiency improvements, presenting developers with flexibility in licensing options such as per-project or on-demand access. The available licenses encompass Workstation, Network Server, Subscription, and Site Licenses, catering to diverse project and usage needs.
Operating seamlessly across Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems, the MPLAB XC compilers integrate flawlessly with the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This comprehensive integration aims to streamline embedded development processes, reducing complexities and enhancing workflow efficiency.
The MPLAB XC-DSC Compiler is readily available for free download from Microchip’s website, offering PRO optimization licenses starting at $44. Interested parties can access further details or make acquisitions through Microchip’s network of authorized distributors or via the company’s dedicated online portal.
