The 56F8006/56F8002 is a member of the 56800E core-based family of digital signal controllers (DSCs). It combines, on a single chip, the processing power of a DSP and the functionality of a microcontroller with a flexible set of peripherals to create an extremely cost-effective solution. Because of its low cost, configuration flexibility, and compact program code, the 56F8006/56F8002 is well-suited for many applications. The 56F8006/56F8002 includes many peripherals that are especially useful for cost-sensitive applications, including:

• Industrial control

• Home appliances

• Smart sensors

• Fire and security systems

• Switched-mode power supply and power management

• Power metering

• Motor control (ACIM, BLDC, PMSM, SR, and stepper)

• Handheld power tools

• Arc detection

• Medical device/equipment

• Instrumentation

• Lighting ballast
