Hi I am very confused and would appreciate some help.
I've been looking for a controller that has lots of independently controlled PWM outputs and so far the dsPIC33EP512MU814 seems to have the most. If you look at the product selection chart **broken link removed** it mentions that this controller has 30 PWM outputs but if you go to the datasheet https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/70616g.pdf
I can only see that there are 14 PWM pins on the 144 pin package.

Can someone please explain why it says that there are 30 PWM outputs when there are only 14.

Much appreciated
 

See this page for that chip's summary:

https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=dsPIC33EP512MU814

The 30 includes:
  • 14 dedicated High-Speed PWM channels.
  • 16 standard Output Compare/PWM channels.

The standard channels are not listed specifically on the pinout as PWM pins because they are multipurpose pins.

See sections 13 and 14 of the dsPIC33E/PIC24E Family Reference Manual for how to use the two different types of PWM.
