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
