MPLAB C30 C Compiler Coupon back

Welcome to the dsPIC30F Design Contest

Thank you for your interest in dsPIC® digital signal controllers and participating in

the dsPIC30F Design Contest. With this comprehensive development package,

you can develop a powerful contest entry and/or start product development today.

The dsPIC30F is a new breed of controller that combines the attributes of a 16-

bit microcontroller with a fully-featured digital signal processor (DSP). If you are

unfamiliar with DSP products, don’t worry. The dsPIC30F is designed to look and

feel like a microcontroller and uses the same tools, terms, etc.

The rst section of this document, An Overview on Entering the Design Contest,

discusses accessing the dsPIC30F Design Contest Project Entry Form on the

dsPIC30F Design Contest CD-ROM and entry submittal procedures.

The second section, dsPIC30F Design Contest Ofcial Rules, lists the rules that

govern the contest. Consider reviewing the rules before beginning your design.

The third section, located on the back cover of this document, is a limited time

special offer for the MPLAB® C30 C Compiler.

Sincerely,

dsPIC30F Marketing Team

Time based on the guidelines described below. The initial submissions

will be evaluated by a panel of Microchip employees with the top twenty

submissions selected as nalists. These nalist submissions will be

judged by a panel composed of three Microchip employees with each

submission receiving a numeric score based on the published judging

criteria described in dsPIC30F Design Contest Kit. Scores will be ranked

from highest to lowest with the ranking used to assign prizes. The total

number of entries is limited to the number of dsPIC30F Design Contest

Kits sold. Odds of winning the grand prize is based on number of entries

with odds equal to or better than 1 in 5000.

Prizes

Contest winners will be ranked by their respective scores with the highest

ranking score receiving rst prize, the second highest score receiving

second prize, etc. In the event of a tie, a random drawing conducted by

Microchip will determine prize assignment order.

$15,000USD Cash. The second place prize is a 43” Plasma Television

or $7,500USD Cash. The third place prize is a DVD Home Theater

Entertainment System or $3,000USD Cash. The fourth place prize is a

Microchip MPLAB® ICE 4000 In-Circuit Emulator. The fth through ninth

place prize is a Microchip MPLAB C30 C Compiler (one prize awarded to

each of the ve winners for this prize level). The tenth through fourteenth

place prize is a Microchip MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger (one prize
