Checking Device Support
In MATLAB/Simulink
- Create a blank Simulink model and add a Microchip Master block from the MPLAB Device Blocks library
- Double-click the Master block to open its configuration dialog
- Open the device dropdown menu at the top of the dialog — it lists every supported device, grouped by family. If your part is in the dropdown, it is supported.
📋 Full Supported Device List — the complete list of all 833 supported devices by name.
Online device list
The full list of supported devices is also published on the product pages:
- MathWorks File Exchange: MPLAB Device Blocks for Simulink
- GitHub: MPLAB-Blockset/MPLAB-Device-Blocks-for-Simulink
Device Family Packs (DFP)
Device support requires appropriate DFP installation:
- dsPIC → dsPIC33A-MP_DFP, dsPIC33C-MP_DFP, dsPIC33E-GP/MC_DFP
- PIC32 → PIC32MK-MC/GP_DFP, PIC32MZ-EF_DFP
- SAM → SAME5x_DFP, SAME7x_DFP, SAMC2x_DFP
Note: DFPs are automatically installed with MPLAB X IDE or can be downloaded separately from Microchip Packs Repository.
