PICDEM 4 Demonstration Board Summary The PICDEM 4 Demonstration Board supports Microchip s low pin-count PICmicroFLASH microcontrollers,including the PIC16F and PIC18F families featuring nanoWatt Technology. NanoWatt Technology refers to Microchip s advanced PMOS Electrically Erasable Cell (PEEC) process technology, circuit design, manufacturing and application techniques. The PICDEM 4 Demonstration Board can be used to evaluate and demonstrate the capabilities of Microchip s 8-, 14- and 18-pin PIC12F, PIC16F and PIC18F microcontrollers. The demonstration board showcases many features of low pin-count parts, including Local Interconnect Network (LIN) and motor control features using the enhanced capture/compare/PWM module (ECCP). Low-power operation is achieved with a supercapacitor circuit and jumpers allow the on-board hardware to be disabled to eliminate current draw in this mode. Features: Key features of the PICDEM 4 Demonstration Board Tutorial firmware and samples of a PIC16F and PIC18F include: FLASH microcontroller are included to assist the user in becoming familiar with the PICDEM 4 Demonstration RS-232 interface. Board and to demonstrate the unique features of the 2x16 liquid crystal display supported devices. For 129, designers receive a In-circuit debugger (ICD) connector for programming demonstration tool that offers multiple socket options via In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) for increased flexibility and immediate programming and technology or developing with the MPLAB ICD 2 debugging. Eight (8) LEDs, four (4) potentiometers, three (3) By connecting the PICDEM 4 Demonstration Board to an push buttons MPLABICD 2, a designer can develop, simulate, debug PCB footprints for an EEPROM,H-Bridge motor and download code to the microcontroller using driver and LIN transceiver Microchip s powerful graphical MPLAB Interactive Development Environment (IDE). MPLAB IDE is a Support for crystal, RC or canned oscillator modes. seamless, integrated software development environment Support for either 9-volt power adapter or battery, that includes a MPASM macro assembler, MPLAB SIM or hooks for a 5-volt, 100 mA regulated DC supply software simulator with symbolic debugger, color-coded Generous prototyping area and header for source editor,project manager with high-level language expansion. debugging and concurrent support for development tools, including low-cost in-circuit debuggers, full-featured real-time emulators and programmers. The consistent and easy-to-use graphic user interface of the MPLAB desktop allows for rapid switching between development, debugging and programming modes within a project. The MPLAB ICD 2 (DV164007) is available separately. Microchip s MPLAB IDE software can be downloaded free of charge from the Microchip web site.Package Contents: Host System Requirements: PICDEM 4 PCB PC Compatible system with an Intel Pentiumclass or higher processor, or equivalent Serial cable A minimum of 16 MB RAM Two PICmicro FLASH microcontroller samples A minimum of 40 MB available hard drive space CD-ROM containing sample programs, application notes and user s guide CD-ROM drive Available serial port Microsoft Windows98, Windows 2000 or Windows XP PICDEM 4 Product Offering Part Number Description Price Availability DM163014 Supported Devices: PIC12F629, PIC12F675, PIC16F630, PIC16F676, 129 May 2003 PIC16F684, PIC16F627A, PIC16F628A, PIC16F648A, PIC16F818, PIC16F819, PIC16F87, PIC16F88, PIC18F1220, PIC18F1320 Development Tools from Microchip MPLABIDE Integrated Development Environment (IDE) MPASM Assembler Universal PICmicro macro-assembler MPLINK Linker/MPLIB Librarian Linker/Librarian MPLAB C17 C compiler for PIC17CXXX MCUs MPLAB C18 C compiler for PIC18CXXX MCUs MPLAB SIM Simulator Software Simulator MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger MPLAB ICE 2000 Full-featured modular in-circuit emulator PICSTARTPlus Programmer Entry-level development kit with programmer PRO MATEII Device Programmer Full-featured, modular device programmer KEELOQEvaluation Kit Encoder/Decoder evaluator KEELOQ Transponder Evaluation Kit Transmitter/Transponder evaluator microID Developers Kit 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz RFID development tools MCP2510 CAN Developers Kit MCP2510 CAN evaluation/development tool Europe Americas Asia/Pacific Atlanta (770) 640-0034 Australia 61-2-9868-6733 Austria 43-7242-2244-399 Boston (978) 692-3848 China Beijing 86-10-85282100 Denmark 45-4420-9895 Chicago (630) 285-0071 China Chengdu 86-28-86766200 France 33-1-69-53-63-20 Dallas (972) 818-7423 China Fuzhou 86-591-7503506 Germany 49-89-627-144-0 Detroit (248) 538-2250 China Hong Kong SAR 852-2401-1200 Italy 39-0331-742611 Kokomo (765) 864-8360 China Qingdao 86-532-5027355 United Kingdom 44-118-921-5869 Los Angeles (949) 263-1888 China Shanghai 86-21-6275-5700 Phoenix (480) 792-7966 China Shenzhen 86-755-82901380 As of 3/25/03 San Jose (408) 436-7950 India 91-80-2290061 Toronto (905) 673-0699 Japan 81-45-471- 6166 Korea 82-2-554-7200 Singapore 65-6334-8870 Taiwan 886-2-2717-7175 Microchip Technology Inc. 2355 W.
