18 April 2012
News
Dataweek is giving readers the chance to win a Microchip XLP 8-Bit Development Board (DM240313). The board provides a low-cost, highly configurable development system for Microchip’s new line of extreme-low-power (XLP) 8-bit PIC18F or PIC16F Enhanced core microcontrollers that allow for sleep currents down to 20 nA.
The board supports development for the PIC18F87K22 or PIC16LF1947 MCUs, which highlight the capabilities of each product family. It can be powered by five different power sources including batteries or energy harvesting modules (sold separately), and it supports a variety of common components that can be selectively enabled.
The system is expandable through the onboard PICtail connector that permits the addition of capabilities such as RF connectivity. The kit includes a USB cable, power measurement cable, a PIC16LF1947 PIM and is supplied with a PICkit 3 Starter Kit.
The development board is suitable for prototyping many low-power applications including RF, temperature sensors, electronic door locks, LCD, remote controls, security sensors, smartcards and energy harvesting. The PICtail interface supports Microchip’s extensive line of daughter cards for easy evaluation of low-power application.
