Microchip's rfPIC Development Kit 1 provides an easy way to evaluate low-power RF communication links for embedded control applications. Designed to work in tandem with the company's popular PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit, the rfPIC Development Kit 1 includes transmitter and receiver modules supporting frequencies of 315 and 433 MHz.
The receiver modules feature an rfRXD0420 device that plugs directly into the PICkit 1 development board. The modules are available separately so designers can create several prototypes based on the same module without having to develop an actual RF design. All the design files are available, offering users the ability to migrate their module design into the application for lower cost volume production. Target applications for the rfPIC family include remote control, wireless sensors, automotive and home security.
The self-contained rfPIC12F675 transmitter modules are based on a PICmicro 20-pin Flash microcontroller that features an integrated UHF RF transmitter. The transmitter modules feature button inputs for remote control functions and analogue input that can be used for the evaluation of the microcontroller A/D converter peripherals. Code can be developed using Microchip's MPLAB integrated development environment, and programming the microcontroller is easily accomplished by plugging the modules into the PICkit 1 Flash starter kit.
