Microchip has announced two new entry-level development tools. The Signal Analysis PICtail Daughter Board, and the Baseline Flash Microcontroller Programmer (BFMP).
The Signal Analysis PICtail Daughter Board is an add-on board to the popular, low-cost PICkit1 Flash development tool starter kit. The board contains a 14-pin PIC16F684 8-bit Flash microcontroller and 16 KB of serial EEPROM memory. When the board is plugged into the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit and used with the accompanying PC software, the designer can perform realtime measurements of analog signals being processed by the PIC microcontroller, and display them on a strip chart. Engineers can also acquire data, which can then be processed and displayed as an oscilloscope plot, FFT or histogram. The board therefore allows designers to evaluate the capabilities of low pin-count PIC microcontrollers without the need for expensive test equipment or tools.
The BFMP is a simple in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) programmer for use with any of Microchip's new baseline family of Flash PIC 8-bit microcontrollers. It provides the least expensive programming method for these microcontrollers, says Microchip, offering a 6-pin linear ICSP header for standard ICSP support. The BFMP utilises a powered USB connection, to eliminate the need for an external power supply, and includes its own graphical user interface. It allows users to read, write and verify Microchip's baseline family of Flash-based PIC microcontrollers, including the PIC10F200/2/4/6, PIC12F508/9, PIC16F505 and PIC16F54/7/9. In addition, when paired with the PIC10F2XX Programmer Adapter it provides standalone programming for the PIC10F 6-pin family.
