Microchip demo kit and debugger to be won
19 November 2014
News
Dataweek is offering its readers the chance to win a PICDEM FS-USB Demo Kit and MPLAB ICD3 In Circuit Debugger from Microchip Technology.
The PICDEM FS-USB (DM163025-1) is a demonstration board for the PIC18F2x/4xK50 family of USB microcontrollers (MCU). These devices support full-speed USB communication without the need for an external crystal, which allows significant cost savings and reduced design effort. The demo kit provides all of the hardware needed to demonstrate and develop a complete USB communication solution.
The microcontroller on the board is the PIC18F45K50, the superset (largest memory and pin count) device of the PIC18(L)F2X/45K50 family. These devices implement power-saving nanoWatt technology, enhanced Flash program memory, and boast full-featured USB 2.0 modules.
Also up for grabs is an MPLAB ICD3 In Circuit Debugger to use with the PICDEM FS-USB Demo Board. To be in the running to win, visit www.microchip-comps.com/dataweek-fsusb
