16-bit Embedded Control Solutions
Development Boards
A variety of hardware development boards are available
for the PIC24 MCU and dsPIC DSC, enabling designers
to shorten their design cycle. These boards are designed
to allow easy connection to an MPLABICD 3 In-Circuit
Debugger, MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator or MPLAB
PM3 device programmer. All development boards include
documentation and example source code to accelerate your
design.
16-bit 28-pin Starter Development Board
(DM300027)
This low cost development board provides
an easy way to get started with any of
Microchip’s 28-pin 16-bit MCU or DSC
devices.
nanoWatt XLP 16-bit Development Board
(DM240311)
The XLP 16-bit Development Board is designed
with eXtreme Low Power in mind. Designed as
a true platform for low power development, it
enables designs with sleep currents as low as
10 nA. The board is suitable for prototyping
many low power applications including RF
sensors, data loggers, temperature sensors, electronic door
locks, metering sensors, remote controls, security sensors,
smart cards and energy harvesting. The PICtail interface
supports Microchip’s extensive line of daughter cards for
easy evaluation of your next low power application.

(DM330016)
The audio development board features
a 70 MIPS dsPIC33E MCU, a 24-bit
Wolfson audio codec, a two-inch color
LCD display, a USB interface and an
onboard microphone. Supported by
Microchip’s free software libraries, the kit provides an ideal
solution for the development of iPod music playback, speech
and audio recording and playback, as well as MP3 decoding
applications.
LCD Explorer Development Board (DM240314)
This development board supports
Microchip’s 100-pin microcontrollers with
x8 common segment LCD drivers. The
LCD Explorer provides an ideal platform
for a customer to evaluate a MCU with
a x8 Common LCD Driver on a 38 segment x 8 common
LCD display. PICtail Plus connections allow customers to
evaluate the selected MCU in a complex system by adding
Microchip’s PICtail Plus daughter boards.
PIC24H mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Board
(AC243026)
This evaluation board is designed to
facilitate the development of capacitive
touch-based applications using
PIC24H-series microcontrollers. This board
is intended to supplement the motherboard
portfolio already included in the mTouch
Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit (DM183026-2).
