Evaluation Platform Microchip DM164130-1

Detailed Description

These architectural enhancements allow for more memory and faster computation than that of legacy PIC16 microcontrollers.

The PIC16F1 and PIC12F1 family of microcontrollers are a series of 8-bit microcontrollers derived from the popular PIC16 series of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. The F1 derivatives feature an enhanced CPU, support for extended amounts of memory, improved peripherals, and XLP low power. The F1 Evaluation Platform allows you to evaluate these features for your application in a simple, low-cost platform.

HARDWARE FEATURES
The F1 Evaluation Platform has the following hardware features:
PIC16LF1937

• The PIC16LF1937 is a 40-pin full-featured device, including:
• Enhanced PIC16 instruction set
• 8K Words of Flash memory
• 512 bytes of RAM
• 256 bytes of EEPROM
• 3 ECCPs, 2 CCPs
• MSSP (I2C, SPI)
• EUSART
• 8- and 16-bit timers
• 32 MHz internal oscillator
• Low-power 32 kHz crystal oscillator and
• LCD controller.

MCP9800 I2C Temperature Sensor
The MCP9800 is a low-power, selectable 8 to 12-bit I2C temperature sensor in a SOT23-5 package.

PICkit 3 Programming/debug Header
The PICkit 3 is a low-cost development tool that allows programming and debugging of the PIC16LF1937 MCU.

PICkit Serial Communications Header
The PICkit serial is a low-cost development tool that allows I2C, SPI and USART protocols to be monitored and debugged through a simple 6-pin connector.

1 Button, 1 Potentiometer, 4 LEDs
Simple applications need the basic user interface elements. The button, potentiometer and 1 LED are available for any application. The remaining 3 LEDs are shared with the 20-bit motor control connector.

One 3.5 Digit LCD
The 3.5-digit LCD glass supplied on this board is a typical meter-type display with icons for ohms, amps, etc. The PIC16LF1937 makes controlling this glass very simple.

20-pin Motor Control Expansion Connector
This connector allows the PIC16LF1937 to control an optional Sensorless BLCD add-on board (DM164130-2). The PIC16LF1937 has complete control of 3 phases so other 1, 2, or 3-phase motor topologies can also be controlled.

Current Monitoring Connector
To demonstrate the XLP features, a precision ammeter can be connected to the current monitoring connector. This allows your application to be easily optimized for the lowest possible current.

Generous Prototyping Area
Our circuits are not your circuits. A prototyping area has been provided to extend the functionality of this demo board to demonstrate the utility of the PIC16LF1937 in your application.
