INTRODUCTION:

With this board you can develop and prototype with any of Microchip's 40 pin PIC microcontrollers. The RS232 driver on board allows easy connection with a PC or other embedded hardware. The board has a user button and status LED. A bridge rectifier allows this board to be powered by both AC and DC power supply adapters. PIC-P40 supports both 3V low power and normal 5V operation.

FEATURES:

• ICSP/ICD connector for programming with PIC-MCP-USB, PIC-MCP or PIC-PG1, PIC-PG2, PIC-PG3, PIC-PG4 and debugging with PIC-ICD2, PIC-ICD2-POCKET, PIC-ICD2-TINY(*for the PICs with ICD support) for PIC16F87X is possible to debug with the low cost PIC-ICD1
• RS232 Tx, Rx interface with MAX232 IC on socket
• DIL40 microcontroller socket
