MICROCHIP Manuals

This document is a data sheet for the PIC16F917/916/914/913 series microcontrollers released by Microchip Technology Inc. in 2005. These microcontrollers are flash-based, 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers with LCD driver and nanoWatt technology. The document provides information regarding device applications and notes that updates may supersede this information. Microchip makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the information, including its condition, quality, performance, merchantability, or fitness for purpose. Microchip disclaims all liability arising from this information and its use.

The MPLAB PM3 Universal Device Programmer is easy to use and operates with a PC or as a stand-alone unit, and programs Microchip's entire line of PICmicro® devices as well as the latest dsPIC30F DSC devices. The MPLAB PM3 features a large and bright LCD unit (128x64 pixels) to display easy menus, programming statistics and status information. The MPLAB PM3 programmer has exceptional programming speed to allow high production throughput, especially important for large memory devices, and includes a Secure Digital/Multimedia Card slot for easy and secure data storage and transfer. The MPLAB PM3 programmer is designed with 40 programmable socket pins, allowing each socket module to be configured to support many different devices, requiring fewer socket modules to support the entire line of Microchip parts. The socket modules use multi-pin connectors for high reliability and quick interchange. An adapter allows current PROMATE®II socket modules to be used on the MPLAB PM3 programmer. When connected to a PC-host system either via a serial or USB port, the MPLAB PM3 programmer is seamlessly integrated with the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) providing an exceptionally user-friendly interface for the ultimate control during programming. The MPLAB IDE includes a full-featured macro assembler, powerful software simulator with symbolic debugger, color-coded programmer's editor, project manager, high-level language and macro support, and other features.

This data sheet details the features and characteristics of the PIC16C5X series, including 33 single-word instructions, single-cycle instructions, 200-nanosecond instruction cycle, 18 to 28 pins, 12 to 20 I/O ports, 384 to 2048 bytes of EPROM/ROM, and 25 to 73 bytes of RAM.

This data sheet introduces the core features, interrupt capability, hardware stack, timers, capture, compare, PWM module, etc. of PIC16C712 and PIC16C716 microcontrollers.

This document is an introduction to Microchip Technology's low power solutions demonstration board. The document contains information regarding device applications, which is provided for convenience and may be superseded by updates. Microchip disclaims all liability arising from this information and its use. The document also mentions some registered trademarks of Microchip.

The document is a user's guide for PICDEM.net™ 2 Internet/Ethernet Development Board, introducing the features and characteristics of the product, usage methods, etc.

The MCP1252/3 are inductorless, positive-regulated charge pump DC/DC converters. The devices generate a regulated fixed (3.3V or 5.0V) or adjustable output voltage. They are specifically designed for applications requiring low noise and high efficiency and are able to deliver up to 120 mA output current. The devices allow the input voltage to be lower or higher than the output voltage, by automatically switching between buck/boost operation. The MCP1252 has a switching frequency of 650 kHz, avoiding interference with sensitive IF bands. The MCP1253 has a switching frequency of 1 MHz and allows for higher conversion efficiency.

The document describes the features and characteristics of three products. The first product is the Explorer 16 Starter Kit, which is used for application development using the PIC24F, PIC24H, and dsPIC33F 16-bit families. The second product is the PICkit 2 Debug Express, which provides in-circuit programmer/debugger functions for selected PIC MCUs. The third product is the PICkit Serial Analyzer, which is a low-cost development kit for emulating and displaying data from serial systems.

Microchip's Enhanced FLASH Microcontroller devices have the capability of self-programming the program memory, providing the user with the ability to perform bootloading operations. This application note demonstrates a simple bootloader implementation for the PIC18F families of microcontrollers with a CAN module. It provides a low-level framework that can be used with higher-level network protocols to develop more complex and custom-tailored systems.

This document is the user guide for MCP2120/2150 developer board, introduces the features and characteristics of the development board, and how to use the development board

PICSTART® Plus is Microchip's low cost, development programmer. It connects via the serial RS 232 port to your PC and is interfaced using Microchips Integrated Development Environment software package called MPLAB® IDE which is included with the programmer for free. The programmer supports most of the DIP packaged microcontroller products available from Microchip. Included with the kit is the programmer, serial communication cable, power supply, User's Guide (in electronic format) and a copy of MPLAB IDE on CD. Also included is a free copy of the PICC Lite Compiler and a sample PIC16F84 microcontroller.
