INTRODUCTION
The Low Pin Count USB Development Kit provides an easy, low cost way to evaluate 
the functionality of Microchip’s PIC18F14K50 and PIC18F13K50 20-pin USB micro-
controllers. The all-inclusive kit contains the hardware, software, and code examples 
necessary to bring your next USB design from concept to first prototype. Created with 
the USB novice in mind, the kit includes “Getting Started with Microchip’s Low Pin 
Count USB Solutions”
, a self-directed course and lab material designed to ease the 
learning curve associated with adding USB connectivity to embedded systems.
