GETTING STARTED
The SC70-6 and SOT-23-6/8 to DIP-8 Evaluation Board is a blank PCB that allows the 
user to configure the circuit to the exact requirements. The passive components use 
the surface-mount 805 package layout.
This evaluation board supports the following Microchip product device families:
• A/D Converters (ADCs)
• Battery Management
• CAN
• Comparators
• D/A Converters (DACs)
• DC-to-DC Converters
• Digital Potentiometers (Digi-Pots)
• EEPROM Serial Memory
• Fan Controllers
• IrDA
• LIN 
• Linear Regulators
• Operational Amplifiers (Op Amps)
• Piezoelectric Horn Driver
• Power MOSFET Drivers
• Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs)
• Selectable Gain Amplifiers
• Smoke Detection Front End
• Switching Regulators
• Temperature Sensors
• Voltage References
• Voltage Supervisors and Detectors
• PICmicro

Figure 2-1 shows the evaluation board circuit. The pins on the 8-pin SOT-23-8 and DIP 
devices are tied together (pin number to pin number). The pins of the6-pin SC70 and 
SOT-23 devices are tied as if the DIP was a 6-pin DIP. This circuit allows each pin to 
individually have any of the following: a pull-up resistor, a pull-down resistor (or a 
loading/filtering capacitor). Power supply filtering capacitors are connected between 
the VDD and VSS pads (C1 and C2).
The circuit has a 6-pin header that can be used for PICkit Serial communication as well 
as PIC ICSP. The signals of this header would need to be jumpered to the appropriate 
device signal.
