Microchip Technology DM164130-3 Information Guide

These full-speed USB demonstration and development 

boards feature the PIC18FXXJ50 8-bit MCUs. The boards 

can be operated either standalone or as a PIM plugged 

into the PICDEM™ PIC18 Explorer board (DM183032).

The PIC18F46J50 and PIC18F47J53 FS 

USB PIM demo boards are full speed 

USB demonstration and development 

boards featuring the PIC18F46J50 and 

PIC18F47J53 respectively.

The PIC18F87J50 FS USB PIM demo 

board is a full speed USB demonstration 

and development board featuring the 

PIC18F87J50. 

Combine the Explorer 16, low-cost modular development 

board with the USB PICtail™ Plus daughter board for easy 

USB development with 16- and 32-bit MCUs. Several 

different PIMs are available that allow development with a 

variety of MCU platforms.

Use this efficient, low-cost development 

board to evaluate the features and 

performance of Microchip’s 16-bit PIC24F 

and PIC24H MCU, dsPIC33 DSC and 

32-bit PIC32MX families. Interface with 

the MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger or MPLAB REAL ICE™ 

In-Circuit Emulator to speed evaluation and prototyping of 
application circuitry.

This module enables USB hardware connectivity 

when using an Explorer 16 and USB-capable 

PIM. Provides support for USB Device, Host and 

OTG development.

Various PIMs are available for use with the 

Explorer 16 development board. Individual 

PIMs feature different PIC24F, PIC24E 

and PIC32 microcontrollers and dsPIC33E 

digital signal controllers with USB modules.

The MCP2210 Evaluation Kit is a 

development and evaluation platform 

for the MCP2210 USB-to-SPI stand-

alone device.

Microchip’s support for USB applications includes MPLAB® 

tools for all USB PIC MCUs, peripheral applications for the 

8-bit PIC16F, PIC18F family, and device, embedded host 

and OTG applications for the 16-bit PIC24F, PIC24E and 

dsPIC33E and 32-bit PIC32 families. Designers can use 

Microchip’s free USB stacks—including class drivers, 16- 

and 32-bit file system drivers and SCSI interface drivers—

which are provided in source code form. More information 

is available at: 

www.microchip.com/usb.

Additional software support includes full C and RTOS 

development environments. Also available are: TCP/IP 

stacks, graphics libraries and ZigBee software stacks, 

which allow USB functionality to be combined with 

other capabilities to support a variety of designs. More

These development kits provide an easy, low cost way to 

evaluate the functionality of Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit 

USB microcontrollers. The all-inclusive kit contains the 

hardware, software and code examples necessary to take 

your next USB design from concept to prototype.

This kit features the PIC18F14K50 

and PIC18F13K50 20-pin USB 

MCUs.

 

Hardware, software and code 

examples are included, as well as 

self-directed course and lab materials.

This kit features a PIC18F46J50 MCU and 

includes on-board debugger/programming 

capability as well as USB communication, 

a capacitive touch pad, potentiometer, 

acceleration sensor, MicroSD™ memory 

card and an OLED display. The board can function as a USB 

mouse, joystick or mass storage device (thumb drive) all 

using the on-board capacitive touch sense pads.

This kit provides an inexpensive 

way to evaluate the 16 MIPs 

PIC24FJ256GB110 with USB-OTG. 

Application demonstrations include 

mTouch™ capacitive sensing, driving an 

OLED display and USB-OTG to store data to a thumb drive.

This kit provides the easiest and lowest cost 

method to experience the USB and CAN 

functionality of the PIC32 microcontrollers. 

Users can develop CAN applications using 

PIC32 expansion boards. The board contains 

everything need to develop USB embedded Host/Device/

OTG applications by combining this board with Microchip's 

free USB software.
