INTRODUCTION
The dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board is a development and evaluation tool that
helps you create embedded applications using dsPIC30F Digital Signal Controllers
(DSC) in 18-pin PDIP, 28-pin SPDIP and 40-pin PDIP packages. The dsPICDEM™ 2
Development Board provides both a hardware and software baseline capability to help
jump start your application.

Sockets are provided for 28 and 40-pin devices in the dsPIC30F Motor Control family
and 18, 28 and 40-pin devices in the dsPIC30F General Purpose and Sensor family.
For each device supported by the board, the product CD includes a sample application
program designed specifically for that device. Thus, regardless of the dsPIC30F device
you choose for your application, you also have sample code appropriate to that device.

dsPICDEM™ 2 DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board (Figure 1-1) includes a dsPIC30F4011 Digital
Signal Processor in the 40-pin motor control socket, a power supply regulator, crystal
oscillators for each set of sockets, an ICD header for the MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit
Debugger and both UART and CAN ports for external communication. In addition, the
board is populated with prototyping hardware, including LED indicators, push-button
switches, a potentiometer, a temperature sensor and an LCD screen. All pins on all the
device sockets are accessible on prototyping areas. Also included is the dsPICDEM™
2 Development Kit CD, which contains software and this User’s Guide.
