The PICDEM 4 Demonstration Board can be used to
evaluate and demonstrate the capabilities of
Microchip’s 8, 14 and 18-pin PIC12F, PIC16F and
PIC18F microcontrollers. The demonstration board
showcases many features of low pin count parts,
including Local Interconnect Network (LIN) and motor
control features using the Enhanced Capture/
Compare/PWM module (ECCP). Low-power operation
is achieved with a super capacitor circuit and jumpers
allowing the on-board hardware to be disabled to
eliminate current draw in this mode.
