dsPICDEM™ Starter Development Board
The low-cost dsPICDEM™ Starter Development Board
 
allows the user to easily validate a development tool 
setup using the dsPIC30F. It has a power supply 
regulator, crystal oscillator, MPLAB
®
 ICD header, serial 
port, LEDs, push buttons, potentiometer and a 
prototyping area. In addition, all pins on the dsPIC
®
 
DSC device are brought out to a terminal block for 
access.
Features
• 5V power supply split at the regulator to provide a 
separate, decoupled analog supply voltage, useful in 
designs taking advantage of the 12-bit A/D Converter.
• Analog peripherals including an MCP41010 digital 
potentiometer used as a DAC to generate signals, 
and a MCP6022 to provide output filtering for the 
DAC and an input filter for the 12-bit A/D.
 
The filter 
cutoff frequencies are set to 4 kHz to allow telephone 
quality signals.
The dsPICDEM Starter Development Board is 
delivered with a demo application that uses the digital 
potentiometer to generate audio tones. This output can 
be connected into the 12-bit ADC for measurement.
