The Low-Power 
Solutions 
Demonstration 
Board provides 
designers a 
convenient and fun 
way to explore 
PICmicro

 MCU 

nanoWatt features 

within a functional ultrasonic range finder application. It 
features the PIC18F4620, Microchip Technology’s latest 
power-managed device.

The development tool is ideal for learning nanoWatt 
features and implementing system power reduction 
techniques. The Low-Power Solutions Demonstration 
Board is part of the Workshop-in-a-Box 2, a complete 
nanoWatt training kit designed for self-paced and 
instructor led training.

The Low-Power Solutions Demonstration Board CD 
includes three self-paced, step-by-step lab exercises, 
using the PIC18F4620, which illustrate the following 
concepts: nanoWatt features to reduce power 
consumption, improving system power consumption 
and improving board performance.

• Fully functional ultrasonic range finder with LCD 

display (PCB also supports four 7-segment LEDs)

• DC boost circuit

• USART

• Connector for MPLAB

 ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger

• Two power supply options: 9V power supply or 

9V battery

• Test points to measure system and PICmicro device 

power consumption via current meter

• Three switches for input and a Reset switch and 

2 LEDs

• Microchip TC1047A Temperature Sensor

• In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) connector for programming 

via In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) 
technology or developing with the MPLAB
