REDE & Microchip PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board

Win a Microchip PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board (DM320101) from REDE and if you don’t win, receive a 15% off coupon for this board, plus free shipping.

The PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board features the new eXtreme Low Power (XLP), PIC32MM “GPL” family (PIC32MM0064GPL036) of low cost microcontrollers. This board is a simple and easy to use platform that facilitates quick PIC32MM evaluation, experimentation and application prototyping. The board also includes an integrated programmer/debugger and offers seamless integration with Microchip’s MPLAB® X IDE and MPLAB Code Configurator for easy set-up and development.

This PIC32MM family features core independent peripherals, designed to offload the CPU, such as Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) and Multiple-output Capture Compare PWMs (MCCPs) which help enable sensorless BLDC motor control applications. The devices achieve a 79 CoreMark™ score at 25 MHz operation, featuring the compact microMIPS™ instructions, microAptiv™ UC core and a shadow register set for fast interrupt context switching. The microMIPS ISA combines 16-bit and 32-bit instructions for compact code size.

Owing to its low power, low cost and expansion capabilities, the PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board is ideal for developing battery operated applications, portable medical monitoring devices and IoT sensor nodes.

The board also offers various user interfaces like switches, LEDs, potentiometer and supports a MikroElektronika mikroBUS™ interface that lets you tap into an ecosystem of over 300+ add-on click boards™ enabling customers to accelerate application prototype development. Additionally, Bluetooth® Low Energy communication can easily be added using Microchip’s BM71 module footprint.

Highlights

  • Using high-precision architectures enables superior DC performance, regardless of operating conditions
  • Low noise and additional EMI filtering on the inputs provide additional protection in electrically noisy environments
  • Small packages, such as leadless DFNs, are ideal for space-constrained designs
  • A wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C provides a robust solution even at extreme temperatures

Microchip Instrumentation Amplifier with mCAL Technology

The MCP6N11 and MCP6V2x Wheatstone Bridge Reference Design demonstrates the performance of Microchip's MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier (INA) and a traditional three op amp INA using Microchip's MCP6V26 and MCP6V27 auto-zeroed op amps. The input signal comes from an RTD temperature sensor in a Wheatstone bridge. Real world interference is added to the bridge's output, to provide realistic performance comparisons. Data is gathered and displayed on a PC, for ease of use. The USB PIC® microcontroller and included Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the means to configure the board and collect sample data.
