PICDEM 2 PLUS

The PICDEM 2 Plus board demonstrates the capabilities of Microchip’s 8-bit microcontrollers, specifically, 18-, 28- and 40-pin PIC16FXXX, PIC16F1XXX, and PIC18 devices.

It can be used as a standalone demonstration board with a programmed part. Alternatively, it can be used with an in-circuit emulator (for example, MPLAB® Real ICETM) or with an in-circuit programmer/debugger (such as MPLAB® ICD 3 or PICkitTM 3). Microchip offers a bundle of the PICDEM 2 PLUS and the MPLAB® ICD 3, called the MPLAB® ICD 3 Evaluation Kit (with PICDEM 2 Plus), product number DV164036. Sample programs are provided to demonstrate the unique features of the supported devices.

Newer version development tools are available now. Please consider Explorer 8 Development Board (DM160228) for new designs
