Devices Supported: MCP6S22, MCP6S92

Summary Description:

Use the MCP6S22 PGA PICtail™ Demo Board to evaluate and demonstrate Microchip Technology’s MCP6S21/2/6/8 Programmable and MCP6S91/2/3 Gain Amplifier (PGA) families.

Interface this board with Microchip’s PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit to demonstrate firmware integration between the PIC MCU and PGA devices, while allowing you to modify and develop firmware for your specific requirements

The MCP6S22 PGA PICtail™ Demo Board can also be used in stand-alone mode, wherein the board uses a:

• USB interface to communicate directly to a Personal Computer (PC)
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) to display the PGA output voltage

Features:

• Demonstrates MCP6S22/92 PGA functionality
• Interfaces to the PICKit™ 1 Flash Starter kit
• Interfaces directly to a PC via the USB port for stand-alone mode of operation
• 13-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with SPI interface
• An optical sensor circuit connects to the PGA
• An adjustable voltage source connects to the PGA
• Four-layer PCB with separate ground and power supply planes provide noise immunity
• Four-layer PCB with separate ground and power supply planes provide noise immunity

Companion Tools:
