Devices Supported: TC132X, MCP330X, MCP320X, MCP492X, MCP3221, MCP3021, MCP1525, MCP1541

Summary Description:

The Mixed Signal PICtail™ Evaluation Board enables quick and accurate evaluation of the performance of several Microchip DACs, ADCs, LDOs, Vrefs and Operational Amplifiers. The board interfaces to the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit or can utilize the on-board PIC16F767 for “stand-alone” operation. The user can take advantage of the existing PIC® microcontroller library of software routines or develop their own routines. The PIC® microcontroller can select which DAC to configure, which ADC channel to read, and utilize a dual op-amp for various buffer implementations.
