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.
