F1 PSMC 28-PIN EVALUATION PLATFORM

User Guide: Download User Guides

Overview

The F1 PSMC 28-pin Evaluation Platform is an easy-to-use development tool for the PIC16F178x Intelligent Analog family of microcontrollers and demonstrates the capabilities & intelligent analog feature enhancements of these new PIC microcontrollers. This provides a platform for general purpose development and gives you the ability to develop code for any of the 28-pin PIC16(LF)F178x products (16(LF)F1782, 3, 6, 8). Quick & easy development is ensured with the integrated functionality of the PIC16(LF)F178x product family.


WHAT IS THE PSMC?
The Programmable Switch Mode Controller (PSMC) is a high-performance 16-bit pulse-width modulator (PWM) that can be configured to operate in one of many modes to support single or multiple phase applications. It was designed to meet a need to intelligently and efficiently drive the MOSFET switching of various Switch Mode Power Supplies, Lighting, and Motor Drive applications.

Basically, it is a PWM Swiss army knife that gives you 12 different modes of PWM generation, and the flexibility to be used with other on-board peripherals to solve or update real world applications. The PIC16(LF)F178x family of devices are the first PIC microcontrollers introduced with the PSMC module.
