The PIC16F13276 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit provides a compact, cost‑effective platform to build and test your next innovation. This evaluation kit integrates seamlessly with MPLAB® Tools for Visual Studio® Code (VS Code®) and MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which includes MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC), to offer fast access to the CLB and a broad range of Core-Independent Peripherals (CIPs).

The PIC16F13276 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit (Part No. EV18Z11A) provides full programming and debugging support to accelerate development and reduce time to market.

Integrated within MCC, the CLB Synthesizer tool features a user-friendly drag-and-drop graphical interface, built-in simulation, timing analysis and dedicated hardware debugging pins that allow you to verify logic functionality; monitor real-time operations and enable precise, deterministic performance. LUT mapping tools optimize routing and logic timing, so your custom logic runs fast and clean. Reduce debug time, avoid timing violations and accelerate development with reliable custom logic built directly into your MCU.

This is a flexible digital logic block for rapid customization of logic functions within embedded systems that reduces component count and time to market and supports automatic configuration loading at boot so that critical functions run independently of the CPU for improved reliability in safety-critical applications.

PIC16F132 MCUs feature a high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADCC) that automates signal analysis and data acquisition, simplifying real-time control and capacitive sensing designs by offloading threshold detection and averaging directly in hardware.

The PDID permanently locks a device against erasure or reprogramming via the serial programming and debugging interface, configuring it as either a One-Time-Programmable (OTP) device or updatable only through a bootloader. This protects intellectual property and prevents unauthorized readback or firmware modification in production and field-deployed devices. 

The Multi-Voltage IO (MVIO) feature enables seamless interfacing between devices that operate at different voltage levels, which simplifies system integration and design flexibility. This feature allows MCUs and peripherals to communicate reliably across multiple voltage domains without external level shifters to reduce component count and board complexity.
