PIC Development & Training System

Key Features
• Programmable Interface Controllers (PICs) area family of low cost Reduction Instruction Set Computer (RISC) microcontrollers those are powerful and easy to use.
• The PIC Development & Training System is based on the versatile microchip PIC16F877 CMOS FLASH device in a 44-pin PLC and has in-circuit bugging. It can be used for various applications as a target board for educational purposes.
• It can also be used as a stand-alone via a serial port to a PC, allowing easy downloads of control code, developed using Microchips MPLAB software or high level language development software. The system is capable of running at clock speeds of 20MHz or above.
• These devices are based on the Harvard architecture of separate program and data storage areas and are self contained systems providing on-chip RAM or FLASH RAM (program area) and I/O.
• The PIC Development & Training System comprises the board with a suitable power supply and connection cables, software on CD and experimental manual. The Microprocessor Applications Board (supplied separately) is required to provide the full range of experiments in the manual.
