Microchip Launches Rapid Prototyping Board for Low-Cost 32-Bit Applications
Published2016.11.08 16:42Built-in peripherals, a simple interface, and expansion options
Microchip Technology (North Asia General Manager and Korea Representative: Byung-Don Han) has launched two new low-cost rapid prototyping boards for 32-bit applications. The PIC32MX and PIC32MZ Curiosity boards include a programmer debugger and are fully integrated into Microchip's MPLAB X integrated development environment (IDE).
These boards are designed for 32-bit application development and can support over 180 types of MikroElectronika Click Boards™ by providing various peripherals as well as expansion options including a user interface and two mikroBUS™ Click interface headers. Both boards offer a rich feature set at an affordable price and are designed for immediate use via connectivity. Customers can run example projects without having to write code.
The PIC32MZ EF development board includes a 200MHz PIC32 microcontroller (MCU) and a Wi-Fi® module, making it ideal for designing Internet of Things (IoT) and connectivity applications. The PIC32MX470 development board includes a 120MHz MCU and is designed for audio, Bluetooth®, and other related general-purpose applications. In addition, both boards have built-in USB connectors that can be used to develop USB host or device applications.
These boards are fully integrated with Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE as well as the industry-award-winning software development framework MPLAB® Harmony. MPLAB Harmony is a firmware development platform for PIC32 MCUs that fully integrates flexibility, modularity, and abstracted functions. It enables users to utilize various peripheral libraries, RTOS functions, middleware, drivers, and system services. It also provides over 200 pre-tested application project codes to help users start application development immediately.
Rich Hoefle, Marketing Director of Microchip’s MCU32 Business Unit, stated, “The PIC32 Curiosity boards are carefully designed to balance ease of use and rapid application development through a rich feature set, affordable price, and expansion options. Customers can download and run example projects within minutes without having to download MPLAB Harmony separately or write a single line of code. Then, by utilizing MPLAB Harmony and expansion options, they can prototype applications for market launch using the same boards and ecosystem. Based on these options, these boards deliver very powerful performance.”
