Explorer 16 Development Board
(DM240001/DM240002)
This development board offers an
economical way to evaluate Microchip’s
16-bit MCUs and dsPIC DSC families.
The combination of versatility and
expandability and the supporting PICtail
Plus daughter cards allow designers to evaluate complex
software libraries and hardware with minimal time and
effort. Features include:
■ Processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs)
• DM240001: two interchangeable 100-pin PIMs,
one each for the PIC24FJ128GA010 and the
dsPIC33FJ256GP710 DSC
Plus daughter cards allow designers to evaluate complex
• DM240002: features a PIM for the 44-pin
PIC24FJ64GA004 and dsPIC33FJ32GP204 MCUs
• Many other processor PIMs available for easy
device swapping
■ Alpha-numeric 16 × 2 LCD display
■ Interfaces to MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB
REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator and RS-232
■ Includes Microchip’s TC1047A high-accuracy analog
output temperature sensor
■ Expansion connector to fully access device’s pin-out
and breadboard prototyping area
■ PICtail Plus connector for expansion boards
■ Full documentation includes user’s guide, schematics
and PCB layout at www.microchip.com/explorer16.
PICtail Plus Daughter Boards
■ Allow for the easy addition of complex hardware
■ Allow for the easy evaluation of software libraries
■ Provide expansion for application-specifi c hardware
