2.3 BOARD WITH PIM ATTACHED DEVICES
The PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Demonstration Board also can be used to demonstrate
other PIC18 devices – having them replace the PIC18F8722 mounted on the board as
the board’s main microcontroller. This is done by attaching a Plug-In Module (PIM) that
has the other microcontroller mounted to it.
The PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Demonstration Board comes with the PIC18F87J11 PIM
representing the super set device for the PIC18 J-series of products.

The PIM enables the attachment of 80, 64, 44 or 28-pin devices. Some PIMs also
enable the board’s 5V output to be automatically reset to 3.3V.
For a list of microcontroller-compatible PIMs, see the “Microchip Development Systems
Ordering Guide” (DS30177) or go to http://microchip.com
