SC70-6 AND SOT-23-6/8 TO DIP-8

EVALUATION BOARD USER’S GUIDE

Chapter 2. Installation and Operation

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The SC70-6 and SOT-23-6/8 to DIP-8 Evaluation Board allows the system designer to

quickly evaluate the operation of devices. This board is generic so that any device, of

the appropriate footprint, may be installed. Refer to the device data sheet, however, for

suitability of device evaluation (noise, lead length, signal integrity, etc).

As well as the device, other desired passive components (resistors and capacitors) and

connection posts may be installed. This allows the board to evaluate a minimum

configuration for the device. Also, this allows the device to be easily jumpered into an

existing system.

The board also has a 6-pin interface (PICkit Serial, ICSP, BFMP, etc.) whose signals

can easily be jumpered to any of the device’s pins.

2.2 FEATURES

The SC70-6 and SOT-23-6/8 to DIP-8 Evaluation Board has the following features:

• Connection terminals may be either through-hole or surface-mount

• Three package type footprints supported:

-SC70-6

-SC70-5

-SC70-3

-SOT-23-8

-SOT-23-6

-SOT-23-5

-SOT-23-3

- DIP-8 (300 millimeter spacing)

• Footprints for optional passive components (SMT 805 footprint) for:

- Power supply filtering (C

and C

footprints)

- Device bypass capacitor (RxD footprint for device pin connected to V

)

- Output filtering (RxD footprint)

- Output pull-up resistor (RxU footprint)

- Output pull-down resistor (RxD footprint)

- Output loading resistor (RxD footprint)

• Silk-screen area to write specifics of implemented circuit (on back of PCB), such

as MCP4018 10 kΩ

• Can be used for SC70 or SOT-23 to DIP-8 converter

• PICkit Serial Analyzer / PICkit 2 Programming (ICSP) Header
