The DEVBOARD2 is a proto-typing board used to quickly and easily evaluate the 44 pins PLCC MICROCHIP CPUs such as the 16F877A or the 18F452.

It provides easy access to each pin on the CPU. In order to accommodate all of the microcontroller’s on-chip peripherals the board comes with switches and a very large, 414 plated-through hole, proto-typing area. So the user can decide which peripherals to be use.

• Header for ICD2© and for ICSP© (debugging/programming flash parts).
• Header RS232C ( Communication / Bootloader / debbug )
• Header for alphanumeric LCD screen ( LCD NOT INCLUDED )
• I2C© bus
• 414 plated-through holes proto-typing area.
• Regulated power +5V at 800mA
• RESET switch
• Selectable Oscillator : TTL OSCILLATOR, CERAMIC RESONATOR or INTERNAL PIC OSCILLATOR.

Supported devices include most of the Microchip 44 pins PLCC devices including the PIC16F871, PIC16F874, PIC16F877, PIC18F442, PIC18F452 and much more...

The DEVBOARD2 is provide with a PIF16F877A and 4MHz ceramic resonator.

The DEVBOARD2 is a high quality EPOXY prototype board, complete with a solder mask on both sides of the board, with a high-contrast silk-screen labeling component positions. Board size is a compact 120 x 60mm.

If you would like to make your own bootloader, Microchip has a some useful application notes to help you do this :

• AN732 is for the PIC16F87x parts.
• AN851 is for both the PIC16Fxxx and PIC18Fxxxx parts.
