MCHPPIC16F18446 Curiosity Nano
Overview
The DM164144 is a compact hardware platform featuring the PIC16F18446 microcontroller, designed for rapid prototyping and evaluation of 8-bit PIC applications. It includes an integrated on-board debugger and programmer, eliminating the need for external hardware to program the target MCU. The board's small form factor and castellated headers make it suitable for both breadboard use and direct soldering into larger prototype systems.
Why Choose This Part
This board simplifies the development workflow with a built-in Virtual COM port and a logic analyzer channel via the Data Gateway Interface (DGI) GPIO. It provides full access to the target MCU's I/O and features an adjustable target voltage to match specific application requirements, all while being powered directly over USB.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin development, connect the board to a PC via Micro-USB and use the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or the MPLAB Xpress cloud-based IDE. The board is automatically recognized by the IDE, and you can use the MCC (MPLAB Code Configurator) plugin to graphically configure the PIC16F18446 peripherals and generate initialization code.
