Overview

The DM182028 is a compact evaluation platform for the PIC18F47K42 microcontroller, featuring an integrated programmer and debugger. It is designed as a small-form-factor board that can be used standalone or soldered onto a breadboard for rapid prototyping. The board includes a Virtual COM Port via USB for easy serial communication with a host PC.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a built-in debugger that requires no external hardware to program the target MCU. It supports a variable target voltage from 2.3V to 5.1V at up to 500mA, allowing for testing across various power rails. The nano-sized footprint and castellated holes make it ideal for both breadboarding and integration into larger systems.

Applications
