World's first serial EEPROM supporting ACR SIG
Microchip has announced the world's first serial EEPROM supporting the Advanced Communications Riser Special Interest Group (ACR SIG) specification.
The kit includes a 3 x 4.5in printed circuit board featuring a USB-powered programming tool that runs on a personal computer.
The board's evaluation area features eight LEDs, one potentiometer, one switch and a sample 8-pin PIC12F675 Flash device.
The development area features a snap-off prototype board that enables users to connect external circuitry to the microcontroller for quick setup of an application-specific prototype.
Programming the PICmicro Flash microcontroller is provided by the stand-alone graphical user interface.
The kit also includes a CD-ROM containing a user's guide with tutorials and example software code, the MPLAB integrated development environment with Hi-Tech PICC Lite C compiler, Microchip's "Software and hardware tips n' tricks for 8-pin microcontrollers" and a USB interface cable.
The MPLAB IDE is a seamless, integrated software development environment that includes a MPASM macro assembler, MPLAB SIM software simulator and symbolic debugger, source editor, and project manager.
