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 PICkit 2 starter kit connects to any personal computer via full-speed USB 2.0, which allows firmware upgradeability, and requires no additional power supply for the programmer or target application board.
The PICkit 2 comes with a set of easy-to-understand tutorials that allow users to learn at their own pace.
In addition, the PICkit 2 can easily plug into development boards via in circuit serial programming (ICSP) technology.
The PICkit 2 microcontroller programmer (PG164120) is expected to be available in August for US $34.99, and comes with a USB cable.
The PICkit 2 starter kit (DV164120) is also planned for August for US $49.99, and includes the programmer, USB cable, CDs and an 8/14/20-pin evaluation board.
Initially, the programmer supports 33 different low-pin-count Flash PIC microcontrollers.
