Overview
The PIC24F LCD Curiosity Development Board is a cost-effective, fully integrated development platform that facilitates you to explore segmented LCD interfacing and various features of the low power PIC24F MCUs with an integrated LCD controller. Designed from the ground-up to take full advantage of Microchip’s MPLAB® X IDE and MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), the board includes an integrated programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware, simplifying your prototyping.
The PIC24F LCD Curiosity Board is the perfect platform to harness the power of PIC24FJ128GL306 low power microcontroller with an LCD controller. Its layout and external connections offer unparalleled access to the Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs). The on-chip CIPs enable you to integrate various system functions onto a single MCU, simplifying the design and keeping system power consumption and BOM cost low.
Designed to Explore Power Saving Modes
The PIC24F LCD Curiosity Development Board allows you to explore the power saving modes and measure the device current. You can seamlessly drive the segmented LCD glass in power saving modes, enabling you to reduce power consumption. With the new LCD core independent animation feature, you can visualize display animations come to life while the MCU is in a power saving mode. The board also facilitates you to explore the VBAT function with a secondary coin cell battery.
Secure Your Internet of Things (IoT)
Easily add security into your IoT designs using the on-chip complementary secure protection features like Flash OTP by ICSP™ Write Inhibit and CodeGuard™ flash protection scheme, and Secure 4 Click board™ featuring the CryptoAuthentication™ chip – ATECC608.
Simplify Your Designs and Reduce Development Time
Take full advantage of the integration of MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) – a graphical configuration tool supporting PIC24F MCUs, MPLAB tool suite and the PIC24F LCD Curiosity development board to go from design concept to prototype in a very short time. Without having to read the device datasheet, get the PIC24FJ128GL306 up and running in no time and visualize it in action displaying your data on the LCD glass supported on the board. The comprehensive development ecosystem significantly reduces your development time.
