Microchip Technology Curiosity PIC24FJ256GA7 Development Board
Microchip PIC24FJ256GA7 Curiosity Development Board is a fully integrated 16-bit development platform designed for first-time users, makers, and those searching for a feature-rich rapid prototyping board. The Board includes an integrated programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware. The PIC24FJ256GA7 Board is an excellent starting point to explore the latest low-cost and eXtreme Low Power (XLP) 16-bit PIC24FJ256GA705 family of Microcontrollers. The PIC24FJ256GA705 microcontroller featuring up to 256KB of ECC flash and 16KB of RAM is ideally suited for low-power general-purpose applications. The layout and external connections of the board offer exceptional access to the Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) such as CLC, MCCP, and DMA. These CIPs enable the user to integrate various system functions onto a single MCU. This simplifies the design and keeps system power consumption and BOM cost low.
The PIC24FJ256GA7 Curiosity Development Board is crafted for Cloud-Based development. The Board offers seamless integration with the Microchip software toolchain, including the MPLAB Xpress Cloud-based IDE, XC16 compiler, and MPLAB Code Configurator for easy set-up and prototyping.
The Microchip PIC24FJ256GA7 Curiosity Development Board is IoT-ready out of the box. The board can enable applications with low power, low pin count, and small footprint requirements, as in IoT sensor nodes. The board offers several options for the user interface, including switches, RGB LEDs, User LEDs, and analog potentiometers. Wireless connectivity can be added using two mikroBUS™ interfaces and wireless connectivity click boards™.
