connecting it to the microcontroller socket(s). Some
of the features include an RS-232 interface,
push-button switches, a potentiometer for simulated
analog input, a thermistor and separate headers for
connection to an external LCD module and a keypad.
Also provided on the PICDEM-3 board is an LCD
panel, with 4 commons and 12 segments, that is
capable of displaying time, temperature and day of the
week. The PICDEM-3 provides an additional RS-232
interface and Windows 3.1 software for showing the
demultiplexed LCD signals on a PC. A simple serial
interface allows the user to construct a hardware
demultiplexer for the LCD signals.

PICDEM-1 Low-Cost PICmicro
Demonstration Board
The PICDEM-1 is a simple board which demonstrates
the capabilities of several of Microchip’s
microcontrollers. The microcontrollers supported are:
PIC16C5X (PIC16C54 to PIC16C58A), PIC16C61,
PIC16C62X, PIC16C71, PIC16C8X, PIC17C42,
PIC17C43 and PIC17C44. All necessary hardware
and software is included to run basic demo programs.
The users can program the sample microcontrollers
provided with the PICDEM-1 board, on
a
PRO MATE II or PICSTART-Plus programmer, and
easily test firmware. The user can also connect the
PICDEM-1 board to the PICMASTER emulator and
download the firmware to the emulator for testing.
Additional prototype area is available for the user to
build some additional hardware and connect it to the
microcontroller socket(s). Some of the features include
an RS-232 interface, a potentiometer for simulated
analog input, push-button switches and eight LEDs
connected to PORTB.

firmware. The PICMASTER emulator may also be
used with the PICDEM-2 board to test firmware.
Additional prototype area has been provided to the
user for adding additional hardware and connecting it
to the microcontroller socket(s). Some of the features
include a RS-232 interface, push-button switches, a
potentiometer for simulated analog input, a Serial
• A project manager
• Customizable tool bar and key mapping
• A status bar with project information
• Extensive on-line help
MPLAB allows you to:
• Edit your source files (either assembly or ‘C’)
• One touch assemble (or compile) and download
to PICmicro tools (automatically updates all
project information)
• Debug using:
- source files
- absolute listing file
• Transfer data dynamically via DDE (soon to be
replaced by OLE)

EEPROM to demonstrate usage of the I C bus and
• Run up to four emulators on the same PC
separate headers for connection to an LCD module
and a keypad.
The ability to use MPLAB with Microchip’s simulator
allows a consistent platform and the ability to easily
switch from the low cost simulator to the full featured
emulator with minimal retraining due to development
tools.
