PIC16CR54C
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.

PICDEM-2 Low-Cost PIC16CXX
Demonstration Board
• A full featured editor
• Three operating modes
- editor
The PICDEM-2 is a simple demonstration board that
supports the PIC16C62, PIC16C64, PIC16C65,
PIC16C73 and PIC16C74 microcontrollers. All the
necessary hardware and software is included to
run the basic demonstration programs. The user
can program the sample microcontrollers provided
with the PICDEM-2 board, on a PRO MATE II
programmer or PICSTART-Plus, and easily test
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
- emulator
- simulator
• 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
separate headers for connection to an LCD module
and a keypad.
• Run up to four emulators on the same PC
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.

PICDEM-3 Low-Cost PIC16CXXX
Demonstration Board
The PICDEM-3 is a simple demonstration board that
supports the PIC16C923 and PIC16C924 in the PLCC
package. It will also support future 44-pin PLCC
9.10
Assembler (MPASM)
microcontrollers with
a LCD Module. All the
necessary hardware and software is included to
run the basic demonstration programs. The user
can program the sample microcontrollers provided
with the PICDEM-3 board, on a PRO MATE II
programmer or PICSTART Plus with an adapter
socket, and easily test firmware. The PICMASTER
emulator may also be used with the PICDEM-3 board
to test firmware. Additional prototype area has been
provided to the user for adding hardware and
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.
The MPASM Universal Macro Assembler is
a
PC-hosted symbolic assembler. It supports all
microcontroller series including the PIC12C5XX,
PIC14000, PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX, and PIC17CXX
families.
MPASM offers full featured Macro capabilities,
conditional assembly, and several source and listing
formats. It generates various object code formats to
support Microchip's development tools as well as third
party programmers.
MPASM allows full symbolic debugging from
PICMASTER, Microchip’s Universal Emulator System.
MPASM has the following features to assist in
developing software for specific use applications.
• Provides translation of Assembler source code to
object code for all Microchip microcontrollers.
• Macro assembly capability.
• Produces all the files (Object, Listing, Symbol,
and special) required for symbolic debug with
Microchip’s emulator systems.
• Supports Hex (default), Decimal and Octal source
and listing formats.
