PIC16F15276 Curiosity Nano Hardware User Guide

Preface

The PIC16F15276 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate microcontrollers in the
PIC16F152XX family. This board has the PIC16F15276 microcontroller (MCU) mounted.

Supported by MPLAB

X IDE, the board provides easy access to the features of the PIC16F15276 to explore how to

integrate the device into a custom design.

The Curiosity Nano series of evaluation boards include an on-board debugger. No external tools are necessary to
program and debug the PIC16F15276.
