CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT DEVELOPMENT
BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Introduction to Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC)
The Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC) Development Board supports Microchip’s 8-, 14-
and 20-pin 8-bit PIC
®
MCUs. Dual-row expansion headers on either side of the socket
offer flexibility of connectivity to all pins on the PIC MCUs. Programming/debugging is
accomplished through the PICkit™ On-Board (PKOB), eliminating the need for an
external programming/debugging tool. This board provides flexibility for
experimentation through an application header with a ground (GND) and supply
voltage (V
SS
) connections. It is also a set of indication LEDs, mTouch
®
button and push
button switches, and a variable potentiometer. Additionally, the Curiosity LPC Board
integrates a MikroElektronika mikroBUS™ socket, which can accommodate a variety
of plug-in Click™ Board modules that can be used for application development.
