Processor Plug-In Modules are small circuit boards to be used with the various Microchip Development Boards to evaluate various MCU families. These plug into the main processor socket of the Development Boards so that different microcontrollers can be used for prototyping, demonstration or development quickly and easily.

This processor PIM includes a 44-pin PIC18LF45K22 MCU sample. The PIM plugs into PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032)

PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032) is for evaluation of our PIC18 MCU families. The PIC18 is our highest performance 8-bit architecture and has three different families: standard PIC18, PIC18 J-series and PIC18 K-series. This single development board supports dozens of the general purpose PIC18 families using various processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs). PICtail daughter boards enable many different accessory boards to connect to the PIC18 Explorer board for a flexible and complete development environment.

The nanoWatt XLP PIC18F “K22” Flash Family of microcontrollers offer all of the advantages of the well recognized PIC18F High Performance MCUs; C compiler optimized architecture and an industry leading peripheral set.

The PIC18F “K22” MCUs provide features such as operation from 1.8 to 5.5V, numerous communication channels, 8 to 128 KB Flash memory, and peripherals to support mTouch capacitive touch-sensing applications. Other features include a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), multiple PWMs, multiple communication channels and additional timers.
