MA330016 (MICROCHIP)

The MA330016 is a dsPIC33FJ32GP204 plug-in module designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the dsPIC33FJ32GP204 family of general purpose devices using the explorer 16 development board and the PICtail? Plus daughter boards. The dsPIC33FJ32GP204 is a high performance 16bit digital signal controller within a small 44 pin QFN package. The dsPIC33FJ32GP204 is equipped with Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), which allows many of the digital peripherals to be remapped to use any number of pins on the device. The PIM takes advantage of PPS by using zero ohm resistors to connect the I/O to the 100 pin explorer 16 development board. Simply removing the zero ohm resistors and using the test points associated with each I/O pin (i.e. Pin1, Pin2, etc.), allows the designer to reroute the pin to any of the available pins on the explorer 16 development board. This capability enables easier and faster design times.
