Microchip PICkit Serial I2C Demo Kit

The Microchip PICkit Serial I2C Demo Kit provides a practical platform for engineers and developers to explore and demonstrate I2C serial communications. This comprehensive kit showcases the operation of five distinct peripheral devices, all connected via a common I2C bus. It is an invaluable educational and prototyping tool for anyone working with Microchip's PIC microcontrollers or embedded systems requiring I2C interfacing.

The demo board features a 2 Kbit Serial EEPROM (24LC02B), a high-accuracy temperature sensor (MCP9801), a low-power 12-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter, a 10-bit Digital-to-Analogue Converter, and an 8-bit I/O Expander. This selection covers a wide range of common embedded functions, from data storage and environmental sensing to signal conversion and GPIO expansion.

For easy monitoring and debugging, the board includes test points on the I2C bus and most of the individual devices. A dedicated connector allows for direct connection to an external I2C bus or to a PICkit Serial Analyser (DV164122), enabling detailed signal analysis and system integration. The kit contents include the PICkit Serial I2C demo board itself, a CD-ROM with demonstration software and resources, and a comprehensive user guide to help you get started quickly.
