Microchip

This is a Microchip  brochure that shows the many tools involved in developing microcontroller designs.

 Chipc and tools: PIC16F/PIC18F and AVR ATmega architectures, the integrated development environment (IDE), C language compiler XC8, microcontroller simulation (Proteus - VSM), and training and prototyping boards (PICDEM2 plus, AVR mega 16/32 starter development board, Arduino, etc.).

Atmel AVRPIC's

Fig 3. Families of Microchip microcontrollers. Atmel has become a Microchip division with all its microcontroller portfolio embedded in the Microchip web.

- Preferred devices (depending on the semester) and IDE tools to be installe in your portable computer:

  • Atmel Studio. Recommended the v.6.2 SP2 already available in our labs. Nowadays, MPLAB X v.5.0 also supports AVR μC.

  • MPLAB X  - XC8

Prototyping boards, simulators, programmers and in-circuit debuggers:

Explorer 8
