XLP 16-bit Development Board Microchip (DM240311)
The XLP 16-bit Development Board is designed with eXtreme Low Power in mind.
Detailed Description
Designed as a true platform for low power development, it enables designs with sleep currents as low as 20nA.
The board is suitable for prototyping many low power applications including RF sensors, data loggers, temperature sensors, electronic door locks, metering sensors, remote controls, security sensors, smart cards, and energy harvesting. The PICtail™ interface supports Microchip’s extensive line of daughter cards for easy evaluation of your next low power application.
This low cost board is the ideal complement to the MPLAB PICkit 3 or ICD 3 debugger and programmer realizing a fully-featured, economical, PIC24 development environment.
