Explorer 16/32 Development Board User's Guide - Developer Help
1. 100-pin Plug-In Module (PIM) socket (U1A), supporting a wide variety of 16-bit
and 32-bit microcontroller families (see PIMs list (http://www.microchip.com
/PIMs)). Note: The TQFP microcontroller (U14) in the center of the PIM area is
part of the PICkit™ On Board circuit (#7 below) and is not intended for running
application code. In order to develop application code for the Explorer 16/32
Development Board, a PIM must always be installed on U1A.
2. DC power supply input jack (J12, center pin positive), accepting 8-15 V DC, for
powering the Explorer 16/32 board and any mikroBUS or PICtail Plus
accessory boards. The board may also be powered from any one of three USB
power sources.
3. Power switch (S7) – de-bounced on-off power pushbutton that can be used to
power cycle the PIM microcontroller and all other circuitry on the 5 V and 3.3 V
Explorer 16/32 power supply rails.
4. Power supply conversion circuitry – provides 5 V / 3.3 V power supply nets,
with short circuit and USB overcurrent limiting features.
5. Green power status LED (D1) – indicates when 5 V and 3.3 V rails are
switched on
6. MCLR reset button (S1) for manually resetting the PIM microcontroller.
7. PICkit On Board (PKOB) programmer/debugger and micro-B USB connector –
useful for basic programming or debug operations of select microcontroller
devices available as PIMs for the Explorer 16/32 Development Board.
