    Chapter 1. F1 LV Evaluation Platform Overview INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the F1 LV Evaluation Platform. This kit allows you to begin development using the PIC16LF1947 microcontroller (MCU). The PIC16LF1947 is the first in a family of enhanced mid-range microcontrollers.
  • Page 13: Pickitâ„¢ 3 Programming/Debug Header

    The MCP1703 is a low-dropout voltage regulator with a 250 mA maximum output. Through the use of this component, the user has the option of powering the F1 LV Evaluation board through the USB Serial Converter connector. The USB supplies 5V, and the MCP1703 reduces this to the operating voltage of 3.3V.

  • Page 17: Powering The F1 Lv Evaluation Platform

    F1 LV Evaluation Platform User’s Guide POWERING THE F1 LV EVALUATION PLATFORM The PIC16LF1947 supplied with your F1 LV Evaluation Platform requires a supply voltage of 1.8V-3.6V. Voltages above 3.6V will degrade or damage the device. There are five ways to supply the necessary power.
  • Page 18: Powering From External Power Supply

    3. Verify the supply voltage to be between 1.8 and 3.6V. For proper LCD contrast, the supply should be 3.3V. 4. Populate EXT PWR jumper, J5. 5. Turn on the power supply. FIGURE 2-3: POWERING WITH EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY  2011 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41614A-page 17...
  • Page 19: Powering With The Add-On Expansion Header J3

    F1 LV Evaluation Platform User’s Guide POWERING WITH THE ADD-ON EXPANSION HEADER J3 The add-on expansion hardware will supply the F1 LV Evaluation board with 3.3V DC through use of a linear regulator. This allows the 5-12V motor power supply to power the PIC16LF1947.
  • Page 20: Powering With A Usb Cable

    To power with the USB cable, perform the following steps: 1. Make sure a jumper or an ammeter is connected across J4. 2. The USB cable will supply 5V DC to the F1 LV Evaluation board. The MCP1703 converts the 5V to 3.3V supply voltage for the PIC16LF1947.
  • Page 21: Add-On Motor Expansion

    A main task of the demo code is to allow the user to connect any of the expansion add-on motor boards and have the PIC16LF1947 determine the motor type and adjust the drive accordingly. The code provided with the F1 LV Evaluation board works with the following add-on boards:...
