EV10N93A PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano Users Guide Preface The PIC32CM1216MC00032 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit (EV10N93A) is a hardware platform used to evaluate the ® PIC32CM MC microcontroller (MCU), which is supported by the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The evaluation kit provides an easy access to the features of the PIC32CM MC to integrate the device into a custom design.
– MIC5353 LDO regulator controlled by the on-board debugger – 2.7-5.1V output voltage – 500 mA maximum output current (limited by ambient temperature and output voltage) Kit Overview The PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the PIC32CM MC00. Micro‐USB Power/Status Nano PIC32CM1216MC 32.768kHz...
Curiosity Nano board is connected. MPLAB X IDE will present relevant information, such as data sheets and kit documentation. The PIC32CM MC00 device is programmed and debugged by the on-board debugger, hence external programmer or debugger tool is not required.
DGI GPIOs can be graphed using the Data Visualizer. The Virtual COM port is connected to a UART on the PIC32CM MC00 and provides an easy way to communicate with the target application through terminal software. The on-board debugger controls one Power and Status LED (marked PS) on the PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano board.
The voltage from the USB connector can vary between 4.4V to 5.25V (according to the USB specification) and will limit the maximum voltage to the target. The following figure shows the entire power supply system on the PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano. Figure 3-2. Power Supply Block Diagram...
3.3.2 External Supply The PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano can be powered by an external voltage instead of the on-board target regulator. When the Voltage Off (VOFF) pin is shorted to ground (GND) the on-board debugger firmware disables the target regulator and it is safe to apply an external voltage to the VTG pin.

Curiosity Nano Figure 3-4. On-Board Debugger Connections By cutting the GPIO straps with a sharp tool, all I/Os connected between the debugger and the PIC32CM MC00 are disconnected. To disconnect the target regulator, cut the VTG strap shown in the following figure.
EV10N93A Curiosity Nano Current Measurement The power to the PIC32CM MC00 is connected from the on-board power supply to the target voltage supply (VTG) with a cut strap as shown in Disconnecting the On-Board Debugger. To measure the power consumption of the PIC32CM MC00 and other peripherals connected to the board, cut the strap and connect an ammeter over the strap.
PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano Pinout All of the PIC32CM MC00 I/O pins are accessible at the edge connectors on the PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano except the button (PA22) and LED (PA23). The following figure shows the kit pinout. RA30 and RA31 are only available at the edge connector in the debugger section as long as the cut straps on the bottom are not cut.
Peripherals 4.2.1 One yellow user LED is available on the PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano kit which can be controlled with either GPIO or PWM. The LED can be activated by driving the connected I/O line to GND. Table 4-1. LED Connection...
Crystal The PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Nano board has the option for a 32.768 kHz crystal that is mounted but not by default. By default, the crystal is not connected to the PIC32CM MC00 as the GPIO's are routed out to the edge connector.
