MCP6S22 PGA PICtail™ Demo Board User’s Guide Note: This demo board can be powered with an external voltage source, +5V, using the V and GND test points. In this case, the user interface switches used to program the PGA gains and channels would still be functional, but the user has to use an oscilloscope to measure the output voltage.
MCP6S22 PGA PICtail™ Demo Board User’s Guide DEMO BOARD DESCRIPTION The following sections describe each element of this demo board in further detail. 2.4.1 Power This demo board can be powered using the USB interface, an external voltage source or the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit. Power to the digital and analog components is separated in order to avoid digital crosstalk to the analog components;...
