Power Supply and USB

Figure 2+1: Two power supply unit and USB schematic

1).Power Supply

PIC+EK Board contains power supply that creates stable voltage 5V and 3.3V and current levels necessary for powering
each part of the board. Power supply section contains two power regulators: 78M05, which generates VCC+5V, and
LM1117+3.3 which creates VCC+3.3V power supply. The board can be powered in two different ways: with USB power
supply (USB), or using external DC 7 12V via 2P Screw Terminal (EXT+PWR). External voltage levels must be in range of
DC 7 12V. Use J2 to specify whether you are using 5V or 3.3V power supply for the system. Use J1 to specify whether
you are using USB or External power supply. Upon providing the power using either external or USB power source you
can turn on power supply by using switch(POWERSW). LED (PWRLED) will indicate the presence of power supply.

2).USB Module

The D+ and D+ lines on USB power supply connector (USB) are connected to the Microcontroller socket, which are for
creating a USB HID application if you are using a microcontroller with USB module inside like PIC18F4550. The USB
enable jumper(JP1) is used to enable the USB function.

How to power the board?

1.With USB cable

To power the board with USB cable, place jumper J1 in USB
position(USB_PWR). You can then plug in the USB cable as shown

on the right image, and turn the power switch(POWERSW) ON.

2.With laboratory power supply

To power the board using screw terminals, place jumper J1 in
EXT_PWR position. You can then screw on the cables in the screw
terminals as shown on the right image, and turn the power
switch(POWERSW) ON. External voltage levels must be in range of
DC 7 12V and pay more attention to the “+” and “ ” in case the
board is damaged.

MCU System

PIC+EK board contains seven DIP sockets: DIP40, DIP28, DIP20, DIP18, DIP14,DIP8 and 10F2XX. MCUs. And it
supports over 350 microcontrollers from PIC10F,PIC12F, PIC16F, PIC16Enh, PIC18F, PIC18FJ and PIC18FK families.
There are two DIP8 sockets for PIC microcontrollers provided on the board DIP8 and 10F2XX. Which of these sockets
you will use depends solely on the pinout of the microcontroller in use. PIC+EK development system comes with the
default PIC16F877A microcontroller in a DIP40 package.
The MCU system also contains ICSP Interface, Crystal Socket and System Reset.

1).ICSP Interface

In Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) is an enhanced ISP technique implemented in Microchip’s PICmicro
One Time Programmable (OTP) and FLASH RISC microcontrollers (MCU). Use of only two I/O pins to
serially input and output data makes ICSP easy to use and less intrusive on the normal operation of the MCUs. We use
standard 6p ICSP on the board and a jumper for setting proper PGC and PGD for different MCUs. The standard ICSP
interface (ICSP) allows you to connect PICKIT2, PICKIT3, ICD2 or other third party Programmer/debugger directly.

2).System Reset

Reset circuit is made with 10K pull up resistor, RESET button connected to GND and a 0.1uF capacitor for filtering.

3).Crystal Socket

Crystal Socket is connect to the MCU sockets directly, and allows you to change different crystals for your system.

Figure 2+2: MCU System

4 Digit SEGLED Display

One seven segment digit consist of 7+1 LEDs which are arranged in a specific formation which can be used to represent
digits from 0 to 9 and even some letters. One additional LED is used for marking the decimal dot, in case you want to write
a decimal point in the desired segment. PIC+EK contains four of these digits put together to form 4 digit segled display.
Driving such a display is done using multiplexing techniques. Data lines are shared between segments, and therefore the
same segment LEDs in each digit are connected in parallel. Each digit has it’s unique digit select line, which is used to
enable the digit to which the data is currently being sent. By multiplexing data through all four segments fast enough, you
create an illusion that all four segments are in operation simultaneously. This is possible because human eye has a slower
reaction time than the mention changes. This way you can represent numbers in decimal or hexadecimal form. Eight data
lines that are common for all the digits are connected to connector (CN6), and digit select lines are connected to
connector (CN3) via a 74HC138 3 to 8 line decoder.The two connectors does not be connected to any IOs, and it makes
your experiments more flexible. In order to enable Segled Display,you must connect the CN3 and CN6 to the IO lines of

 PIC EK™ Development Board Users Manual
current limiting resistor in series so that LEDs are provided with the current value specified by the manufacturer. The
current varies from 0.2mA to 20mA, depending on the type of the LED and the manufacturer. PIC+EK board uses
low current LEDs with typical current consumption of 0.2mA or 0.3mA, depending of VCC voltage selection. Board
contains 8 LEDs which can be used for visual indication of the logic state on PORT pins. An active LED indicates that a
logic high (1) is present on the pin.

In order to enable LEDs, it is necessary to connected them to the appropriate IOs Port via connector (CN4) using dupont
wires. The CN4 connector does not be connected to any IOs, and it makes your experiments more flexible. See the
comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the hardware.

2).Joystick

PIC+EK also equips a Joystick which is a smart navigation key concept based on contactless, magnetic movement
detection. You can think it simply as 5 Tact Switchs installed on one device, and they are the Left, Right, Up, Down and
Center. In order to enable the Joystick, it is necessary to connected them to the appropriate IOs Port via connector
(CN19.3~7) using dupont wires. See the comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the
hardware.

4X4 Matrix Keypad

4X4 Matrix Keypad is used for loading numerics into the microcontroller. It consists of 16 buttons arranged in a form of an
array containig four Rows and four columns. In order to enable the 4X4 Matrix Keypad, it is necessary to connected them
to the appropriate IOs Port via connector (CN18) using dupont wires. The CN18 connector does not be connected to any
IOs, and it makes your experiments more flexible.

Figure 2+7: 4X4 Matrix Keypad

1 wire DS18B20 and ADC

1).1+Wire DS18B20 Temperature Sensor Module

DS18B20 is a digital temperature sensor that uses 1 wire® interface for it’s operation. It is capable of measuring
temperatures within the range of 55 to 128°C, and provides ±0.5°C accuracy for temperatures within the range of 10 to
85°C. It requires 3V to 5.5V power supply for stable operation. It takes maximum of 750ms for the DS18B20 to calculate
temperature with 9 bit resolution. 1 wire® serial communication enables data to be transferred over a single
communication line, while the process itself is under the control of the master microcontroller. The advantage of such
communication is that only one microcontroller pin is used. Multiple sensors can be connected on the same line. All slave

www.LogiFind.com 13
 PIC EK™ Development Board Users Manual
devices by default have a unique ID code, which enables the master device to easily identify all devices sharing the same
interface. PIC+EK provides a separate socket for the DS18B20. Communication line with the microcontroller is connected
via CN9.4 to RA4.See the comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the hardware.

2).ADC input

Digital signals have two discrete states, which are decoded as high and low, and interpreted as logic 1 and logic 0. Analog
signals, on the other hand, are continuous, and can have any value within defined range. A/D converters are specialized
circuits which can convert analog signals (voltages) into a digital representation, usually in form of an integer number. The
value of this number is linearly dependent on the input voltage value. Most microcontrollers nowadays internally have A/D
converters connected to one or more input pins. Some of the most important parameters of A/D converters are conversion
time and resolution. Conversion time determines how fast can an analog voltage be represented in form of a digital
number. This is an important parameter if you need fast data acquisition. The other parameter is resolution. Resolution
represents the number of discrete steps that supported voltage range can be divided into. It determines the sensitivity of
the A/D converter. Resolution is represented in maximum number of bits that resulting number occupies. Most
microcontrollers have 10 bit resolution, meaning that maximum value of conversion can be represented with 10 bits,which
converted to integer is 210=1024. This means that supported voltage range, for example from 0 3.3V, can be divided into
1024 discrete steps of about 3.222mV. PIC+EK provides an interface in form of potentiometer for simulating analog input
voltages that can be routed to any of the 8 supported analog input pins(AN0 to AN8) via Jumper CN9.See the comments
in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the hardware.

PS/2, Buzzer,EEPROM and RTC

1).PS/2 Communication Port

The PS/2 port is a 6 pin mini DIN connector used for connecting some keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer
system. PIC+EK provides a standard PS/2 port to connect a common PC keyboard to your PIC+EK. In order to enable the
PS/2 Module, it is necessary to connected them to the appropriate IOs Port via connector (CN11.0~1) using dupont wires.
See the comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the hardware.

Figure 2+9: PS/2, Buzzer,EEPROM and RTC

 PIC EK™ Development Board Users Manual
2).Piezo Buzzer

Piezoelectricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure,but also
providing the charge to the piezo electric material causes it to physically deform. One of the most widely used applications
of piezoelectricity is the production of sound generators, called piezo buzzers. Piezo buzzer is an electric component that
comes in different shapes and sizes, which can be used to create sound waves when provided with analog electrical
signal. PIC+EK comes with piezo buzzer which can be connected to any IO of microcontroller via connector (CN11.2).
Buzzer is driven by transistor T1. Microcontrollers can create sound by generating a PWM(Pulse Width Modulated) signal
– a square wave signal, which is nothing more than a sequence of logic zeros and ones. Frequency of the square signal
determines the pitch of the generated sound, and duty cycle of the signal can be used to increase or decrease the volume
in the range from 0% to 100% of the duty cycle. You can generate PWM signal using hardware capture compare module,
which is usually available in most microcontrollers, or by writing a custom software which emulates the desired signal
waveform.

3).I²
²C EEPROM

I²
²C is a multi master serial single ended bus that is used to attach low speed peripherals to computer or embedded
systems. I²
²C uses only two open drain lines, Serial Data Line (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL), pulled up with
resistors. SCL line is driven by a master, while SDA is used as bidirectional line either by master or slave device.
Up to 112 slave devices can be connected to the same bus. Each slave must have a unique address.
EEPROM is short for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. It is usually a secondary storage memory
in devices containing data that is retained even if the device looses power supply. EEPROMs come with parallel or serial
interface to the master device. Because of the ability to alter single bytes of data, EEPROM devices are used to store
personal preference and configuration data in a wide spectrum of consumer, automotive, telecommunication, medical,
industrial, and PC applications. easyPIC Pro supports serial EEPROM which uses I2C communication interface and has
1024 bytes of available memory. EEPROM itself supports single byte or 16 byte (page) write and read operations. Data
rates are dependent of power supply voltage, and go up to 400 kHz for 3.3V power supply.
PIC+EK equips an IC socket for EEPROM IC with different capacity.In order to enable the I²
²C EEPROM, it is necessary to
connected them to the appropriate microcontroller Pin via connector (CN11.3~4) using dupont wires. See the comments
in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the hardware.

4).Real Time Clock PCF8563

The PCF8563 is a CMOS real time clock/calendar optimized for low power consumption. A programmable clock output,
interrupt output and voltage low detector are also provided. All address and data are transferred serially via a two line
bidirectional I2C bus. Maximum bus speed is 400 kbits/s. The built in word address register is incremented automatically
after each written or read data byte.
In order to enable the Real Time Clock PCF8563, it is necessary to connected them to the appropriate microcontroller
Pin via connector (CN11.5~6) using dupont wires. See the comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to
connect the hardware.

Step Motor, Infrared Receiver and RS232

1).Step Motor with Driver

The ULN2003A is high voltage high current Darlington transistor arrays. Each consists of seven npn Darlington pairs that
feature high voltage outputs with common cathode clamp diodes for switching inductive loads. The collector current rating
of a single Darlington pair is 500 mA. The Darlington pairs can be paralleled for higher current capability. Applications
include relay drivers, hammer drivers, lamp drivers, display drivers (LED and gas discharge), line drivers, and logic buffers.
On PIC+EK, We use a ULN2003A to drive step motor. In this application, you need to connect a

Figure 2+10: BYJ+48+5V Step Motor

In order to enable the ULN2003A Drive Module, it is necessary to connected them to the appropriate IOs Port via
connector (CN20.2~5) using dupont wires and connect a BYJ+48+5V Step Motor(Figure 2+10) to the socket(stepmotor).
See the comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect the hardware.

2).Infrared Receiver

1838V is miniaturized infrared receivers for remote control and other applications requiring improved ambient light
rejection.The separate PIN diode and preamplifier IC are assembled on a single leadframe. The epoxy package contains
a special IR filter.This module has excellent performance even in disturbed ambient light applications and provides
protection against uncontrolled output pulses. PIC+EK equips a socket(Remote) for installing 1838V infrared receiver.

In order to enable the 1838V infrared receiver Module, it is necessary to connected them to the appropriate IOs Port via
connector (CN20.1) using a dupont wire. See the comments in the source code provided in CD Rom for how to connect
the hardware.

3).UART via RS+232

The UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) is one of the most common ways of exchanging data between
the MCU and peripheral components. It is a serial protocol with separate transmit and receive lines, and can be used for
full duplex communication. Both sides must be initialized with the same baud rate, otherwise the data will not be received
correctly. RS+232 serial communication is performed through a 9 pin SUB D connector and the microcontroller UART
module.

In order to enable this communication, it is necessary to establish a connection between RX and TX lines on SUB D
connector and the same pins on the target microcontroller using connector CN20.6~7. Since RS 232 communication
voltage levels are different than microcontroller logic levels, it is necessary to use a RS 232 Transceiver circuit.
