BASE BOARD

The FLEX Base Board is designed to export all the connections of a standard Microchip dsPIC (R) DSC micro-controller.
The board connections use the standard 2.54 mm pitch: this feature make it easy the usage of custom, home-made daughter boards.

The board have two options for using onboard dsPIC (R) DSC micro-controllers: dsPIC (R) DSC controller welded on the board surface, and a socket for installing the micro-controller through the interchangeable Plug-In Modules (PIMs) available from Mi-
crochip. The availability of the latter option allows the developer to forget any limit on the number of programming cycles during the implementation/test/debugging phases: a new PIM can be installed on the socket in case of any problem to the older one.

The FLEX Base Board is available in two versions:

• Full version
• Light version

The connectors are fully compatible between Full and Light Versions, so that an application developed with the Full Version can be easily moved to the Light Version and vice-versa, i.e., without any modification to the control program.
