Accelerate Time-to-Market with Training, Software Libraries and Development Tools

Training
Expand your knowledge with Microchips on-line web seminars and hands-on courses at our worldwide Regional Training Centers (RTCs). Our seminars and training classes are designed to t your schedule and offer an overview of many product, development tool and application topics. Visit www.microchip.com/ training for class content and schedules.

Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), Unravels I/O Multiplexing

With Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), you determine the peripheralto-pin map for selected digital peripherals. This highly exible capability is available on many of the PIC24 devices. The PPS is easy to congure and is fully supported by MPLAB Visual Device Initializer (VDI). Peripherals are drag-and-drop, while VDI displays your progress, provides error checking and generates conguration code.

nanoWatt XLP Technology

Many of todays designs are targeted for battery powered or low standby power applications. Products featuring nanoWatt XLP bring advanced low power design techniques and Deep Sleep operating mode to 16-bit controllers, giving sleep currents as low as 20 nA. The Deep Sleep operating mode supports wake-up from a number of sources including RTCC capability with currents as low as 500 nA.

Class Examples
MCU 3122: Extended PIC24/dsPIC Peripheral Conguration and Usage Using the C30 C Compiler This class covers the extended peripheral set of Microchips PIC24 microcontroller and dsPIC digital signal controller families. Using hands-on exercises and the C30 compiler, students become familiar programming Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), Parallel Master Port (PMP), Real Time Clock Calendar (RTCC), Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC) and DMA modules. COM 3202: Designing a USB Embedded Host Application The USB On-The-Go (OTG) Supplement was designed to allow embedded devices with substantially less resources than a PC to become hosts to other USB devices. Attendees will learn about USB hosting options, using a FAT le system library to manipulate les on a thumb drive, a process for developing a generic (custom class) driver and an application that acts as a host to a simple USB device.

Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU)

The Charge Time Measurement Unit is a versatile peripheral that can be used to implement a capacitive touch-sense keypad, or to implement a timer or pulse delay with ns resolution. The CTMU includes dedicated hardware that is combined with the devices A/D to easily implement capacitive touch sense keypad matrix with a minimum of processor overhead.

USB On-the-Go
The PIC24 product line now offers products that include USB-OTG. The USB-OTG allows a product to be used as either an embedded host, a peripheral, or to negotiate to perform as either an embedded host or peripheral. USB can now be implemented in your 16-bit system, making it practical for your embedded system and computer to share many of the same peripherals.
