INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE MCP215X/40 DEVELOPER’S DAUGHTER BOARD?
Other boards may also be supported. Please refer to the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board and
desired PICDEM™ Demo Board documentation to determine if the boards you are using are supported.
For proper orientation of the daughter board to the PICDEM™ demo board, Revision 5 of the
PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Board is recommended. Revision 4 will function, but the direction of the optical
transceiver will be facing the same side as the serial port connector.
The MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board allows the MCP215X TX and RX signals to be routed to
different header connections. This may allow the system to support multiple configurations, such as being
connected to either the PICmicro
communicate via the DB-9 connector).

PICDEM™ DEMO BOARD SUPPORT
This chapter provides an overview of the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board
and covers the following topics:
• What is the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board?
• What the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board Kit includes
The MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate
the MCP2150, MCP2155 or MCP2140 IrDA
Encoder/Decoder devices. This allows the system designer to implement a low-cost,
wireless IR port in any application providing support for IrDA standard bit encoding/
decoding.
The MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board is designed to interface to several of
the “new” low-cost PICmicro
to be interfaced into your application. Multiple header interfaces are available that allow
support for the many different PICDEM™ Demo Boards, as well as being easily
jumpered into systems for development purposes. Table 1-1 shows some of the
PICDEM™ demo boards that are supported.
Depending on the features of the PICmicro Microcontroller Unit (MCU) and the
selected demo board, the MCP215X/MCP2140 TX and RX signals can either be
connected (jumpered) directly to the RS-232 line driver or to the PICmicro MCU’s RX
and TX signals. The PICmicro MCU could process that data and then send it out of the
UART.
