SYSTEM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Hardware
The MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board requires a Host Controller or a UART
circuit. To demonstrate the board, the easiest method is to use one of the compatible
PICDEM™ Demo Boards. A good choice is the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo Board.
This allows the MCP215X or MCP2140 device to interface to either:
• PIC18F8722’s EUSART1
• PIC18F8722’s EUSART2
• PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo Board’s DB-9 connector (MAX3232C)
Additional instructions for performing a demo using the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer
Demo Board are shown in Appendix D. “Using the MCP215X/40 Developer’s
Daughter Board with the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo Board”. Appendix
E. “Using the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board with the PICDEM™ FS
USB Demo Board” supplies instructions for performing a demo using the PICDEM™
FS USB Demo Board. Appendix F. “Configuring the HyperTerminal
may be useful for configuring the HyperTerminal program on the PC.
System Requirements
Table 2-5 shows the requirements for a system that can be used to demonstrate the
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board.
System Setup
The system setup requires a Primary Device and a Secondary Device. The Primary
Device can be a PC with an IR port (integrated IR port or IR Dongle) or a PDA. The
secondary device can be the embedded system (PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo
Board and a MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board) in a stand-alone mode or con-
nected to a PC with a serial communication port (UART) and application program, such
as HyperTerminal.
Figure 2-5 shows a system block diagram.

Purpose
As a Primary Device, this device will initiate communication to the
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board.
Also
For Demo#3, the PC will also “talk” to the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer
Demo Board (Encoder/Decoder board) via the serial port and a
session of the HyperTerminal
To connect the PC serial ports to the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo
Board’s serial port.
This board being demonstrated.
The MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board will be installed into
this board for demonstrated.
Used to power the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo Boards. Pro-
grammed with the 00077 - HPC.asm code.
Allows you to program the PICmicro MCUs on either the PICDEM™
HPC Explorer Board or PICDEM™ FS USB Board.
