INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
This chapter discusses the setup and operation of the MCP3551 PICtail™ Demo
Board.
The MCP3551 PICtail™ Demo Board is designed to demonstrate Microchip
Technology’s MCP3551 22-Bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter performance
using the DataView software installed on a Personal Computer (PC). The demo board
can be used with the MPLAB
Development Programmer for developing demonstration/evaluation firmware.
This demo board is designed to evaluate the MCP3551 with minimum Printed Circuit
Board (PCB) noise. The PCB layout practices low-noise design to reduce the signal
noise as much as possible in order to demonstrate the 22-bit performance of the
MCP3551.
The MCP3551 PICtail™ Demo Board has the following features:
• Three precision potentiometers for demonstrating the capabilities of the MCP3551
• USB interface for connecting to a PC
• On-board PIC18F4550 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) with USB for communication
• DataView software with easy-to-read format and data logging
• Three headers/connectors for programming the PIC18F4550 MCU using any of
with DataView software
