Product Description
The Clicker 2 Board™ for PIC18FK is a compact PIC18 development kit with two mikroBUS sockets for Click Board™ connectivity. It carries an 8-bit PIC18F67K40 microcontroller from Microchip offering up to 64 MHz operation with 16 MIPS, with a built-in USB-UART bootloader that makes it easy to program.
Everything you Need to get Started
The board features everything you need to get started: a PIC18F67K40 microcontroller, micro USB connector, two mikroBUS sockets, two LEDs and push buttons, reset button and headers for interfacing with external electronics.
PIC18F67K40 Microcontroller
PIC18F67K40 is a 64-Pin, low-power, high-performance microcontroller with XLP technology. Equipped with a 10-bit ADC with Computation (ADCC) automating Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) techniques for advanced touch sensing, averaging, filtering, oversampling and performing automatic threshold comparisons.The new PIC18F K-series are now the highest performance members of the PIC18F family offering up to 64 MHz operation with 16 MIPS. Operating range of 1.8 to 3.6 volts with 100K write endurance and 40 year retention typical for both Flash and Data EEPROM memory.
The microcontroller has three power saving modes: Doze mode, Sleep mode and Idle mode.
The PIC18F67K40 has 128 KB FLASH program memory with self-read/write capability, 3568 bytes of data SRAM memory and 1024 bytes of EEPROM.
