The purpose of this series of articles is to illustrate how to setup the Microchip IMPLAB® X IDE in Linux for the low cost MIcrochip evaluation kit such as the PIC16F13145-CNANO shown in the next figure,
PIC16F13145 Key Features
The PIC16F13145 microcontroller family has a focused set of peripherals, including the new
Configurable Logic Block (CLB) peripheral, to be used for hardware-based custom logic design, which provides an effective method to design embedded applications.
• Configurable Logic Block (CLB)
• Storage Area Flash (SAF) one-time programmable memory
• Memory Access Partition (MAP)
• 10-bit 300 ksps ADC with Computation (ADCC) for responsive sensor designs
• 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with buffered outputs
• Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for pin mapping
• UART with support for asynchronous, RS-232, RS-485, and LIN compatible
• The Device Information Area (DIA) stores factory calibration values to help improve temperature sensor accuracy
Board Features
• PIC16F13145 Microcontroller
• USB Type-C® Connector
• One Yellow User LED
• One Mechanical User Switch
• One green power and status LED
• Footprint for 32.768 kHz Crystal
• On-Board Debugger support in Microchip MPLAB® X IDE:– Board identification– Virtual serial port (CDC)– Programming and debugging– One debug GPIO channel (DGI GPIO)
• USB Powered
• Adjustable Target Voltage:– MIC5353 LDO regulator controlled by the on-board debugger– 1.8–5.1V output voltage (limited by USB input voltage)– 500 mA maximum output current (limited by ambient temperature and output voltage
