EV8000
1.2 Preliminary Information
1.2.1 Laboratory Equipment
The following laboratory equipment is needed to use this evaluation kit:
1.2.1.1 8 - 35V DC Power Supply (which can also be used to supply the PIC programming voltage, if set
to 13V).
1.2.1.2 A µC control board, together with appropriate firmware and a user interface. This kit contains a
suitable control board, which is fitted with a pre-programmed PIC 16LC74JW (or similar) µC.
1.2.1.3 An 8Ω loudspeaker.
1.2.1.4 An IBM compatible PC; 40MHz '386DX or better with 8MB of RAM, running Microsoft Windows
3.11 / '95 / NT having a serial port configuration of 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and 19,200
baud with hardware handshake but without CR -> CR/LF conversion.
The following laboratory equipment is needed to re-program the PIC µC in this evaluation kit:
1.2.1.5 If the evaluation kit is to be programmed via the serial port (J3), then a PC running DOS, or a
DOS window under Windows 3.11 or '95, will need to be used with the PIC programming software
supplied ( PICPROGA.EXE ).
1.2.1.6 As an alternative to on-board programming, a PIC 16-series Development System (available
from Arizona Microchip Technology), or a suitable PIC programmer, together with PIC
development software, may be preferred.
1.2.1.7 MPASM assembler or MPLAB software is required for re-assembling the source code. These
tools are available from Arizona Microchip Technology.
1.2.1.8 A UV-eraser to remove the pre-programmed PIC µC firmware.
1.2.2 Handling Precautions
Like most evaluation kits, this product is designed for use in office and laboratory environments.
The following practices will help ensure its proper operation.
1.2.2.1 Static Protection
This product uses low power CMOS circuits which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Partially damaged circuits may function erroneously, leading to misleading results. Observe ESD
precautions at all times when handling this product.
1.2.2.2 Contents - Unpacking
Please ensure that you have received all of the items listed on the separate information sheet
(EK8000) and notify CML within 7 working days if the delivery is incomplete.
