MICROCHIP PIC18F8720 Microcontroller Board

Available now our most powerful PIC Controller to date, the new PIC18F8720 Microontroller board. Featuring the high performance PIC18F8720 Microcontroller with a massive 128k of internal Flash Memory. Optimized and ideal for large C programs, this small compact controller will suit the most demanding applications with heaps of features combined with high-speed operation.
The PIC18F8720 Microcontroller Board is loaded with features, inlcuding an optimized core for high speed operation. Full linear program memory addressing for the full 128k of program memory. Hardware implemented 8 x 8 Multiply instruction. Additional external memory can be easily added for up to 2MBytes. Up to 16-Channels of 10-bit A/D Converters are included together with 5 Capture/Compare Modules and 2 USART ports. Up to 70 I/O points are available with all port connectors brought out to standard headers for easy connect and disconnect. In-Circuit program download is also provided, enabling the board to be easily updated with new code and modified as required, without the need to remove the microcontroller.
All the necessary support components are included, together with a Power and Programming LED for easy status indication. Plus a reset switch for program execution and a RS232 connection for data transfer to and from a standard RS232 port, available on most computers.
Our new PIC18F8720 Microcontroller Board is suited for the most heavy duty embedded applications with loads of program memory and heaps of I/O points for controlling a wide range of applications. Programs can be easily updated with direct in-circuit programming making this unit perfect for industrial and commercial controllers. The optimized core and high speed operation is ideal for large C programs where a large number of computations need to be processed quickly. The PIC18F8720 Controller is the ideal choice for those large control applications where large memory and high speed are essential requirements.
