Microchip Technology Curiosity Development Boards

The Curiosity Development Boards offer easy access to the power of Microchip Technology PIC Microcontrollers. The layout and external connections of the Curiosity Development Boards offer unparalleled access to the Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) available on many the PIC MCUs. These CIPs enable the user to integrate various system functions onto a single MCU, simplifying the design and keeping system power consumption and BOM cost low.

Out of the box, Curiosity Development Boards offer several options for user interface, including physical switches, mTouch^® capacitive sensing, and on-board potentiometers. A full complement of accessory boards is available via the MikroElectronika mikroBUS™ interface. To address the security requirements in Internet of Things (IoT) designs, select families of 16-bit and 32-bit PIC MCUs supported on Curiosity boards come equipped with an integrated hardware Cryptographic engine for data encryption/decryption and authentication. In addition, some members of the Curiosity family include Wi-Fi^® and Bluetooth^® connectivity.
