Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader that empowers innovation, is now shipping the PIC32MX470 Curiosity development board from Microchip Technology. The cost-effective, fully integrated development platform enables rapid prototyping of 32-bit designs using the onboard Microchip PIC32MX470 microcontroller.

The Microchip PIC32MX470 Curiosity development board, available from Mouser Electronics, uses Microchip’s MPLAB^® X integrated development environment (IDE) and PIC32’s powerful software framework, MPLAB Harmony to provide a flexible and modular interface to application development, a rich set of inter-operable software stack, and easy-to-use features. The board features a wide range of peripherals, as well as user interface and expansion options including two mikroBUS™ click interface headers to support over 180 MikroElectronika click boards™. The board also includes the footprint for a Microchip BM64 Bluetooth module, a fully-certified, embedded 2.4 GHz Bluetooth 4.2 module that supports the Bluetooth BDR/EDR/BLE specifications.

The onboard PIC32MX470 microcontroller delivers up to 120 MHz DMIPS and provides 512 Kbytes of flash memory. The microcontroller boasts a rich set of integrated peripherals, including two SPI/I²S interfaces for audio codecs, mTouch^® capacitive touch-sensing, an 8-bit Parallel Master Port (PMP) for graphics or external memory, and a 28-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

Out of the box or with expansion boards, the Microchip PIC32MX470 Curiosity development board provides the freedom to develop for a variety of applications, including Internet of Things (IoT), audio, Bluetooth, robotics development, and proof-of-concept designs.
