 1. Introduction
EVBeasyPIC is a development board designer for the hobbyist and engineers
who want to quickly prototype their system based on 8-bit PIC microcontrollers
from Microchip. Developer has access to all pins of the micro, which are brought to
the header (pin connectors) and labeled accordingly. Depending upon the board`s
configuration (listed versions) some or all of the following components are found
on the board: thermometer, potentiometer, relay, buzzer, RTC (real time clock),
four seven-segment LED, RS232 interface,1-Wire connector, I2C connector, ICSP
connector, external FLASH memory, CAN interface, SD/MMC Card slot, USB-B
connector and LCD display (2x16). The pin headers provided allow easy access to
all these components. In addition, there are eight micro-switches and eight diodes
which could be connected to any of the pin connectors or additional components,
which may be placed on the large, adjacent prototype area. The power circuitry on
board (bridge, voltage regulator) eliminates the need for an external regulated
power supply.
This board comes with the several examples of the C code routines (source from),
to facilitate testing and quick development in using the board`s resources.

4. Power Supply

The board should be supplied from external supply with voltage 7..12V AC, or 9..15V DC,
using a standard plug with bolt diameter 2.1mm placed in the supply socket.

The board may be supplied form USB-B port by the closure of the USB_5V jumper.

Stabilized voltage VTG is accessible on the connectors of the board extensions.

There are two jumpers placed on the board: SUPPLY and 3V3. The closure of the
3V3 jumper results in all the circuits being supplied with 3.3V voltage (it can be regulated
by 3V3 potentiometer from 1.8V to 3.3V), by the open jumper the voltage will be 5V.

SUPPLY jumper gives the opportunity of connecting voltage omitting the circuits of the
bridge and the regulator.

 5. Peripheral Units

LED Diodes
The board has 8 LED diodes, which make the simplest interface between the system and the user.
This is especially useful for the beginners, who want to manipulate or debug their program with
different hardware configurations. The diode turns on after grounding of the associated Ldn (n = 0
8) pin.

Figure 1. LED Diodes

DataFlash Memory
Board have external DataFlash AT45DB041B memory with 4MB space. Memory is power by diode,
which decrease voltage. Is a possibility to power without that diode, correctly from supply source by
short jumper 3V3 placed near memory.

Figure 2. DataFlash Memory Implementation

1-Wire Connector
Allows to connect an external devices using an 1-wire interface.

I2C Connector
Allows to connect an external devices using an 1-wire interface. Extras jumpers placed near
connector, allow to connect pull-up resistors.

Figure 3. I2C Implementation

RS232 Interface
There is a DB-9 connector on the board, connected with the ST3232 state converter. On the other
side of the converter there are pin connectors with converter circuit terminals, allowing to plug in to
the processor.

Figure 4. RS232 Implementation

9
Switches
The board is equipped with 8 micro-switches. Pressing one of them causes grounding of the
corresponding pin on the SW header.

Figure 5. Switches Implementation

Relay
Access to the relay circuitry consist of the REL pin of the MISC header and pins: NC,NO,COM of the
relay header. REL pin is indirectly connected to the base of the transistor. Logic level 0 applied to the
REL pin, will activate the relay. External circuits can be controlled via NC, NO, COM I/O pins.

Figure 6. Relay Implementation

10
Buzzer
The board has an acoustic indicator turned on and off by the transistor. The base of the transistor is
connected to the SPK pin of the MISC header. Logic level `0` applied to the SPK pin, will activate the
speaker.

Figure 7. Buzzer Impedance

Potentiometers
The board is equipped with two potentiometers, allowing for simulation of the analog circuit outputs.
The potentiometer enables the adjustment of voltage in the range 0-VTG. The potentiometers output
is accessible on POT1 and POT2 pin of the MISC connector. Customer can choose a resistance of
potentiometer during buying board.

Figure 8. Potentiometers Implementation

11
7-Segment LED Displays
The board is equipped with four 7-segment led display. They make an interface between the system
and the user, allowed to display up to four chars. Each led display has two anodes, seven segments
and DP (digital point), which become active after applied to their pin logic level 0.

Figure 9. 7-Segment LED Display Implementation

LM35 Thermometer
Thermometer LM35 allows to measure an environment`s temperature and display it on seven-
segment LEDs or on LCD display.

RTC DS1307
The board has one real time clock with accumulator 3V6 (The board can be also supply form
accumulator). The clock communicates with the micro through the I2C interface. All the connections
needed for controlling the DS1307 circuit are brought out to the RTC pin header. The accumulator pin
is also placed on the header.

Figure 10. RTC Implementation

12
LCD Display
The board has one LCD display interface. The LCD connector has four data lines and two control
lines: strobe line E and control line R/S. The display R/W line is permanently connected to ground; all
other lines are available at the pin header. The adjustment of contrast id done by two way:

by potentiometer ADJ CONT which output pin ADJC must be then connected with LCD`s pin
CONT.
programmable, then LCD`s pin CONT must be connected to the processor.

Figure 11. LCD Display Implementation

USB-B Interface
Board is equipped with USB interface connector. USB allows connection with PC or other USB host
and transfer data with up to 12MB/s speed. Along with USB connector there are RC filtering circuits
and jumper for connecting USB bus power with board +5V voltage.

Figure 12. USB Implementation

13
Solution with USB_5V jumper allows drawing up to 100mA from USB bus. To draw higher current (up
to 500mA), accordingly to USB 1.1 or 2.0 specifications, power switch should be used. Software
should turn on this power switch after successful enumeration. Example of power switch is shown
below (it is not implemented on the board).

SD/MMC Card Slot

The board has built-in SD/MMC card connector. Used are only those lines needed to SPI mode.

Warning: +3.3V power supply voltage.

Figure 13. SD/MMC Slot Implementation

14
CAN Interface
The board have CAN transceiver SN65HVD230 form Texas Instruments with terminal-block
connector.

Warning: +3.3V power supply voltage.

Figure 14. CAN Transceiver Implementation

On board was implemented Slope Control by place

resistor R75. There is a possibility to choose two work
condition: High Speed and Slope Control by placed
jumper JP27.

CONT Potentiometer
There is a ADJ CONT potentiometer, which allows to control the contrast on LCD. Then output pin
ADJC must be connected with LCD`s pin CONT.

AREF Potentiometer
Allow to adjust reference voltage of ADC in range from 0V to VTG. It is connected by jumper AREF to
one of microcontrollers port.

3V3 Potentiometer
The board is equipped with one potentiometer, allowing to regulate voltage VTG between 3.3 1,25
V ( even if 3V3 jumper is closed).

RESET Switch
Allow to apply external reset.
