Summary
The PICDEM™ 18R Demonstration Board demonstrates
the capabilities of the PIC18C601/801 family of
Microchip microcontrollers. It supports both PIC18C601
and PIC18C801 devices and provides a hardware
implementation of both 8-bit multiplexed/de-multiplexed
and 16-bit memory modes, as available on
PIC18C601/801 microcontrollers. The board includes
on-board 2 MB external FLASH memory and 128 KB
SRAM memory, as well as serial EEPROM, allowing the
user to access the different memory types the
PIC18C601/801 can interface to.
The PICDEM 18R comes preprogrammed with monitor
firmware that interfaces with a PC based software
(included), to allow users to evaluate the multitude of
peripherals on-board the PIC18C601/801. It can also
be used as a bootloader to program user code into
either external FLASH memory or SRAM memory. The
Windows® based setup program contains PC software,
complete firmware source code and tutorial files in both
assembly and 'C' languages. The board employs a
daughter board approach, where users can add their
own memory and experiment/develop their applications.
Flexible monitor/bootloader design allows easy
integration of new FLASH memory. In addition, it also
provides a general purpose prototype area for user
circuit.
The Demonstration Board is also equipped with a 6-pin
modular connector to interface directly with the
Microchip MPLAB®In-Circuit (ICD 2) Debugger. With the
addition of the MPLAB ICD 2 (sold separately), the
developer can completely reprogram the FLASH and
debug the application.

System Description:
The PICDEM 18R Demonstration Board is a general purpose board that allows users
to prototype designs based on the PIC18C601/801. It demonstrates the different
memory interfaces and peripherals of the devices and has prototype area available,
so that the user can customize the board. This enables users to save time in getting
a prototype system running and iron out potential issues before manufacturing a
PC board. PICDEM 18R Block Diagram
