Processor Plug-In Modules are small circuit boards to be used with the various Microchip Development Boards to evaluate various MCU families. These plug into the main processor socket of the Development Boards so that different microcontrollers can be used for prototyping, demonstration or development quickly and easily.

The PIC18F87K22 Plug-in Module (MA180028) is an accessory to the PICDEM™ PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032) that allows users to easily experiment with the PIC18F87K22 family of microcontrollers. PIC18F87K22 is the superset member of the family and this PIM can be used to evaluate and develop with the PIC18F87K22 products. The PIM takes the place of the on-board PIC18F8722 device, and changes the output of the voltage regulator on the board to the proper voltage level for these parts. This enables users to quickly evaluate the new PIC18FK Flash devices without having to buy a completely new demo board. This processor PIM includes a 80-pin PIC18F87K22 MCU sample

This PIM can be used to evaluate the following MCUs:

• PIC18F87K22
• PIC18F86K22
• PIC18F85K22
• PIC18F67K22
• PIC18F66K22
• PIC18F65K22
