The PIC24H mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Board is designed to facilitate the development of capacitive touch-based applications using PIC24H-series microcontrollers. This board is intended to supplement the motherboard portfolio already included in the mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit (DM183026-2). This evaluation board includes an onboard PICkit serial interface, an ICSP header, a USB connector (for power only), and a 16-bit LED display. The board also includes a 24-pin header that can be used to interface the 2-channel and 4-channel slider plug-in boards, the 12-matrix key plug-in board, and the 8-direct key plug-in board. These plug-in boards are included in the mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit (sold separately, DM183026-2).

The PIC24H CPU has a 16-bit (data) modified Harvard architecture with an enhanced instruction set. The CPU has a 24-bit instruction word with a variable length opcode field. The Program Counter (PC) is 24 bits wide and addresses up to 4M x 24 bits of user program memory space.
