Microchip: PIC32 Plug in Module (PIM) and Adaptor

PIC32 Plug in Module (PIM) and Adaptor:

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.

Plug-In Module Name	Module Description
MA320011MA320011 : PIC32MX 1xx/2xx Plug in Module (PIM)	The PIC32MX250F128DPIC32MX250F128D PIM is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the PIC32MX1XX/ 2XX family of devices using Explorer 16 Development Board. It enables USB and graphics development with the PIC32MX2XX series. The PIC32MX250F128DPIC32MX250F128D PIM is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the PIC32MX1XX/2XX family of devices using development boards such as the Explorer 16 Development Board, which supports 100-pin PIM interfaces. This PIM can be used to evaluate the following MCUs: PIC32MX250F128DPIC32MX250F128D
AC320002AC320002: PIC32 Starter Kit Plug in Module (PIM) Adapter	The PIC32 Starter Board PIM Adapter is designed to enable the PIC32 Starter Board to work with the Explorer 16 Development Board. This enables users to customize functionality using PICtail Plus daughter cards or eliminate the need for external debugging hardware. With the PIC32 Starter Board plugged into the Explorer 16 Development Board, there are 2 options to connect to MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE): Use the existing PIC32 Starter Board circuitry. Ensure the PIC32 Starter Board USB cable is connected to the PIC32 Starter Board debug port. Also, connect the +9V DC power supply to the Explorer 16 Development Board. Use a third party JTAG debugger connected to the Explorer 16 Development Board JTAG port. Note: The PIM connector does not provide +5V, therefore the PIC32 Starter Board +5V_EXT signal is not connected to the application circuit. The connector on the PIC32 Starter Board PIM Adapter is not compatible with the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator or the MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger.
