DescriptionThis is the PICkit 4, the official programmer from Microchip. The PICkit 4 allows debugging and programming of PIC(R), dsPIC(R), AVR, SAM and CEC flash microcontrollers and MPUs using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment(IDE). The MPLAB PICkit 4 is connected to a PC using a high-speed 2.0 USB interface and can be connected to the target via an 8-pin Single In-Line(SIL)connector. The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming(TM)(ICSP(TM)). An additional micro SD card slot and the ability to be self-powered from the target means you can take your code with you and program on the go. Comes with a USB to micro-B USB cable.FeaturesPowered by a high-speed USB 2.0, no external power requiredReal-time executionMPLAB X IDE compatible(free copy included)Built-in over-voltage/short circuit monitorFirmware upgradeable from PC/web downloadFully enclosedTarget voltage of 1.20V to 5.5VCan supply up to 50mA of power to the targetMinimal current consumption at <100μA from targetDiagnostic LEDs(power, busy, error)Read/write program and data memory of microcontrollerErase of program memory space with verificationFreeze-peripherals at breakpoint8-pin single in-line header supports advanced interfaces such as 4-wire JTAG and Serial Wire Debug with streaming Data GatewayBackward compatible for demo boards, headers and target systems using 2-wire JTAG and ICSP
DescriptionThe SN74HC595N is a simple 8-bit shift register IC. Simply put, this shift register is a device that allows additional inputs or outputs to be added to a microcontroller by converting data between parallel and serial formats. Your chosen microprocessor is able to communicate with the The SN74HC595N using serial information then gathers or outputs information in a parallel(multi-pin)format. Essentially it takes 8 bits from the serial input and then outputs them to 8 pins.This small DIP packaged IC contains an 8-bit, serial-in parallel-out shift register that feeds an 8-bit D-type storage register with parallel 3-state outputs.Note:This is a drop-in replacement for the 74HC595 shift register IC and should function just fine in any application the previous version could.Get started with the Shift Register GuideFeatures8-Bit Serial-In, Parallel-Out ShiftWide Operating Voltage Range of 2 V to 6 VHigh-Current 3-State Outputs Can Drive Up to 15 LSTTL LoadsLow Power Consumption:80-μA±6-mA Output Drive at 5 V
