The LCD Explorer Demonstration board is the latest 8 Common LCD Board for evaluation of the PIC24F and PIC18F LCD devices. The board comes with a PIC24FJ128GA310 PIM and has a PICtail Plus connector to showcase the PICtail Plus with the LCD microcontroller. The PIC24FJ128GA310 includes advanced low power features including a Low Voltage Sleep mode that maintains the device state and RAM with a typical current of 340nA, and a Vbat pin that automatically transitions to the RTCC to a battery supply when Vdd is removed. The family also includes a 480 segment LCD Driver with 60 segment x 8 common drive capability. Future devices with the 8-Common and 1/3 biasing will be supported on this demonstration board.
