Application Notes
The application notes listed here illustrate
capabilities of the TICkit products and demonstrate new ideas and techniques. Protean Logic Inc. cannot
ensure the accuracy of the information in these files. If you find an
inaccuracy, please email us and let us know. Take special notice of the
version of TICkit being used in the examples relative to the version you have.
The TICkit 63 and TICkit 74 are virtually identical at their core with the
TICkit 74 simply having more I/O and 8 bit A/D capabilities. Therefore, most
examples given for the TICkit 63 will work on the TICkit 74 with little or no
modification. The TICkit 62 is a subset of the TICkit 63/74, therefore most
examples for the 62 will also work on the TICkit 63/74. However, superior
capabilities of the 63 and 74 may make some methods utilized in the 62
irrelevant. Most of the examples for the older TICkit 57* will work with little or no
modification on the TICkit 62 and the new TICkit 63, however, the TICkit 57
has an entirely different pin-out and lacks many of the capabilities of the
newer processors..
*(Note: TICkit 57's have been discontinued as
of 1/10/00. See our Archive
for 57 information)
The application notes are summarized in several
ways. Files may appear more than once on these lists. The files are PDF files
which are viewable using Adobe's Acrobat reader. There may be links to ZIP
files which contain, PCB layouts, instruction code etc. The schematic and/or
Printed Circuit Layout are all in Protel, Inc's
EasyTrax format. Also, keep in mind that any computer code contained in the
notes can be cut and pasted into the TICkit IDE for easy experimentation.
