The DM164123 is a PICDEM system management demo board and training tool designed for those individuals interested in system integration and design of a variety of applications. The board comes populated with the popular PIC16F886 MCU which provides a wide variety of integrated peripherals ideally suited for these tasks. System integration refers to the consolidation of multiple systems within a unified design. The PICDEM system management board provides an I2C communications bus, typically found in applications such as personal computers or rack mount servers. The bus connects to multiple devices to monitor and record the health and status of the system. The PICDEM system management board integrates the functions of a dedicated Real time Clock, serial EEPROM, thermal management controller and analog to digital converter using a single PIC microcontroller. In conjunction with the PICkit serial analyser, communication to the emulated devices on the bus can be managed and monitored.
