Product Information

The MCU CARD 2 for PIC PIC18F85K22 is a microcontroller unit card designed for use with PIC microcontrollers. It utilizes the 8th Generation PIC architecture, providing 32KB of MCU memory. Manufactured by Microchip, this MCU card features 80 pins and includes 20480 bytes of RAM. It operates at a supply voltage of 3.3V or 5V.

PID: MIKROE-4030
MCU Card is a standardized add-on board, which allows very simple installation and replacement of the microcontroller unit (MCU) on a development board equipped with the MCU Card socket. By introducing the new MCU Card standard, we have ensured the absolute compatibility between the development board and any of the supported MCUs, regardless of their pin number and compatibility. MCU Cards are equipped with two 168-pin mezzanine connectors, allowing them to support even MCUs with extremely high pin count. Their clever design allows very simple usage, following the well-established plug & play concept of the Click board™ line of product.
