1.0 Architectural Overview
The Chameleon PIC 16-Bit or simply the “Chameleon PIC” is developed around the Microchip PIC 16-Bit
24HJ128GP502 28-Pin DIP. Figure 1.0 shows an image of the Chameleon PIC 16-Bit annotated. The Chameleon PIC
has the following hardware features:

28-Pin DIP Package version of the PIC24HJ, runs at 40 MHz.
Parallax Propeller multicore processor, 32K RAM, 32K ROM, QFP 44-Pin package running at 80 MHz per core
with 64K Byte serial EEPROM for program storage (2x required memory).
RCA Video and Audio Out Ports.
HD15 Standard VGA Out Port.
Single PS/2 Keyboard (and mouse) Port.
Single 9V DC power in with regulated output of 5.0V @ 500mA and 3.3V @ 500 mA on board to support external
peripherals and components (the PIC24 and Propeller are at 3.3V).
Removable XTALs to support faster speeds and experimenting with various reference clocks.
Expansion headers that exposes I/O, power, clocking ,etc. for both the PIC and Propeller.
USB UART built in with Mini-B connector.
6-PIN ISP (In System Programming) interface compatible with Microchip PICKit2 as well as other 3
programmers.
1 MByte of SPI FLASH storage chip that can be used as local storage or a full FAT file system.
“Break Away” experimenter prototyping board that can be snapped off for prototyping and adding extra hardware
to the Chameleon.
