Chapter 2. MCP6S22 PGA PICtail Demo Board
The MCP6S22 PGA PICtail Demo Board is designed to demonstrate Microchip’s family
of Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs) and uses the two-channel MCP6S22 PGA
device. An optical sensor circuit and potentiometer are used as voltage sources to the
PGA input channels. This demo board can be used to demonstrate firmware develop-
ment to program the PGA gains and channels using the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit.
In addition, the PGA gains and channels can be selected using the user interface DIP
switch. A PICmicro
to user configuration. This microcontroller also measures the PGA output voltage using
a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), with the measured data being transferred
to a Personal Computer (PC) using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The Pickit
1 Flash Starter Kit software is used as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is used to
display the data on the PC.
This board is designed to evaluate the PGA with minimum PCB trace-induced noise or
crosstalk. It uses a four-layer board with solid ground and power layers. The placement
of each trace has been carefully considered so that the user can evaluate the PGA over
a wide frequency range.
The MCP6S22 PGA PICtail Demo Board has the following features:
• Demonstration of the MCP6S22 PGA
• 13-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with SPI™ interface
• USB PIC16C745 microcontroller
• An optical sensor circuit connected to the PGA
• An adjustable voltage source using a thumb-wheel potentiometer connected to
• Four-layer PCB with separate ground and power supply planes for noise immunity
The MCP6S22 PGA PICtail Demo Board is used for evaluation and demonstration of
the PGA’s features. A block diagram of the demo board layout is shown in Figure 2-1.
The following procedure describes how to operate this demo board.
1. Install and run the GUI from the PC.
2. Connect the demo board to a PC using a USB cable.
3. Plug the jumpers for JP
4. The PGA output voltage will be graphically displayed on the PC.
