Chapter 2. Hardware
This chapter describes the hardware features of the PIC32 MX470 Curiosity
Development Board.
2.1HARDWARE FEATURES
Only certain features of the development board are discussed in this section. Refer to
Figure 1-1 in Section 1.2 “Development Board Functionality and Features” for
their locations.
2.1.1Processor
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board is designed with a permanently
mounted (i.e., soldered) PIC32MX470F512H microcontroller (U9).
2.1.2Power Supply
Power can be supplied to the development board from the host PC using a Type A
male-to-mini B USB cable or by using an external +5V power supply. Jumper J8 is used
to select the voltage source for the development board. Table 2-1 provides the details
of the power supply sources available for the development board.

If the PICkit™ on-board (PKOB) debugger is connected to a host PC, it enumerates
with the host computer. Once the debugger is successfully enumerated, it turns on the
main board power supply (+3.3V and +5V) using the high side power switch
(MIC2005A) by driving the ENABLE signal high. Figure 2-1 shows the power topolo gy
for the development board.

2.1.3Programming and Debug
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board includes the PICkit on-board (PKOB)
debugger based on the PIC24FJ256GB106 USB microcontroller. In addition, it provides the option to use external debuggers, such as MPLAB REAL ICE or MPLAB ICD
3 by connecting to the In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) header, J16.
By default, the on-board debugger is connected to the programming pins (PGEC and
PGED) of the PIC32 device. To use an external debugger, remove jumper J2 to
disconnect the on-board debugger from driving the programming pins. Table 2-2
provides details of the various debuggers.

2.1.4USB Connectivity
The PIC32MX470F512H microcontroller has an integrated full-speed USB module that
enables the user to implement the USB functionality through the micro-AB USB
connector (J12). Users can connect the development board for USB functionality using
any one of these modes:
• Device Mode: Connect the host PC to the target USB connector (J12) using the
USB Type A male to micro-B male cable. Use jumper J8 to select the required
power source for the board.
• Host Mode: Connect the USB device to the target USB connector (J12) using a
USB Type A Female to micro-B male cable (this cable is not included in the kit).
Install a jumper in the J13 header to drive the V
J8 to select the power source from either the Debug USB connector or the
external 5V input.

PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board User’s Guid e
2.1.6LEDs
Four user-programmable LEDs are available on the PIC32MX470 Curiosity
Development Board, and these LEDs can be turned ON/OFF using the connected
GPIO pins. Table 2-4 provides details of the LEDs and related GPIO pins.
The RGB LEDs (LED4) ar e connect ed to the re-mappab le pins w ith an output com pare
functionality to control the color and brightness with PWM output. In the RGB LED, red
is the component of the GPIO pin RB10, green is the component of the GPIO pin RB3,
and blue is the component of the GPIO pin RB2.
A 20 MHz crystal (X2) is connected to the on-board PIC32MX470F512H microcontroller for precision clocking. The 12-Mbps USB full-speed signal rate specification
requires ±0.25% or 2500 ppm clock accuracy. Therefore, an external crystal is required
to meet the clock accuracy requirement for USB. Non-USB applications can use the
internal RC oscillators.
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board also has provision for an external
secondary 32 kHz oscillator (Y3); however, this component is not populated.
RE4
2.1.8mikroBUS™ Sockets
Two mikroBUS sockets (J5, J10) are available on the development board, and these
sockets can be used to expand the functionality using the MikroElectronika Click
adapter boards. The mikroBUS connector consists of two 1x8 female headers with SPI,
2
I
C, UART, RST, PWM, analog, interrupt lines as well as 3.3V, 5V, and GND power
lines.
The GPIO pins for the mikroBUS sockets are assigned to route, as follows:
• UART1, I2C1, SPI1 and OC1 peripheral instances to mikroBUS socket J5. The
UART1 and SPI1 peripherals are also routed to the BM64 Bluetooth 4.2 Stereo
Audio module.
• UART2, I2C2, SPI2 and OC2 peripheral instances to mikroBUS socket J10. The
UART2, I2C2, and SPI2 peripherals are also routed to the X32 audio header.
2.1.9X32 Audio Header
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board includes two X32 headers (J14, J15)
to enable a connection to the Microchip Audio Codec daughter board. Table 2-5
provides the details of the available daughter board and for additional information,
contact your local Microchip sales office.
