Discontinued ASIX products

Obsolete products which were already discontinued and the recommended replacements.

Emulators

DISCONTINUED! MU Alpha BREAKTHRU PRODUCT: Fully featured, extremely low cost emulator for the PIC16F84/84A, PIC12C508A/509A and PIC16C54C/56A/58B (limited to 1 Kword of program memory).

MU Beta BREAKTHRU PRODUCT: Fully featured, very low cost emulator for the most popular mid-range and low-end PIC® MCUs in 6 to 18-pin packages (such as PIC12C5xx, 12F6xx, 16C5x, 16C55x, 16C62x, 16C71x, 16F84A, 16F62x, 16F630/676, 10F2xx)

Programmers

DISCONTINUED! Recommended replacement: PRESTO PICCOLO Extremely low cost development programmer for Microchip PIC® MCUs with Flash memory and 18 pins. Larger devices (with 28 and 40 pins) can be programmed using the built-in ICSP connector and cable.

DISCONTINUED! Recommended replacement: PRESTO PICQUICK Very fast, reliable and cost effective development programmer for all Microchip PIC® MCUs and Microchip serial E2PROMs. It has a built-in In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) connector which allows for programming the devices already assembled on the PCB.

DISCONTINUED! Recommended replacement: PRESTO PICCOLO GRANDE Very low cost development programmer for Microchip PIC® MCUs with Flash memory in 8-pin, 18-pin and 40-pin packages. These devices can be also programmed using the built-in ICSP connector and cable.

DISCONTINUED! Recommended replacement: PRESTO CAPR-PI Very low cost ICSP development programmer for Microchip PIC® MCUs with Flash memory, powered by target application 5 V power supply.

Debugging Tools

DISCONTINUED! Recommended replacement: SIGMA (with software INSIDER) INSIDER Surprisingly useful low cost tool for firmware development support, capable to monitor 4/8/12/16 bit data (such as register contents, current program position, ...) by adding a simple code snippet to your source and using two or three device pins. Its usage is not limited only to MCUs: INSIDER can also be used to debug applications based on programmable gate arrays (FPGA).

Development Boards

DISCONTINUED! PVK40 Feature rich development board for the PIC® Flash MCUs - PIC16Fxx, PIC18Fxx and now also for Atmel AVR. Complete with two potentiometers, photoresistor, microphone, support for three types of serial EEPROMs (I2C - 24xx, MicroWire - 93xx, SPI - 25xx), buzzer, LED display, LED, LED bargraph, LCD display support, 8 pushbuttons, IR transmitter and receiver, RS232 converter, socket for UMS3 (USB-to-serial module). Built-in support for In-Circuit Serial Programming and monitoring (SIGMA).

DISCONTINUED! EduKitBeta MU Beta controlled educational board. It comes equipped with four analog channels (A/D converter, analog comparator), two I2C devices (serial EEPROM and thermometer), serially controlled LED display, LED, two pushbuttons, RS232 converter (UART), buzzer (PWM).

DISCONTINUED! ProtoKit84 MU Beta controlled PIC16F84A prototype board with programmer.
