A.14.1
The PICDEM LCD 2 board features an adjustable voltage regulator, the venerable
LM317. It is U3 on the board, and can be recognized by the SO-223 package on the
upper left side. Nearby, there is a header, J10, and two resistors, R25 and R26. R25
and R26 are used to set the output voltage of the LM317. By default, R25 = 1K and
R26 = 330R, which results in an output voltage of 5.0V.
The reason an adjustable voltage regulator is provided is so that the PICDEM LCD 2
Demonstration Board can be used with a wide range of LCD PIC microcontrollers. The
PIC18FXXJ90 family of devices tolerates a maximum V
PIC18FXX90, PIC16F91X and PIC16F946 tolerate a maximum V
adjustable voltage regulator allows a different V
and PIC18F and PIC16F LCD devices.
The switching between 3.6V and 5.5V parts is very convenient. The plug-in module
boards are populated with the R101 and R102, appropriately, according to the proces-
sor module requirement which mates with the daughter board/emulator header that
surrounds the ICE module (U1A). J10 on the PICDEM LCD 2 board is intended to con-
nect with the 3-pin header on the plug-in module. This allows the resistors, R101 and
R102, on the plug-in module to be connected in parallel to the resistors, R25 and R26.
This way V

The plug-in module is prepopulated with the values shown in Table A-22:

Now, let’s look at how to determine R101 and R102 if a different V
it is a good idea to look at the data sheet for the LM317 to understand how the voltage
is adjusted. We will not duplicate all the details here. The following equation is taken
