3 System Power Supply Control Emulation with the PIC16F15244 Microcontroller

To demonstrate the system power supply control application, two PIC16F15244 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kits are used: one acts as the host and the other as the client. The host (referred to from this point as the “process computer”) emulates the Raspberry Pi-based SBC functionality. The client (referred to as the “supply control module”) turns the regulator ON or OFF; this is emulated by the on-board LED.

Refer to Section Appendix: System Power Supply Control for the Raspberry Pi® Application for an implementation and demonstration based on a Raspberry Pi board.
