最受关注的微控制器往往是最新的32位ARM全功能产品。
虽然这些是最具吸引力和令人兴奋的，但最大的市场仍然是8位微控制器，比例为3：1。
这意味着8位MCU的应用程序更加丰富，而且（大多数人都很惊讶）在更多终端产品中使用。
8位MCU在编程时往往具有较少的开销，并且不需要完整的操作系统来运行。
为了支持8位应用的开发人员，Microchip开发了Curiosity HPC（高引脚数）开发板。
该电路板允许对Microchip的传统8位PIC MCU进行编程和开发。
该板支持DIP封装中的40引脚和28引脚MCU。
它基本上打破了MCU上的所有引脚，使您可以轻松连接，而无需使用外部组件布置面包板。
板上有一个USB接口，可通过MPLAB（Microchip的IDE）进行编程。
最重要的是，好奇号HPC板可以连接两个MikroElektronika Click板，如果你还记得上一集的新产品发现，可以简化物联网，传感和许多其他应用的开发。
如果您正在寻找更多信息，我们Digi-Key工程团队的Scott有一篇题为“Microchip Curiosity HPC开发板”的博客文章，专门介绍该板。
我想向您介绍的另一个产品是ADI公司的ADALM-PLUTO主动学习模块。
ADALM-PLUTO是一款收发器，具有325 MHz至3.8 GHz的超宽带宽。
该平台使用具有28K逻辑单元的FPGA和能够运行Linux的ARM Cortex-A9处理器。
ADALM-PLUTO是向电子工程专业学生和爱好者介绍软件无线电（SDR），射频（RF）和无线通信基础知识的绝佳工具。
斯科特再次在他的博客文章“Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO”中进一步详细介绍。

以下为原文

The most talked about microcontrollers tend to be the latest 32-bit ARM full-featured products. While these are the most attractive and exciting, the biggest market still is 8-bit microcontrollers at a 3-to-1 ratio. What this means is the applications for 8-bit MCUs are much more plentiful and (to most people’s surprise) utilized in more end products. The 8-bit MCUs tend to have less overhead in programming and don’t require a full-fledged operating system to function.
To support developers of 8-bit applications, Microchip has produced the Curiosity HPC (High Pin Count) development board. This board allows for the programming and development of traditional 8-bit PIC MCUs from Microchip. The board supports 40-pin as well as 28-pin MCUs in a DIP package. It essentially breaks out all of the pins on the MCU, allowing you to easily interface without having to layout a breadboard with external components. There is a USB interface on the board for programming with MPLAB (Microchip’s IDE). On top of that, the Curiosity HPC board has connections for two MikroElektronika Click boards which, if you remember from a previous episode of New Product Discoveries, streamline development for IoT, sensing, and many other applications. Scott from our Engineering team at Digi-Key has a blog post entitled “Microchip Curiosity HPC Development Board” devoted to the board if you are looking for more information.
The other product I want to introduce to you is the ADALM-PLUTO Active Learning Module from Analog Devices. The ADALM-PLUTO is a transceiver with an extraordinarily wide bandwidth of 325 MHz to 3.8 GHz. This platform uses an FPGA with 28K logic cells and an ARM Cortex-A9 processor capable of running Linux. The ADALM-PLUTO is a great tool for introducing electronic engineering students and enthusiasts to Software-Defined Radio (SDR), Radio Frequency (RF), and Wireless Communication fundamentals. Again, Scott goes in to further detail in his blog post, “Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO”.
