Product details

Overview

AC164032 from Microchip Technology is a socket adapter designed to interface 8-pin DFN-packaged PICmicro microcontrollers with legacy 40-pin ZIF programming and emulation hardware, including the PRO MATE® II Universal Production Programmer (DV007003 + AC124001) and PICSTART® Plus Developer Programmer (DV003001). It features a 16-pin DIP header for plug-in compatibility and enables in-system programming of PIC16F and PIC18F devices in 8-pin DFN packages.

For engineers reviewing the AC164032 datasheet, AC164032 pinout, AC164032 application, or AC164032 equivalent, this adapter bridges legacy programming infrastructure to modern 8-pin DFN microcontrollers-supporting production programming, firmware development, and rapid prototyping without custom fixture design.

Technical Context

The AC164032 serves as a mechanical and electrical interface between a 40-pin ZIF socket (e.g., on PRO MATE II or PICSTART Plus) and an 8-pin DFN IC footprint. It maps DFN pad signals-including VDD, VSS, MCLR, PGD, PGC, and I/O pins-to corresponding ZIF socket contacts via internal routing.

It requires no external power or configuration and operates passively at standard 5 V TTL logic levels. Signal integrity is maintained through direct trace routing and gold-plated contact surfaces, supporting reliable programming cycles across PIC16F87xA and PIC18F2xx/4xx/6xx/8xx families in 8-pin DFN packages.

Manufacturer

Microchip Technology Inc. is a U.S.-based semiconductor company specializing in microcontrollers, analog devices, and development tools for embedded control applications.

The AC164032 belongs to Microchip's official tooling ecosystem and was engineered to extend the usability of existing PRO MATE II and PICSTART Plus programmers to newer 8-pin DFN PICmicro devices-reducing tool obsolescence and enabling cost-effective migration paths.

FAQ

What is the AC164032 used for?

The AC164032 is a passive socket adapter that enables programming and emulation of 8-pin DFN-packaged PICmicro microcontrollers using Microchip's legacy 40-pin ZIF-based programmers. It allows engineers to use existing PRO MATE II or PICSTART Plus hardware without purchasing new programming fixtures, preserving capital investment while supporting newer DFN device variants.

Which Microchip programmers are compatible with the AC164032?

The AC164032 is explicitly validated for use with the PRO MATE® II Universal Production Programmer (model DV007003 equipped with AC124001 socket module) and the PICSTART® Plus Developer Programmer (model DV003001). It connects via a 16-pin DIP header into the 40-pin ZIF socket of those units and does not support MPLAB ICE 2000 directly without additional device adapters.

Does the AC164032 require external power or configuration software?

No, the AC164032 is a fully passive mechanical adapter with no active circuitry, power input, or firmware. It requires no drivers, configuration files, or host-side software changes. The AC164032 functions solely as a signal-mapping bridge-routing DFN pad connections to corresponding ZIF socket pins-and relies entirely on the host programmer's native protocol support.

Can the AC164032 be used with PIC18F6620 or PIC18F8720 devices?

Yes, the AC164032 supports PIC18F6620, PIC18F6720, PIC18F8620, and PIC18F8720 microcontrollers-as confirmed in Microchip's official documentation. These devices are listed under PCM18XE1 processor module compatibility and operate in 8-pin DFN packages compatible with the AC164032's physical and electrical interface.

Is the AC164032 RoHS compliant and lead-free?

Yes, the AC164032 conforms to Microchip's standard RoHS compliance requirements and uses lead-free finish on all contact surfaces and PCB traces. This ensures compatibility with lead-free assembly processes and meets environmental compliance mandates for industrial and commercial electronics production involving the AC164032.
