I ordered some 3 V chips yesterday - the PIC32MX440F512 as well as
some dsPIC33 3.0 - 3.6 V chips.

1. I have a pickit2 and will be using it to power and program the
target. Question: will the pickit2 work with these 3.3 V chips or will
it zap them 5 V?

2. I'll be using a MAX233A to interface the PICs with a PC via UART.
It converts RS232 levels to 5V levels. How do I make the 5V levels
into 3 V levels so I don't fry my PICs?
