In-Circuit Emulators and Debuggers

Microchip offers three universal debuggers. They share

design platforms, support all microcontroller and DSC

families, are USB-powered and fully integrated with MPLAB

IDE. MPLAB ICD 3 offers debugging and hardware features

that would satisfy the needs of most users. PICkit™ 3

Debugger/Programmer is the economical choice when

basic debugging functions are desired. MPLAB REAL ICE

emulator offers advanced features usually available only

on expensive and high-end emulators, like data capture,

trace, logic triggers and high-speed debugging up to 10

feet. Both MPLAB REAL ICE and MPLAB ICD 3 can be used

as programmers in a production environment.

MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger

System is Microchip's most cost

effective high-speed hardware debugger/

programmer for Microchip Flash

Digital Signal Controller (DSC) and

microcontroller (MCU) devices. It debugs and programs

PIC Flash microcontrollers and dsPIC DSCs with the

powerful, yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of MPLAB

Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB

ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger probe is connected to the design

engineer's PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is

connected to the target with a connector compatible with

the MPLAB REAL ICE systems (RJ-11).

unit can provide power to a target (up to 100 ma).

the MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is powered by the

USB port, so an external power adapter is not required.

MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is CE and RoHS-

MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator

System is Microchip’s next generation

high speed emulator for Microchip

Flash DSC and MCU devices. It debugs

and programs PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers with

the easy-to-use but powerful graphical user interface of

the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE),

included with each kit. The MPLAB REAL ICE probe is

connected to the design engineer's PC using a high-speed

USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target with

either a connector compatible with the popular MPLAB ICD

3 system (RJ11) or with the high speed, noise tolerant, low

voltage differential signal (LVDS) interconnection (CAT5).

MPLAB REAL ICE is field upgradeable through future

firmware downloads in MPLAB IDE. In upcoming releases

of MPLAB IDE, new devices will be supported, and new

features added.
