MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator System is Microchip’s next
generation high-speed emulator 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 REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator 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 MPLAB ICD 2 system (RJ-11) or with the
new high-speed, noise tolerant, Low-Voltage Differential Signal
(LVDS) interconnection (CAT5).

Logic Probe For External Triggers
A logic probe is included and can be connected to the 14-pin
header on the unit. It supports 8 user-selectable input/
outputs that automatically adjust to the targeting voltage
level. The outputs can also trigger an external logic analyzer
or oscilloscope.

•
Trace Execution and Analysis
Through its high-speed communication bus, connection
schemes and trace-aware compilers, MPLAB REAL ICE
In-Circuit Emulator offers multiple ways to trace execution
and log information about running applications: real-time
watch, data capture, streaming parallel trace using device
I/O port or streaming serial trace using SPI/UART.

Portable, USB-powered and RoHS-Compliant
Housed in a small (4.7
″ w x 3.4″ d x 0.84″ h) and attractive
enclosure, the MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator is
powered by the USB port, so an external power adapter is
not required. MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator is CE and
RoHS-compliant.

Low Cost
At less than $500, the MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit
Emulator breaks the price barrier for a complete and
advanced in-circuit emulator, offering new ways to
interact with and debug applications at a fraction of the
cost of traditional emulator systems.
