Standard Probe Driver
The Standard Probe Driver uses a MPLAB 
ICD 2 type connector (RJ-11) to connect 
to the target application. Designs that
are compatible with MPLAB ICD 2 
debugging/programming are quickly 
converted to use MPLAB REAL ICE. This 
driver board is included in the MPLAB 
REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator Probe Kit 
(DV244005).
Performance Pak
The optional Performance Pak 
consists of two circuit boards (driver 
and receiver) that employ two CAT5 
cables. Debug pins are driven 
using LVDS communications, and 
additional trace connections allow 
high-speed serial trace uploads to 
the PC.
