ICSP Pins
The PGECx and PGEDx pins are used for In-Circuit 
Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging 
purposes. It is recommended to keep the trace length 
between the ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the 
device as short as possible. If the ICSP connector is 
expected to experience an ESD event, a series resistor 
is recommended with a value in the range of a few tens 
of Ohms, not to exceed 100 Ohms. 
Pull-up resistors, series diodes, and capacitors on the 
PGECx and PGEDx pins are not recommended as they 
will interfere with the programmer/debugger 
communications to the device. If such discrete 
components are an application requirement, they 
should be removed from the circuit during 
programming and debugging. Alternatively, refer to the 
AC/DC characteristics and timing requirements 
information in the respective device Flash 
programming specification for information on 
capacitive loading limits and pin input voltage high (V
IH
and input low (V
IL
) requirements.
Ensure that the “Communication Channel Select” (i.e., 
PGECx/PGEDx pins) programmed into the device 
matches the physical connections for the ICSP to 
MPLAB
®
 ICD 3 or MPLAB REAL ICE™.
For more information on ICD 3 and REAL ICE 
connection requirements, refer to the following 
documents that are available on the Microchip web 
site.

External Oscillator Pins
Many DSCs have options for at least two oscillators: a 
high-frequency primary oscillator and a low-frequency 
secondary oscillator (refer to 
 for details). 
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same 
side of the board as the device. Also, place the 
oscillator circuit close to the respective oscillator pins, 
not exceeding one-half inch (12 
mm) distance 
between them. The load capacitors should be placed 
next to the oscillator itself, on the same side of the 
board. Use a grounded copper pour around the 
oscillator circuit to isolate them from surrounding 
circuits. The grounded copper pour should be routed 
directly to the MCU ground. Do not run any signal 
traces or power traces inside the ground pour. Also, if 
using a two-sided board, avoid any traces on the 
other side of the board where the crystal is placed. A 
suggested layout is shown in 
Recommendations for crystals and ceramic 
resonators are provided in 
respectively.
