Microchip Technology MCP1256/7/8/9EV データシート

Microchip offers three universal debuggers. They share 

design platforms, support all microcontroller and DSC 

families, are USB-powered and fully integrated with MPLAB 

X IDE. MPLAB ICD 3 offers debugging and hardware 

features sufficient for the needs of most users. PICkit™ 3 

Debugger/Programmer is the economical choice for basic 

debugging functions. MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator 

offers advanced features—like data capture, trace, logic 

triggers and high-speed debugging up to 10 feet—usually 

available only on expensive and high-end emulators. Both 

MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator 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 In-Circuit Emulator systems (RJ-11).

   

■

MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is designed to support 

high-speed processors running at maximum speeds, 

allowing embedded engineers to debug applications on 

their own hardware in real time.

   

■

Protection circuitries are added to the probe drivers to 

guard the probe kit from power surges from the target. 

V

DD

 and V

PP

 voltage monitors protect against over-voltage 

conditions, and all lines have over-current protection. The 

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

   

■

Housed in a small (3.7" × .8") and attractive enclosure, 

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-compliant.

   

■

Fast programming allows both quick fi rmware reload 

for fast debugging and for in-circuit re-programming. 

Programming times are improved up to 15× over 

MPLAB ICD 2.

   

■

MPLAB ICD 3 supports target supply voltages 

from 2.0–5.5V.

   

■

Included with every MPLAB ICD 3 is a test module to 

test I/O lines to confi rm the unit is working properly.

   

■

Adding new device support and advanced features 

to MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is as simple 

as installing later versions of the MPLAB X IDE, 

downloadable for free. MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger 

is fi eld upgradeable through a fi rmware download from 

MPLAB X IDE.

   

■

Allows debugging with MPLAB X IDE, supporting multiple 

breakpoints, stopwatch, source code fi le debugging in 

MPLAB’s editor for quick program modifi cation/debug.

The PICkit 3 Debug Express allows debugging 

and programming of PIC Flash microcontrollers 

and dsPIC DSCs using the powerful graphical 

user interface of the MPLAB X IDE.

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 X IDE, included with each kit. 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 popular MPLAB ICD 3 system (RJ11) or with the 

high-speed, noise-tolerant, low-voltage differential signal 

(LVDS) interconnection (CAT5).
MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator is field upgradeable 

through future firmware downloads in MPLAB X IDE. In 

upcoming releases of MPLAB X IDE, new devices will be 

supported and new features added.
