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 Debugger/Programmer (DV164035)
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).
■ 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.
VDD and VPP 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 firmware 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
to 5.5 volts.
■ Included with every MPLAB ICD 3 is a test module to
test I/O lines to confirm 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 IDE,
downloadable free. MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger
is field upgradeable through a firmware download from
MPLAB IDE.
■ Allows debugging with MPLAB IDE, supporting multiple
breakpoints, stopwatch, source code file debugging in
MPLAB’s editor for quick program modification/debug.
PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger (PG164130)
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 Integrated
Development Environment (IDE).
■ USB (Full speed 12 Mbits/s interface to host PC)
■ Real-time execution
■ Firmware upgradeable from PC/web download
■ Totally enclosed
■ Supports low voltage to 2.0 volts (2.0V 6.0V range)
■ Diagnostic LEDs (power, busy, error)
■ Read/write program and data memory of
microcontroller
■ Erase of program memory space with verification
■ Freeze-peripherals at breakpoint
MPLAB REAL ICE™ Emulator (DV244005)
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.
■ Real-time execution and real time trace collection
■ Stopwatch
■ Real time watch
■ Full hardware debugging: breakpoints, single-step,
variable inspect/modify
■ Logic probe inputs/outputs (8)
■ I/O Port trace and SPI trace options for high speed
upload of trace data
