Glossary
Microprocessor Mode
One of the possible program memory configurations of PIC17 and PIC18 microcon-
trollers. In microprocessor mode, the on-chip program memory is not used. The entire
program memory is mapped externally.
Mnemonics
Text instructions that can be translated directly into machine code. Also referred to as
opcodes.
MPASM™ Assembler
Microchip Technology’s relocatable macro assembler for PIC microcontroller devices,
KeeLoq^® devices and Microchip memory devices.
MPLAB ASM30
Microchip’s relocatable macro assembler for dsPIC digital signal controller and PIC24
PIC devices.
MPLAB C Compilers
Refers to the MPLAB C C compilers from Microchip:
• MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18 MCU Devices (formerly MPLAB C18)
• MPLAB C Compiler for dsPIC Digital Signal Controller and PIC24 PIC Devices
(formerly MPLAB C30)
• MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32MX MCU’s (formerly MPLAB C32)
MPLAB ICD 2
Microchip’s in-circuit debugger that works with MPLAB IDE. The ICD supports Flash
devices with built-in debug circuitry. The main component of each ICD is the pod. A
complete system consists of a pod, header board (with a device-ICD), target board,
cables, and MPLAB IDE software.
MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger
Microchip’s in-circuit debuggers that works with MPLAB IDE. The MPLAB ICD 3
debugger supports PIC18F and PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs. The main component
of each ICE is the pod. A complete system consists of a pod, a driver (and potentially
a receiver) card, cables, and MPLAB IDE software.
MPLAB ICE 2000
Microchip’s in-circuit debugger that works with MPLAB IDE. MPLAB ICE 2000 supports
8-bit PIC MCUs. The main component of each ICE is the pod. A complete system con-
sists of a pod, processor module, cables, and MPLAB IDE software.
MPLAB ICE 4000
Not recommended for new designs. See the MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger.
Microchip’s in-circuit debugger that works with MPLAB IDE. MPLAB ICE 4000 supports
PIC18F and PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs. The main component of each ICE is the
pod. A complete system consists of a pod, processor module, cables, and MPLAB IDE
software.
MPLAB IDE
Microchip’s Integrated Development Environment.
MPLAB LIB30
MPLAB LIB30 archiver/librarian is an object librarian for use with object modules
created using either MPLAB ASM30 or MPLAB C30 C compiler.
MPLAB LINK30
MPLAB LINK30 is an object linker for the Microchip MPLAB ASM30 assembler and the
Microchip MPLAB C30 C compiler.
