2.2 MPLAB Snap In-Circuit Debugger Advantages

The MPLAB Snap In-Circuit Debugger provides the following advantages.

Features/Capabilities:

• Connects to computer via high-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbits/s) cable (not included)
• An 8-pin SIL programming connector and the option to use various interfaces
• Programs devices using MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IPE
• Works with many Microchip PIC, dsPIC, AVR, or DSC devices, including 32-bit microcontrollers such as SAM, CEC and PIC32 devices (refer to the device support list found on your PC, for example, C:\Program Files (X86)\Microchip\ MPLABX\vx.xx\docs\Device Support.htm, where vx.xx is the version of MPLAB X IDE)
• Supports 4-wire JTAG, Serial Wire Debug, UPDI, PDI, SPI programming, debugWIRE and TPI programming
• Backward compatibility for demo boards and target systems using 2-wire JTAG and ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming)
• Supports multiple hardware and software breakpoints, stopwatch and source code file debugging
• Debugs your application on your own hardware in real time
• Sets breakpoints based on internal events
• Debugs at full target MCU speed
• Configures pin drivers
• Adds new device support and features by installing the latest version of MPLAB X IDE (available as a free download at http://www.microchip.com/mplabx/)
• Indicates debugger status via the Active and Status LEDs

Performance/Speed:

• No firmware download delays incurred when switching devices
• 32-bit microcontroller using an Arm^® Cortex^®-M7 core running at 300 MHz

Safety:

• RoHS, CE and China E compliant
• Supports target supply voltages from 1.2V to 5.0V +/-10%
