3.4.2 Power
The Power option is available only when a tool is connected. From the Advanced Mode dialog, click Power to display the available settings. Depending on the tool and the device, only the options available for that combination display.
Power options will vary for different device families and the tool selected. All of the settings and parameters are similar to MPLAB X IDE.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Note: The options available will vary depending on the device and too selected. The following may not show every possible option. | |
| Voltage Options | |
| VDD Min/Max | This voltage is used by the programmer to verify memory. The value should be the minimum/maximum voltage for the designated circuit. The default is the device's maximum voltage value. |
| VDD Nom | The default value depends on the device. For example, PIC32 has 3.3V as default VDD Nom. |
| VPP | This is the voltage used to bring the device into a programming mode. Although this is dependent on the device's programming specification, it can be changed. |
| VDD App | This is the voltage used by the programmer to verify Flash memory. The default is the device's nominal voltage value. |
| Power target circuit from (tool) | This setting enables the tool to power the target. |
| Voltage Level | Set the level you want to use. |
| Programming Options | |
| Programming mode entry | Select “Use low voltage programming mode entry” or “Use high voltage programming mode entry.” |
| Programming Method | Select either “Apply Vdd before Vpp” or “Apply Vpp before Vdd.” |
| Reset to defaults | Returns voltages to their default settings. |
