The MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger system provides the following advantages:
Features/Capabilities:
- Connects to computer via high-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbits/s)
cable.
- An 8-pin SIL programming connector and the option to use various
interfaces.
- Programs devices using MPLAB X
IDE or
MPLAB IPE.
- 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.
- Monitors internal file registers.
- Debugs at full speed.
- Configures pin drivers.
- Field-upgradeable through an MPLAB X
IDE firmware download.
- Adds new device support and features by installing the latest
version of MPLAB X
IDE (available as a free download at
www.microchip.com/mplabx/).
- Indicates debugger status via the indicator light strip.
- Operates within a temperature range of 0-70 degrees Celsius.
Performance/Speed:
- More and faster memory.
- A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS).
- No firmware download delays incurred when switching devices.
- A 32-bit MCU running at 300 MHz.
Safety:
- Receive feedback from debugger when external power supply is needed
for target.
- Supports target supply voltages for low voltage program mode entry
from 1.2 to 5.0V and for high voltage program mode entry from 2.8 to 5.0V.
- Safely power up to 1A with an optional 9V DC power supply.
- Protection circuitries are added to the probe drivers to guard from
power surges from the target.
- VDD and VPP voltage monitors protect against
overvoltage conditions/all lines have over-current protection.
- Programming/debugging pins with a programmable range of resistor
values, plus direction (pull-up, pull-down, or nonexistent).
- Controlled programming speed provides flexibility to overcome
target board design issues.
- CE and RoHS compliant – conforms to industry standards.
