The MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger system provides the following advantages:
Features/Capabilities:
- Connects to computer via high-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbits/s)
cable.
- Comes with a standard Microchip debugging connector (RJ-11) and has
the option to use JTAG.
- Programs devices using MPLAB X
IDE or
MPLAB IPE.
- Supports multiple 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/).
- Controls brightness of LEDs.
- Includes a test module that can test all communications.
- 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.
- A buffer memory of 2 MB.
Safety:
- Receive feedback from debugger when external power supply is needed
for target.
- Supports target supply voltages from 1.2V to 5.5V.
- 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 are physically isolated until voltage is
determined to be safe for connection, programmable resistor value, and 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.
