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/LINK30/LIB30
Previous names for Microchip’s relocatable macro assembler, object linker and object
archiver/librarian supporting 16-bit devices (dsPIC30F/33F DSCs and PIC24H/F
MCUs.)
MPLAB C17/C18/C30
Previous names for various C compilers from Microchip. MPLAB C17 supports
PIC17CXXX devices, MPLAB C18 supports PIC18CXXX and PIC18FXXXX devices,
and MPLAB C30 supports dsPIC30F/33F DSCs and PIC24H/F MCUs.
MPLAB Language Tool for Device
Microchip’s C compilers, assemblers and linkers for specified devices. Select the type
of language tool based on the device you will be using for your application, e.g., if you
will be creating C code on a PIC18 MCU, select the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18
MCUs.
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 ICE 2000/4000
Not recommended for new designs. See the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit
emulator.
Microchip’s in-circuit emulators that work with MPLAB IDE. MPLAB ICE 2000 supports
8-bit PIC MCUs. 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 PM3
A device programmer from Microchip. Programs PIC18 microcontrollers and dsPIC
digital signal controllers. Can be used with MPLAB IDE or stand-alone. Will obsolete
PRO MATE II.
MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator
Microchip’s in-circuit emulators that works with MPLAB IDE. The MPLAB REAL ICE
emulator 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.
