Chapter 13. Emulator Accessories
13.1 INTRODUCTION
The MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator has several different accessories to aid in
different debugging conditions.
13.2 HIGHLIGHTS
This chapter discusses:
• High-Speed/LVDS Communication Hardware (Performance Pak)
• MPLAB REAL ICE Isolator Unit (Opto-Isolator)
• MPLAB REAL ICE JTAG Adaptor Board
• Other Accessories
13.3 HIGH-SPEED/LVDS COMMUNICATION HARDWARE (PERFORMANCE PAK)
For high-speed/LVDS communication with a target (Section 3.4.2 “High-Speed/LVDS
Communication (Performance Pak)”), use the Performance Pak (AC244002).
• High-Speed Driver Board
• High-Speed Receiver Board
• LVDS Cables and Target Pinout
To use this type of communication with a debug header, you will need a device-specific
Processor Pak, which includes an 8-pin connector debug header containing the
desired ICE/ICD device and a standard adapter board (8-pin to 6-pin connection.)
For more on available debug headers, see the “Processor Extension Pak and
Header Specification (DS51292)” in “Recommended Reading”.
Note: You will not need the standard adapter board for high-speed communica-
tions. Instead, you will plug the 8-pin connector end of the high-speed
receiver board directly into the 8-pin connector of the debug header.
