8-PIN SIL CONNECTOR
Debug headers with 8-pin SIL (Single In-Line) connectors are compatible with the tools
listed below.
PICkit 2 or 3 Programmer/Debug Express
The 6-pin socket of the PICkit 2 or PICkit 3 may be connected to the 8 header pins by
removing the two DAT and CLK pins. However, this may compromise future use of
these pins/functions with other tools.
FIGURE 2: 8-PIN SIL CONNECTION TO A PICKIT
MPLAB ICD 2 or 3 In-Circuit Debugger
The 6-pin modular cable attached to the MPLAB ICD 2 or MPLAB ICD 3 may be
connected to the 8 header pins through the Modular-to-SIL Adapter.
MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator
The 6-pin modular cable attached to the Standard Driver Board may be connected to
the 8 header pins through the Modular-to-SIL Adapter. No SPI trace is available with
this connection because of the loss of the DAT and CLK pins.
The 8-pin socket of the High Speed Driver Board or optional Isolation Unit may be
directly connected to the 8 header pins. Be sure to line up pin 1 on the board with pin
1 on the header.
