Software and Hardware Solutions for the 32-bit Designer
Summary
The MPLAB REAL ICE
In-Circuit Emulator
System is Microchip’s
high-speed emulator for
Microchip Flash DSC and
MCU devices. It debugs
and programs PIC MCUs
and dsPIC DSCs with the
easy-to-use but powerful
graphical user interface of the MPLAB X IDE, included with
each kit.
The MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator probe is
connected to the design engineer’s PC using a high-speed
USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target with
either a connector compatible with the popular MPLAB ICD
system (RJ11) or with the high-speed, noise-tolerant, low-
voltage differential signal (LVDS) interconnection (CAT5).

Summary
The MPLAB ICD 3
In-Circuit Debugger
System is Microchip’s
most cost-effective
high-speed hardware
debugger/programmer
for its Flash DSC
and MCU devices. It
debugs and programs
PIC MCUs and
dsPIC DSCs with the
powerful yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of the
MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The MPLAB ICD In-Circuit Debugger probe is connected
to the design engineer’s PC using a high-speed USB 2.0
interface and is connected to the target with a connector
compatible with the MPLAB ICD or MPLAB REAL ICE
In-Circuit Emulator systems (RJ-11). MPLAB ICD supports
all emulation headers.
MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger (DV164035)
Key Features

■ Ruggedized probe interface
■ Microchip standard connectivity
■ Portable, USB-powered and RoHS-Compliant
■ High speed programming
■ Low voltage emulation
■ Test interface module
■ Ease of maintenance and feature upgrade
■ Low cost
■ Powerful debugging
