devices and Microchip memory devices.
MPLAB ASM30
Microchip’s relocatable macro assembler for dsPIC30F digital signal controller devices.
MPLAB C1X
Refers to both the MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers from Microchip. MPLAB
C17 is the C compiler for PIC17CXXX devices and MPLAB C18 is the C compiler for
PIC18CXXX and PIC18FXXXX devices.
MPLAB C30
Microchip’s C compiler for dsPIC30F digital signal controller devices.
MPLAB ICD 2
Microchip’s in-circuit debugger for PIC16F87X, PIC18FXXX and dsPIC30FXXXX
devices. The ICD works with MPLAB IDE. The main component of each ICD is the
module. A complete system consists of a module, header, demo board, cables and
MPLAB IDE Software.
MPLAB ICE 2000
Microchip’s in-circuit emulator for PICmicro MCU’s that works with MPLAB IDE.
MPLAB ICE 4000
Microchip’s in-circuit emulator for dsPIC DSC’s that works with MPLAB IDE.
MPLAB IDE
Microchip’s Integrated Development Environment.
MPLAB LIB30
MPLAB LIB30 archiver/librarian is an object librarian for use with COFF object modules
created using either MPLAB ASM30 or MPLAB C30 C compiler.
MPLAB LINK30
MPLAB LINK30 is an object linker for the Microchip MPLAB ASM30 assembler and the
Microchip MPLAB C30 C compiler.
MPLAB PM3
Microchip’s production device programmer that works with MPLAB IDE in support of
PICmicro MCU devices. It can be used with MPLAB IDE or as a stand-alone unit.
MPLAB SIM
Microchip’s simulator that works with MPLAB IDE in support of PICmicro MCU devices.
MPLAB SIM30
Microchip’s simulator that works with MPLAB IDE in support of dsPIC DSC devices.
MPLIB Object Librarian
MPLIB librarian is an object librarian for use with COFF object modules created using
either MPASM assembler (mpasm or mpasmwin v2.0) or MPLAB C1X C compilers.
MPLINK Object Linker
MPLINK linker is an object linker for the Microchip MPASM assembler and the
Microchip MPLAB C17 or C18 C compilers. MPLINK linker also may be used with the
Microchip MPLIB librarian. MPLINK linker is designed to be used with MPLAB IDE,
though it does not have to be.
