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
Microchip’s in-circuit debugger that works with MPLAB IDE. MPLAB ICE 2000 supports
8-bit PIC MCUs. The main component of each ICE is the pod. A complete system con-
sists of a pod, processor module, cables, and MPLAB IDE software.
MPLAB ICE 4000
Not recommended for new designs. See the MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger.
Microchip’s in-circuit debugger that works with MPLAB IDE. 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 LIB30
MPLAB LIB30 archiver/librarian is an object librarian for use with 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
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 ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger
Microchip’s in-circuit debuggers that works with MPLAB IDE. The MPLAB ICD 3
debugger 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.
MPLAB SIM
Microchip’s simulator that works with MPLAB IDE in support of PIC MCU and dsPIC
DSC devices.
MPLIB™ Object Librarian
Microchip’s librarian that can work with MPLAB IDE. MPLIB librarian is an object librar-
ian for use with COFF object modules created using either MPASM assembler (mpasm
or mpasmwin v2.0) or MPLAB C17/C18 C compilers.
MPLINK™ Object Linker
MPLINK linker is an object linker for the Microchip MPASM assembler and the Micro-
chip MPLAB C17 or C18 C compilers. MPLINK linker also may be used with the Micro-
chip MPLIB librarian. MPLINK linker is designed to be used with MPLAB IDE, though
it does not have to be.
