Required Debug Headers

HV devices cannot be powered from debug tool
Do not select in MPLAB X IDE to power the target (debug header) from the debug tool
(if it supports powering the target) when using shunt regulator (HV) devices since this
will also cause the shunt to draw excessive current.
DETERMINING DAMAGE
A damaged header will cause MPLAB X IDE to report a device ID of 0. However, there
are other issues that can cause the device ID to report as 0. Consult your debug tool
documentation on troubleshooting to identify the problem. If you believe you have a
damaged header, contact Microchip technical support at http://support.microchip.com.
Header Limitations
Sometimes a header device (-ICE/-ICD) has operational issues or errata. To determine
if a device on a header has limitations, see your hardware tool documentation.
Header Dimensions
The figure below lists the dimensions for the debug header. Dimensions are design
values in inches.
If the length and/or width of the debug header is too large a footprint for the target
board, consider using stand-offs, transition sockets or other extenders in the header
connection socket to raise the header above the target.
