Datasheet

Following examples demonstrate connections
with some of the most popular supported MCUs. For
all other MCUs consult manufacturer’s datasheet. All
PIC®, dsPIC® and PIC32® MCUs use PGC, PGD and MCLR/
Vpp pins for programming. Some MCUs have several groups
of programming pins. For example dsPIC33FJ128GP710A
has three pairs of programmable pins PGED1-PGEC1, PGED2-
PGEC2 or PGED3-PGEC3 (MCLR/Vpp pin is same for all pin groups).
Whichever group of programming pins you decide to use, make sure
to connect each pin properly.
10. Examples of connection schematics
PGC - Serial programming clock
PGD - Serial programming data
MCLR/Vpp - Master clear/Programming voltage
Note: In order for microcontroller to work properly, decoupling capacitors must be
connected as close as possible to microcontroller’s VCC pins.
