Microchip's ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer Developers Tool

The MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer is Microchip’s fastest cost-effective debugging and programming tool for PIC Microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). This speed is provided by a 300 MHz, 32-bit MCU with 2MB of RAM and a high-speed FPGA to yield faster communications, downloads and debugging. It debugs and programs with the powerful, yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB ICD 4 development tool is connected to your PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target with a debugging connector which is also compatible with the MPLAB ICD 3 or MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator systems. The MPLAB ICD 4 debugger also works with JTAG interfaces. Features include:

Designed to support high-speed processors running at maximum speeds
Debug applications on your own hardware in real time
Protection circuitries are added to the probe drivers to guard from power surges from the target
VDD and VPP voltage monitors protect against overvoltage conditions/all lines have over-current protection
Safely power up to 1A with an optional power supply
Comes with a standard Microchip debugging connector and has the option to use JTAG
Supports all MPLAB ICD 3 headers
Housed in a durable, black case with a brushed aluminum top and accented with an LED strip to indicate debugging status
Powered by a USB port, no external power required
CE- and RoHS-compliant
Supports target supply voltages from 1.20V to 5.5V
Quick firmware reload for fast debugging/in-circuit re-programming
Includes programmable adjustment of debugging speed for optimized programming
Includes a loopback module to test debugging port and cable
Add new device support and features by installing the latest version of MPLAB X IDE, which is available as a free download
Field-upgradeable through an MPLAB X IDE firmware download
Features and performance at a fraction of the cost of comparable emulator systems
High-powered debugging with MPLAB X IDE
Supports multiple breakpoints, stopwatch and source code file debugging
Selectable pull-up/pull-down option to the target interface in MPLAB X IDE’s editor for quick program modification/debug
