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

By PD&D Staff | August 18, 2017

Share

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
