Microchip’s fourth-generation in-circuit debugger
- Author:Ella Cai
- Release on:2017-08-16
Microchip has announced MPLAB ICD 4, an in-circuit programming and debugging tool for PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers.
All headers from the earlier MPLAB ICD 3 are supported, and inside is a 300MHz 32bit microcontroller.
“MPLAB ICD 4 includes all the features of the MPLAB ICD 3 debugger while a faster processor and increased buffer memory of 2Mbyte results in a product that is up to twice as fast,” said the firm.
Microchip is apparently pleased with the appearance, pointing out the durable black puck-shaped housing with a brushed aluminium top, accented with an LED light strip indicating debugging status.
Microchip ICD debugger
Features:
1.20 to 5.5V target voltage range
USB-powered
Optional 1 Amp output if fed from external power supply
Selectable pull-up/pull-down option to the target interface
Configurable interface speed
Intelligent, robust interface with fault detection and immunity
JTAG debugging
Part number if DV164045.
