25.2.5 MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger
Microchip's In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB ICD, will be a powerful, low cost, run-time development
tool. This tool is based on the PICmicro
®
and dsPIC Flash devices.
The MPLAB ICD 2 will utilize the in-circuit debugging capability built into the various devices. This
feature, along with Microchip's In-Circuit Serial Programming™ protocol (ICSP™), will offer cost
effective, in-circuit debugging from the graphical user interface of MPLAB IDE. This will enable a
designer to develop and debug source code by watching variables, single-stepping and setting
break points. Running at full speed enables testing hardware in real-time. Some of its features will
include:
• Full speed operation to the range of the device
• Serial or USB PC connector
• Serial interface externally powered
• USB powered from PC interface
• Low noise power (V
PP and VDD) for use with analog and other noise sensitive applications
• Operation down to 2.0V
• Can be used as an ICD or inexpensive serial programmer
• Modular application connector as MPLAB ICD
• Limited number of breakpoints
• “Smart watch” variable windows
• Some chip resources required (RAM, program memory and 2 pins)
25.2.6 PRO MATE II Universal Device Programmer
The PRO MATE II universal device programmer will be a full-featured programmer capable of
operating in Stand-alone mode, as well as PC-hosted mode.
The PRO MATE II device programmer will have programmable V
DD and VPP supplies, which will
allow it to verify programmed memory at V
DDMIN and VDDMAX for maximum reliability when
programming requires this capability. It will have an LCD display for instructions and error
messages and keys to enter commands. Interchangeable optional socket modules will support
all package types.
In Stand-alone mode, the PRO MATE II device programmer will be able to read, verify or program
PICmicro and dsPIC30F devices. It will also be able to set code protection in this mode.
PRO MATE II features will include:
• Runs under MPLAB IDE
• Field upgradable firmware
• DOS Command Line interface for production
• Host, Safe and “Stand-alone” operation
• Automatic downloading of object file
•SQTP
SM
serialization adds an unique serial number to each device programmed
• In-Circuit Serial Programming Kit (sold separately)
• Interchangeable socket modules supporting all package options (sold separately)
Note: This product is available, but does not provide support for dsPIC30F devices at this
time. Please refer to the Microchip web site for information about product upgrades.
