Safety:
• Receive feedback from debugger when external power supply is needed for target.
• Supports target supply voltages from 1.2V to 5.5V.
• Safely power up to 1A with the PoE Power Supply or a PC capable of providing 3A on the USB
Type-C
®
connector.
• Protection circuits are added to the probe drivers to guard from power surges from the target.
• V
DD
and V
PP
voltage monitors protect against overvoltage conditions/all lines have over-current
protection.
• Power pins are physically isolated until voltage is determined to be safe for connection,
programmable resistor value, and direction (pull-up, pull-down, or nonexistent).
• Controlled programming speed provides exibility to overcome target board design issues.
• CE and RoHS compliant (conforms to industry standards).
2.2 Components
The components of the MPLAB ICD 5 In-Circuit Debugger kit box are:
