3.5 VSS
The power supply ground reference, Vss, must be at the same potential as the
application circuit.
3.6 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Minimize the distance the ICSP signals must travel by placing the ICSP connector as
close to the application circuit PICmicro MCU as possible. Minimize any cable length
between the PICkit 2 Microcontroller Programmer and application circuit PICmicro
MCU. The goal is to keep the ICSP signals within the level and slew rate specifications
for successful programming.
