PIC/dsPIC debug update boosts speed, flexibility
MPLAB ICD 4 features a faster processor and increased RAM; a wider voltage range of 1.20 to 5.5V; it supports all PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs via MPLAB X IDE. The MPLAB ICD 4’s significant improvement in speed is accomplished through a 32-bit MCU running at 300 MHz, together with an increased buffer memory of 2 MB.
The puck-shaped MPLAB ICD 4 is housed in a durable, black case with a brushed aluminum top and is has an LED light strip to indicate debugging status. The tool offers the following additional features: a selectable pull-up/pull-down option to the target interface; expanded power options; a configurable interface speed for optimised programming and debugging; and an intelligent, robust interface with fault detection and immunity. It offers JTAG debugging capability.
The MPLAB ICD 4 (DV164045) is priced at $249.95; www.microchip.com/ICD4
