PIC18LF67K40: Debug mode

Question

Does the PIC18LF67K40 work only in onchip integrated debug mode or can also in incircuit serial programming via two pins?

Hello,

I am not sure, whether I fully understood your question. However, if you connect target PIC via 5 pins: Vdd, Vss, -MCLR/Vpp, ICSPDAT and ICSPCLK to a programmer/debugger (like PICkit, ICD etc.), you will be able both program and debug the PIC.

The datasheet list the points you mentioned, but I am afraid it is just "marketing". In order to support debugging, the PIC has an on chip circuitry. Have a look at page 811 of the datasheet, it lists the possible compilers, simulators, programmers and debugger. PICkit3 or newer (please note there is a PICkit4) will work just fine. Or ICD3 (there is also ICD4 which should be OK). You will need to connect the five pins mentioned in my previous post. David
