PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger

Manufacturer Part No: PG164130PG164130

Order Code: 1771323 or 25R83111771323 or 25R8311

Microchip’s PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer uses in-circuit debugging logic incorporated into each chip with Flash memory to provide a low-cost hardware debugger and programmer. In-circuit debugging offers these benefits:

Low cost:

Minimum of additional hardware needed for debug

Expensive sockets or adapters are not required

The PICkit 3 can now also reprogram any PIC microcontroller with a simple push of a button.

The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC^® and dsPIC^® Flash microcontrollers at a most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to the design engineer's PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via an Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2, MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™.

PICkit 3 Features

Program up to 512K byte flash with the Programmer-to-Go

Header Information

Some 8-, 14- and 18-pin devices use small header boards with a special MCU for debugging. This special MCU has extra pins for PICkit 3 communication and therefore allows the use of all pins on the part for the application. The header board is not used or needed for programming.
