RS Components<\/a> (RS) the global distributor for engineers, announced availability of the new MPLAB ICD 4 in-circuit debugger from Microchip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The MPLAB ICD 4<\/a> is an In-Circuit programming and Debugging (ICD) development tool for PIC\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> microcontrollers, including the latest PIC32C MCUs, and Microchip\u2019s portfolio of dsPIC\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> digital signal controllers, via the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE).<\/p>\n

This latest version of the MPLAB ICD includes not only all the features of the ICD 3 debugger, including support for all the headers of the ICD 3, but also delivers enhanced capabilities such as higher speed via a faster processor and increased RAM.<\/p>\n

The MPLAB ICD 4\u2019s significant improvement in speed is accomplished through a 32-bit MCU running at 300 MHz. Faster processing, together with an increased buffer memory of 2 MB, results in a product that is up to twice as fast as its predecessor.<\/p>\n

The MPLAB ICD 4 is housed in a durable black case that is shaped like an ice-hockey-puck.<\/p>\n

The case has a brushed aluminium top that also includes an LED light strip to show the device\u2019s debugging status.<\/p>\n

Major features of the new ICD 4 include: a wide target voltage range, from 1.2 to 5.5V; an optional 1A external power supply; a selectable pull up\/pull down option to the target interface; data-integrity check; programmable adjustment of debugging speed for optimised programming; and JTAG debugging capability.<\/p>\n

In addition to the MPLAB ICD 4 in-circuit debugger module, the kit includes a USB cable, a 6-inch RJ-11 modular cable and an interface test module.<\/p>\n

The MPLAB ICD is connected to a PC via a high-speed USB 3.0-compatible interface and to the target via the RJ-11 connector, which is also compatible with the MPLAB ICD 3 and the MPLAB REAL ICE\u2122 systems.<\/p>\n

Supporting Windows, OSX and Linux operating systems, the MPLAB X IDE has a powerful and easy-to-use graphical user interface, simplifying designs for customers when they migrate from one PIC microcontroller to another.<\/p>\n

The Microchip MPLAB ICD 4 in-circuit debugger is now available from RS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
