Microchip Technology MPLAB® ICD 5 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer Kit
Microchip Technology MPLAB® ICD 5 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer Kit (DV164055) is a fast, feature-rich emulation and programming tool for Microchip microcontrollers (MCUs), including PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR®, and SAM (Arm®) devices. The MPLAB ICD 5 debugs and programs with a powerful, easy-to-use MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Graphical User Interface (GUI). Connect to a PC via a high-speed USB 2.0 interface or Ethernet. Utilizing a flat cable, DV164055 connects to targets with the debugger at one end and the target device at the other. The debugger communicates with devices with built-in emulation circuitry instead of special debugger chips and executes code like an actual device. Accessible interactively, all features of the target device can be set and modified by the MPLAB X IDE interface.
Features
- Connects to a computer via high-speed USB 2.0 or Ethernet
- Debugs at full speed
- Monitors internal file registers
- Configures pin drivers
- Connects to targets using an RJ11 or RJ45 modular cable, also connects to legacy targets
- Supports multiple breakpoints, stopwatch, and source code file debugging
- Programs devices using MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IPE
- Debugs application on user’s hardware in real time
- Sets breakpoints based on internal events
- Field-upgradeable through a firmware download
- Adds device support and features by installing the latest version of the device and tool packs, available as a free download at www.microchip.com/mplabx/
- 0 to +70°C operating temperature range
- Performance/speed
- No firmware download delays are incurred when switching devices
- 32-bit MCU running at 300MHz with 384K bytes of RAM
- 4MB buffer memory
- Safety
- Receive feedback from the debugger when the external power supply is needed for the target
- Supports target supply voltages from 1.2V to 5.5V
- Safely power up to 1A with the PoE Power Supply or a PC capable of providing 3A on the USB Type-C® connector
- Protection circuits are added to the probe drivers to guard against power surges from the target
- VDD and VPP voltage monitors protect against overvoltage conditions, all lines have over-current protection
- Power pins are physically isolated until the voltage is determined to be safe for connection, programmable resistor value, and direction (pull-up, pull-down, or nonexistent)
- Controlled programming speed provides flexibility to overcome target board design issues
- CE and RoHS compliant
