MPLAB®
ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger System is Microchip’s most cost effective
high-speed hardware debugger/programmer for Microchip Flash Digital Signal
Controller (DSC) and microcontroller (MCU) devices. It debugs and programs
PIC® Flash microcontrollers and dsPIC® DSCs with the
powerful, yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment (IDE).
The MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger probe is connected to the design
engineer’s PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the
target with a connector compatible with the MPLAB ICD 2 or MPLAB REAL ICE
systems (RJ-11). MPLAB ICD 3 supports all Emulation headers.
MPLAB ICD 3 has improved speed as compared with MPLAB ICD 2. See these
videos for an
overview and for
getting started with MPLAB ICD

Features
- Real-time Debugging - MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is
designed to support high-speed processors running at maximum speeds,
allowing embedded engineers to debug applications on their own hardware
in real time.
- Ruggedized Probe Interface - Protection circuitries are added
to the probe drivers to guard the probe kit from power surges from the
target. Vdd and Vpp voltage monitors protect against over-voltage
conditions, and all lines have over-current protection. The unit can
provide power to a target (up to 100 ma).
- Microchip Standard Connectivity - MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit
Debugger employs a standard Microchip debugging connector (RJ-11).
- Portable, USB-powered and RoHS-Compliant - Housed in a
small (3.7〞 x.8〞) and attractive enclosure, the MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit
Debugger is powered by the USB port, so an external power adapter is not
required. MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is CE and RoHS-compliant.
- High Speed Programming - Fast programming allows both quick
firmware reload for fast debugging and for in-circuit re-programming.
Programming times are improved up to 15x over MPLAB ICD 2.
- Low Voltage Emulation - MPLAB ICD 3 supports target supply
voltages from 2.0 to 5.5 volts.
- Test Interface Module - Included with every MPLAB ICD 3 is a
test module to test I/O lines to confirm the unit is working properly.
- Ease of Maintenance and Feature Upgrade - Adding new device
support and advanced features to MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is as
simple as installing later versions of the MPLAB IDE, downloadable free.
MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger is field upgradeable through a firmware
download from MPLAB IDE.
- Low Cost - MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger breaks the price
barrier for a complete and advanced in-circuit debugger, offering new
ways to interact with and debug applications at a fraction of the cost
of traditional emulator systems.
- Powerful Debugging - High powered debugging with MPLAB IDE,
supporting multiple breakpoints, stopwatch, source code file debugging
in MPLAB’s editor for quick program modification/debug.
Products Supported
MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer supports most Flash PIC MCUs and
dsPIC DSCs. For the current list of supported parts, review the latest
release notes located in the MPLAB IDE and attached below. The firmware is
continually being updated to add support for new devices. As new device
firmware is released, it can be downloaded with the latest version of
MPLAB IDE, free of charge.
Notes about Headers
Some 8-, 14- and 18-pin devices use small header boards with a special MCU
for debugging. This special MCU has extra pins for MPLAB ICD 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. However, when
debugging these devices the header must be used. See the 〝Header
Specification〞 document below or see a list of current devices that use
headers
here.
