PICKIT 3 PIC In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer | High-Speed USB | Offline Burning Tool

The PICKIT 3 PIC High Download Speed Debugger is an essential and reliable tool for developing, debugging, and programming Microchip's entire portfolio of PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers. Utilizing the robust full-speed USB interface, it offers a connection that is significantly more stable and faster compared to older models like the ICD2, ensuring smooth and efficient development cycles.

This tool is designed for both the development bench and product batch processes, featuring a powerful Offline Burning Function that allows you to program devices without a host PC. The programmer's inner voltage can be controlled directly via the MPLAB IDE, giving you full control over the 1.8V to 5V target voltage range. The full patch design ensures superior quality and stability through reflow soldering processing.

The PICKIT 3 is fully compatible with the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the enhanced version (PICKIT 3.5) begins support for the Windows 7 system and newer. It includes robust technical features like a built-in over-voltage/short circuit monitor, Diagnostic LEDs (Power, Active, Status), and the ability to erase all memory types with verification. It's the cost-effective solution for real-time debugging, allowing you to freeze peripherals at breakpoints for in-depth analysis.

Key Features:

• High-Speed USB: Full-speed USB (12 Mbit/s) connection to the host PC, offering better stability than ICD2.
• Offline Programming: Supports Offline Burning Function for product batch programming without a PC.
• Real-Time Debugging: Real-time execution and the ability to freeze peripherals at breakpoint for thorough code analysis.
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports low voltage operation from 1.8V to 5V (controlled via MPLAB IDE).
• Safety Features: Built-in over-voltage/short circuit monitor for device and target protection.
• Full Memory Control: Read/write program and data memory, and erase all memory types (EEPROM, ID, configuration, and program) with verification.
• Enhanced Build: Full patch design with reflow soldering for more stable quality.
• Diagnostic LEDs: Clear indicators for Power, Active, and Status.
