Low-Cost PIC Development Tool Increases Performance, Powers the Target Directly

PICkit 3 Debug Express is the latest version of Microchip’s low-cost development tool for 8- and 16-bit PIC® and dsPIC®MCUs, featuring the upgraded PICkit 3 debugger/programmer as well as a demo board populated with a 44-pin PIC18F45K20MCU.

The debugger/programmer is connected to the host PC using a full-speed USB interface. When connected to the target via the 6-pin ICSP connector common to Microchip MPLAB tools, it also powers the board directly thereby saving an external power supply.

The kit allows engineers to debug designs with minimal additional hardware required, and also saves expensive sockets or adapters. As well as supporting design and development, the kit can be used to programme or re-programme production and post-production models.

Also included in PICkit 3 Debug Express are the MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and a version of the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18 MCUs. Both are provided free of charge.
