MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger Features Faster Programming, a Wider
Voltage Range, and Improved Interface Options
How much time do you spend debugging your projects? If you are like most
design engineers, this task probably consumes a significant portion of your
development time. You also most likely rely heavily on the tools that you use
to help you meet perennially tight deadlines to get your product to market
ahead of the competition. To overcome these challenges, the programming
and debugging tool that you choose should offer the features and performance
necessary to enhance your development process, reduce your waiting time,
and improve your productivity. If your designs incorporate a PIC microcontroller
(MCU) or dsPIC Digital Signal Controller (DSC), chances are one of the tools
that you have been using for the past several years has been our popular PICkit
3 In-Circuit Debugger. However, there's now a better and faster programming
and debugging hero in town to support your development of newer and more
demanding projects.
At Embedded World 2018, Microchip introduced the MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit
Debugger (PG164140). Offered at the same low price as its predecessor, this
updated tool delivers five times faster programming, a wider voltage range
(1.2–5.0V), improved USB connectivity, and more debugging interface options.
In addition to supporting PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs, the MPLAB PICkit 4
debugger also supports the CEC1702 family of hardware cryptography-enabled
devices. It is an ideal solution for 8-bit designs, but it is also perfectly suited
for 16- and 32-bit development. This is due, in part, to the on-board 300MHz,
