MPLAB
®
ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger
The MPLAB
ICD 2 module
is a low-cost
development
tool that
connects
between the
PC and the
designer’s
target board,
allowing direct
in-circuit
debugging of a target PICmicro
®
MCU or dsPIC
®
DSC.
Programs can be executed in real time or single step,
watch variables established, break points set, memory
read/writes accomplished and more. It can also be
used as a development programmer for the
microcontrollers.
The MPLAB ICD 2 allows debugging of selected
Flash-based Microchip microcontrollers using MPLAB
Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This
powerful graphical user interface is included with each
unit as a free tool. It is the ideal tool for embedded
control designers who do not have the budget for a
high-cost, in-circuit emulator.
Shared overhead includes: one stack level, some
general purpose file registers, a small bank of program
memory when in the Debug mode and two hardware
pins (RB6 and RB7).
The MPLAB ICD 2 is firmware-based, which allows it to
be enhanced to support future microcontroller products
and new features, extending the tool life and making it
a valued buy. Firmware downloads are available from
the Microchip web site at: www.microchip.com.
