PICkit3 Microchip Programmer with Adapter
Price in Sri Lanka

Microchip's PICkit3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer uses in-circuit debugging logic incorporated into each chip with Flash memory to provide a low-cost hardware debugger and programmer.

The MPLAB PICkit3 allows debugging and programming of PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers at a most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB PICkit3 is connected to the design engineer's PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via an Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2, MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming.

Features

• Full-speed USB support using Windows standard drivers
• Real-time execution
• Processors run at maximum speeds

• Totally enclosed
• Supports low voltage to 5 volts (1.8v to 5.0v range)
• Diagnostic LEDs (power, active, status)
• Read/write program and data memory of microcontroller
• Erase of all memory types (EEPROM, ID, configuration and program) with verification
• Freeze-peripherals at breakpoint
• Program up to 512K byte flash with the Programmer-to-Go

Basic Debugger System

The debugger system can be configured to use standard ICSP communication for both programming and debugging functions.

CAUTION: Do not change hardware connections while the PICkit3 or target is powered.

Supported Devices

Refer to MPLAB IDE v8.76, the following devices are supported:

Debugger To Target Communication

Connecting the PICkit3 to the target board through standard ICSP interface using 6-pin connector. The adapter supports most of the microcontrollers in the list above.

PICkit3 Status LEDs

The Status LEDs indicate the status of the PICkit3.

• Power (green) – Power is supplied to the PICkit3 via the USB port
• Active (blue) – The PICkit3 has connection to the PC USB port and the communication link is active
• Status:
  • Busy (yellow) – The PICkit3 is busy with a function in progress, such as programming
  • Error (red) – The PICkit3 has encountered an error

The Adapter Board

The adapter board that comes with the PICkit3 supports most of the microcontrollers in the above list. See the following list for supported microcontrollers.

• PIC16/18XX 40PIN Series devices (except 16F59)
• PIC16/18XX 28PIN Series devices (except 16F57)
• PIC16/18XX 18PIN Series devices
• The PIC 8PIN/14PIN/20PIN family of devices (except 10FXX)

Instructions for use:

• Installing the microcontroller, 28-pin, 40-pin microcontroller left aligned 28/40P (A) This flag line short-circuit cap on the A position.
• The 8,14,18,20-pin microcontroller aligned on the left 8P/14P/18P/20P flag line (B), shorting cap on the B position.
• The ICD2, KIT2, KIT3 crystal head or 6Pin Block programming connection for programming the programming operation. (Note: a separate program of the seat can not be programmed the chip is programmed functions)
