The MPLAB® ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger/programmer is Microchip’s fastest, cost-effective debugging and programming tool for PIC® Microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). This speed is provided by a 300 MHz, 32-bit MCU with 2MB of RAM and a high-speed FPGA to yield faster communications, downloads and debugging. It debugs and programs with the powerful, yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB ICD 4 development tool is connected to your PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target with a debugging connector which is also compatible with the MPLAB ICD 3 or MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator systems. The MPLAB ICD 4 debugger also works with JTAG interfaces.
