PICKIT3 Programmer Simulator

The PICKIT3 Programmer Simulator is a PICkit 3 type in-circuit programmer and debugger for Microchip PIC microcontrollers. It connects to your computer by USB and to the target board through a 6-pin ICSP header, so you can write firmware to a chip, read it back and step through your code with breakpoints. It is a practical tool for students, hobbyists and engineers working with PIC chips.

PICKIT3 Programmer Simulator Specifications

• Function: in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) and in-circuit debugging
• Supported devices: PIC10F, PIC12F, PIC16F, PIC18F, PIC24, dsPIC30, dsPIC33 and PIC32 families (check the device support list for your chip)
• PC connection: USB, Mini-USB socket
• Target connection: 6-pin ICSP header, 2.54 mm pitch: MCLR/VPP, VDD, GND, PGD, PGC, PGM (LVP)
• Software: Microchip MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB IPE (check that your version lists PICkit 3 support)

PICKIT3 Programmer Simulator Applications

• Programming PIC16F877A, PIC16F88, PIC18F4550 and other PIC chips
• Debugging firmware on the target board with breakpoints
• University and school microcontroller labs
• Updating firmware on boards that have an ICSP header

What's in the Box

• 1 × PICKIT3 programmer

Tip: Pin 1 (MCLR/VPP) is marked with an arrow on the programmer; line it up with pin 1 of the ICSP header on your board. For circuits that draw more than a few tens of milliamps, power the target from its own supply rather than from the programmer.
