11.2
PICMASTER: High Performance
Universal In-Circuit Emulator with
MPLAB IDE
The PICMASTER Universal In-Circuit Emulator is
intended to provide the product development engineer
with a complete microcontroller design tool set for all
microcontrollers in the SX, PIC14C000, PIC16C5X,
PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX families. PICMASTER is
supplied with the MPLAB
Integrated Development
Environment (IDE), which allows editing, “make” and
download, and source debugging from a single envi-
ronment.
Interchangeable target probes allow the system to be
easily reconfigured for emulation of different proces-
sors. The universal architecture of the PICMASTER
allows expansion to support all new Microchip micro-
controllers.
The PICMASTER Emulator System has been designed
as a real-time emulation system with advanced fea-
tures that are generally found on more expensive devel-
opment tools. The PC compatible 386 (and higher)
machine platform and Microsoft Windows
3.x environ-
ment were chosen to best make these features avail-
able to you, the end user.
A CE compliant version of PICMASTER is available for
European Union (EU) countries.
11.3
ICEPIC: Low-Cost PICmicro
In-Circuit Emulator
ICEPIC is a low-cost in-circuit emulator solution for the
Microchip PIC12CXXX, PIC16C5X and PIC16CXXX
families of 8-bit OTP microcontrollers.
ICEPIC is designed to operate on PC-compatible
machines ranging from 286-AT
through Pentium
based machines under Windows 3.x environment.
ICEPIC features real time, non-intrusive emulation.
11.4
PRO MATE II: Universal Programmer
The PRO MATE II Universal Programmer is a full-fea-
tured programmer capable of operating in stand-alone
mode as well as PC-hosted mode.
The PRO MATE II has programmable V
DD
and V
PP
supplies which allows it to verify programmed memory
at V
DD
min and V
DD
max for maximum reliability. It has
an LCD display for displaying error messages, keys to
enter commands and a modular detachable socket
assembly to support various package types. In stand-
alone mode the PRO MATE II can read, verify or pro-
gram
PIC12CXXX,
PIC14C000,
PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX devices. It can also set
configuration and code-protect bits in this mode.
PIC16C5X,
11.5
PICSTART Plus Entry Level
Development System
The PICSTART programmer is an easy-to-use, low-
cost prototype programmer. It connects to the PC via
one of the COM (RS-232) ports. MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment software makes using the
programmer simple and efficient. PICSTART Plus is not
recommended for production programming.
PICSTART Plus supports all PIC12CXXX, PIC14C000,
PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX devices with
up to 40 pins. Larger pin count devices such as the
PIC16C923 and PIC16C924 may be supported with an
adapter socket.
