Microchip MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger/ Programmer

Microchip MPLAB PICkit 4 In-circuit debugger allows you to program faster than before and comes ready to support the PIC and dsPIC flash microcontroller devices. The MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) graphical user interface has add new device support and feature upgrades making it easy to maintain giving you more flexibility for the future.

The PICkit device has a unique programmer-to-go function as well as a micro SD card slot that holds program data, just press on the logo to program. The MPLAB PICkit 4 can also be powered by the target board when you are on the go just connect the In-circuit serial programming cable. Connection for the MPLAB PICkit 4 debugger is normally to the computer via a high-speed 2.0 USB interface (no external power required). If connecting the In-circuit debugger programmer to the target board then this is through an 8-pin Single In-Line (SIL) connector. This connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™).

The Microchip MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer comes with a USB to micro-B USB cable, Warranty card and two MPLAB PICKit 4 stickers.
