PICKit4 PG164140 Hardware Debuggers MPLAB X IDE PICKit 4 with USB cable

MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger

Summary:

Fast programming, increased functionality, at the same price as its predecessor, the PICkit™ 3.

The MPLAB PICkit 4 now has Programmer-to-Go functionality for 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit PIC MCUs and dsPICs and also SAM MCU devices . The firmware update comes with MPLAB X IDE v5.30.

MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger Description

The MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger (PG164140) allows fast and easy debugging and programming of Microchip

PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR, SAM and CEC (Arm® Cortex®-M7-based) microcontrollers using the powerful graphical user

interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

The MPLAB PICkit 4 is connected to the design engineer's computer using a high-speed 2.0 USB interface and can

be connected to the target via a Microchip debug 8-pin Single In-Line (SIL) connector. The connector uses two device

I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™). An

additional microSDHC card slot and the ability to be self-powered from the target means you can take your code with

you and program on the go.

The MPLAB PICkit 4 programs faster than its predecessor (PICkit 3) and comes ready to support PIC, dsPIC, AVR,

SAM and CEC MCU devices. Along with a wider target voltage, the MPLAB PICkit 4 supports advanced interfaces

such as 4-wire JTAG, Serial Wire Debug (SWD), and streaming Data Gateway1, while being backward compatible for

demo boards, headers and target systems using 2-wire JTAG and ICSP. The MPLAB PICkit 4 also has a unique

Programmer-To-Go function with the addition of a microSDHC card slot to hold project code and the ability to be

powered by the target board.

The debugger system executes code like an actual device because it uses a device with built-in emulation circuitry,

instead of a special debugger chip. All available features of a given device are accessible interactively, and can be

set and modified by the MPLAB X IDE interface.

The MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger is compatible with any of these platforms:

• Microsoft Windows® 7 or later

• Linux®

• macOS™

The MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger was developed for debugging embedded processors with rich debug
