MCD2(MPLAB ICD2)PIC MCU Programmer/Debugger Price buy introduction Info|Study-Dev-PIC-programmer-simulator

MCD2 are fully compatible with Microchip's Circuit Debugger MPLAB-ICD2 of a powerful, low-cost, high operating speed of development tools. It uses Flash technology chip area since the procedure to read and write functions, use the chip to achieve simulation debugging.
    MCD2 software platforms are used by Microchip's MPLAB-IDE v6.20 (Integrated Development Environment software package) or higher for all the current version, compatible with Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT and Windows 2000/Windows XP / Windows 2003/Windows Vista operating system and so on.
    Its communication interface at the same time with high-speed USB2.0 interface (up to 12Mbit / s) with the RS-232 serial interface; operating voltage range of 2.0 ~ 5.5V.Its main features are:

           o source code editor;
           o directly in the source code debugging interface;
           o to set a breakpoint one meeting;
           o observation of variables and registers;
           o observation of program code area;
           o amend the register;
           o stop freezing (when the host computer running the program to stop, freeze the operation of the chip);
           o Over-voltage short-circuit protection circuit, overcurrent protection circuit, output protection circuit RP;
           o Real-time background debugging;
           o chip programmer or programming;
           o support the objectives of the device voltage range of 2.0 ~ 5.5V, low-voltage devices more convenient programmer and debugging (many other similar domestic products can not debug or programmer low-voltage devices);

   ICD2 can support most of the Flash chip technology, which not only can use the debugger to do, but also can be used as the development of type / production programmer uses.
   ICD2 are currently only able to support a low-cost programmer and Simulation of PIC24FJXX/DSPIC30FXX/DSPIC33FJXX tool.
   ICD2 is the only one to have more than 80% of customer base PIC Engineer development tools.
   ICD2 factory production PIC18FXX/PIC24FJXX/DSPIC30FXX/DSPIC33FJXX are currently the most convenient, cost-effective, fastest programmer a tool.
   At the same time to support Microchip's new 32-bit single-chip microcomputer.
   The latest Microchip device upgrade speed upgrade simply download the new version of the software on the line, do not need to change the hardware, zero cost upgrade.

     Emulator debugger MCD2 for ICE Emulator are a cheap alternative (than ICE emulator cheaper price near 10 times). It can make a lot of previously required expensive hardware in order to achieve function. However, these benefits are online emulator of the cost of some convenience. If the user is willing to design into their applications compatible with MCD2, they will be able to enjoy a low-cost hardware debugger benefits.

   Compared with the ICE, on-line debugger requirements:

     * Circuit Debugger occupancy goals require some hardware and software resources.
     * The target PIC MCU must have a running clock.
     * MCD2 only in the system, all connections are completely normal in order to debug.
     * The volume of post-partum in the system can still be placed in the application of a plate-Circuit Debugger to connect Block MCD2 connected with, so on the application of permit convenient testing, debugging and re-programming.
     * Although MCD2 with ICE compared to certain deficiencies, but it also has some outstanding advantages:

         * After the mass production can be linked directly with the target board without having to first remove the single-chip simulation and then plug in the first.
         * MCD2 target application can be re-programmed without the need for other connections or equipment.
         * Prices so cheap, but also have the programmer functions, but also unrestricted free upgrade constantly to support new devices.
