| Product is End of Life (EOL), please consider MPLAB® ICD 5 or MPLAB PICkit™ 5 for your design needs. The MPLAB® ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer is Microchip’s fastest, cost-effective debugging and programming tool for PIC® and SAM Microcontrollers (MCUs) and Microprocessors (MPUs), dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), and CEC flash microcontrollers. This speed is provided by a SAME70 MCU with 300 MHz, 32-bit MCU with 2MB of RAM and a high-speed FPGA to yield faster communications, downloads and debugging. It debugs and programs with the powerful yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB ICD 4 is connected to your PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target with a debugging connector which is also compatible with the MPLAB ICD 3 or MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator systems. The MPLAB ICD 4 also works with JTAG interfaces. The MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer supports many, but not all, PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs at this time. The firmware is continually being upgraded to add support for new devices. To request priority device support or to report issues, email: ICD4_update@microchip.com If you have MPLAB X IDE installed, you can browse to the “docs” folder under your MPLABX installation directory and open the file “Device Support.htm”. Alternatively, you can download it from the Documentation tab on the MPLAB X webpage. |
| As of September 1, 2023, this product will be EOL (End of Life). Please consider MPLAB® PICkit™ 5 for your design needs. Fast programming and 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. The MPLAB® PICkit™ 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows fast and easy debugging and programming of PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR, SAM and CEC flash microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs), using the powerful graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), starting with version 4.15. 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 an 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 micro SD 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 with a powerful 32-bit 300 MHz SAME70 MCU and comes ready to support PIC®, AVR, SAM and dsPIC® MCU and MPU devices. Along with a wider target voltage, the PICkit 4 supports advanced interfaces such as 4-wire JTAG and Serial Wire Debug with streaming Data Gateway, while being backward compatible for demo boards, headers and target systems using 2-wire JTAG and ICSP. The PICkit 4 also has a unique programmer-to-go function with the addition of a micro SD card slot to hold project code and the ability to be powered by the target board. Note: The PICKit 4 is compatible with MPLAB X IDE version 4.15 and later. Download Now. To check supported devices: If you have MPLAB X IDE installed, you can browse to the “docs” folder under your MPLAB X installation directory and open the file “Device Support.htm”. Alternatively, you can download it from the Downloads tab from MPLAB® X IDE |
| License Change Notice: Our MPLAB® XC C Compiler PRO license provides valuable optimizations that reduce the size of your code and increase the efficiency of your software. We also offer our 12-month High Priority Access (HPA) product to maintain your PRO license to allow updating your compiler to the latest version, provide you with priority access to technical support and give you free shipping of development tools that you order on Microchip’s Purchasing and Client Services e-commerce website. Effective September 1, 2020 there were changes made to how MPLAB XC Compiler licenses are renewed. There will be no changes to the actual functions of the licenses. The following changes apply to this license type:
We are committed to continuously improving our world-class line of MPLAB XC compilers to provide you with valuable and easy-to-use software development solutions. Please email us at SW.Licensing@microchip.com if you have any questions. The MPLAB XC8 C Compiler is a full-featured, highly-optimized ANSI C compiler for all 8-bit AVR® and PIC® Microcontroller families. This compiler integrates into Microchips MPLAB(R) X IDE, is compatible with all Microchip debuggers and emulators, and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.The MPLAB XC8 PRO Workstation license unlocks the full potential and performance of all possible optimizations. Workstation licenses are not intended for virtual machine build environment. The network/site license and virtual machine add on license provide support for virtual machines.
