Use a USB interface to connect to the PC

The PICkit3 development tool has built-in drivers to realize high-speed USB communication.

Connection interface with target board

ICSP standard interface specified by PICkit3.

Firmware can be upgraded

In the future, Microchip will introduce more PIC models, and will also add new device models to the ICSP device support list. When you need to use the latest models in future development, upgrade kit3, and upgrade firmware programs, you will be able to support the new Model!

The upgrade method is an automatic upgrade, and Microchip will provide an upgrade program.

Tool description:

The programmer/debugger is a simple low-cost online debugger controlled by a PC running MPLAB IDE (v8.20 or higher) software on a Windows® platform.

It can program and debug almost the entire series of PIC FLASH microcontroller chips such as Microchip's PIC10/12/16/18/24/32, dsPIC30/dsPIC33, etc. PICkit3 can program Microchip's KEELOQ HCS series chips, MCP250xx CAN series chips, and EEPROM memory chips.

Compared with PICkit2, PICkit3 has the advantages of stable simulation, more supported models, and faster speed. It can stably support PIC16, PIC18, PIC24, DSPIC, and other series of MCU simulations and downloads.
