Features

The PICDEM 2 Plus can be used as a standalone demonstration board with a programmed part. Alternatively, it can be used with an in-circuit emulator (for example, MPLAB® Real ICETM) or with an in-circuit programmer/debugger (such as MPLAB® ICD 3 or PICkitTM 3). Microchip offers a bundle of the PICDEM 2 PLUS and the MPLAB® ICD 3, called the MPLAB® ICD 3 Evaluation Kit (with PICDEM 2 Plus), product number DV164036. Sample programs are provided to demonstrate the unique features of the supported devices.
