JTAG and the PIC32
​

This programmer/debugger is an older model and is no longer for sale. Please visit Microchip’s Programmers and Debuggers page to find currently available options.

PIC32 Overview

PIC32 devices provide a complete range of programming and diagnostic features that can increase the flexibility of any application using them. These features allow system designers to include:

  • Simplified field programming using the two-wire In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP) interface
  • Debugging using ICSP
  • Programming and debugging through Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface
  • Incorporates an Enhanced JTAG (EJTAG) extension of standard JTAG interfaces
  • JTAG Boundary scan testing for device and board diagnostics
