DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
9.1
Development Tools
ICEPIC is a low-cost in-circuit emulator solution for the
Microchip PIC12CXXX, PIC16C5X and PIC16CXXX
families of 8-bit OTP microcontrollers.
The PICmicrο microcontrollers are supported with a
full range of hardware and software development tools:
• PICMASTER/DS40143BICMASTER CE Real-Time
In-Circuit Emulator
ICEPIC is designed to operate on PC-compatible
machines ranging from 286-AT through Pentium
based machines under Windows 3.x environment.
ICEPIC features real time, non-intrusive emulation.
• ICEPIC Low-Cost PIC16C5X and PIC16CXXX
In-Circuit Emulator
• PRO MATE II Universal Programmer

PRO MATE II: Universal Programmer
• PICSTART Plus Entry-Level Prototype
Programmer
The PRO MATE II Universal Programmer is a full-fea-
tured programmer capable of operating in stand-alone
mode as well as PC-hosted mode.
• PICDEM-1 Low-Cost Demonstration Board
• PICDEM-2 Low-Cost Demonstration Board
• PICDEM-3 Low-Cost Demonstration Board
• MPASM Assembler
The PRO MATE II has programmable VDD and VPP
supplies which allows it to verify programmed memory
at VDD min and VDD max for maximum reliability. It has
an LCD display for displaying error messages, keys to
enter commands and a modular detachable socket
assembly to support various package types. In stand-
alone mode the PRO MATE II can read, verify or pro-
• MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
• MPLAB-C (C Compiler)

PICSTART Plus Entry Level
Development System
The PICMASTER Universal In-Circuit Emulator is
intended to provide the product development engineer
with a complete microcontroller design tool set for all
microcontrollers in the SX, PIC14C000, PIC16C5X,
PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX families. PICMASTER is
supplied with the MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment (IDE), which allows editing, “make” and
download, and source debugging from a single envi-
ronment.
The PICSTART programmer is an easy-to-use, low-
cost prototype programmer. It connects to the PC via
one of the COM (RS-232) ports. MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment software makes using the
programmer simple and efficient. PICSTART Plus is
not recommended for production programming.
PICSTART Plus supports all PIC12CXXX, PIC14C000,
PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX devices with
up to 40 pins. Larger pin count devices such as the
PIC16C923 and PIC16C924 may be supported with an
adapter socket.
Interchangeable target probes allow the system to be
easily reconfigured for emulation of different proces-
sors. The universal architecture of the PICMASTER
allows expansion to support all new Microchip micro-
controllers.
The PICMASTER Emulator System has been
designed as a real-time emulation system with
advanced features that are generally found on more
expensive development tools. The PC compatible 386
(and higher) machine platform and Microsoft Windows
3.x environment were chosen to best make these fea-
tures available to you, the end user.
A CE compliant version of PICMASTER is available for
European Union (EU) countries.
