11.1
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:
• MPLAB™-ICE Real-Time In-Circuit Emulator
ICEPIC is designed to operate on PC-compatible
machines ranging from 386 through Pentium based
machines under Windows 3.x, Windows 95, or Win-
dows NT environment. ICEPIC features real time, non-
intrusive emulation.

PRO MATE II: Universal Programmer
• SIMICE
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. PRO MATE II is CE
compliant.
• 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-

PICSTART Plus Entry Level
Development System
The MPLAB-ICE Universal In-Circuit Emulator is
intended to provide the product development engineer
with a complete microcontroller design tool set for
PICmicro microcontrollers (MCUs). MPLAB-ICE is sup-
plied with the MPLAB Integrated Development Environ-
ment (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.
Interchangeable processor modules allow the system
to be easily reconfigured for emulation of different pro-
cessors. The universal architecture of the MPLAB-ICE
allows expansion to support all new Microchip micro-
controllers.
PICSTART Plus supports all PIC12CXXX, PIC14C000,
PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX devices with
up to 40 pins. Larger pin count devices such as the
PIC16C923, PIC16C924 and PIC17C756 may be sup-
ported with an adapter socket. PICSTART Plus is CE
compliant.
The MPLAB-ICE Emulator System has been designed
as a real-time emulation system with advanced fea-
tures that are generally found on more expensive
development tools.The PC compatible 386 (and higher)
machine platform and Microsoft Windows 3.x or
Windows 95 environment were chosen to best make
these features available to you, the end user.
MPLAB-ICE
is
available
in
two
versions.
MPLAB-ICE 1000 is a basic, low-cost emulator system
with simple trace capabilities. It shares processor mod-
ules with the MPLAB-ICE 2000. This is a full-featured
emulator system with enhanced trace, trigger, and data
monitoring features. Both systems will operate across
the entire operating speed reange of the PICmicro
MCU.
