AC162049-2 is a easy to use Universal Programming Module can be used with the MPLAB REAL ICE, MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger, and PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger to program 8 to 40 pin DIP package parts. This programming module can operate from tool supplied VDD (when using ICD 3 and PICkit 3) and also has two on board adjustable regulators. The VDD regulator adjusts from 1.2V to 5.5V. The CORE VDD Regulator, adjusting from 1.2V to 2.7V, is used to supply the VDDCORE/VCAP pin voltage.· USB (Full Speed 2 Mbits/s) and RS-232 interface to host PC · Real-time execution · MPLAB IDE compatible (free copy included) · Built-in over voltage/short circuit monitor · Firmware upgradeable from PC/web download · Totally enclosed · Supports low voltage to 2.0 volts (2.0 to 6.0 range) · Diagnostic LED's (Power, Busy, Error) · Read/Write program and data memory of microcontroller · Erase of program memory space w
