Top of the Form This low-cost programming and debugging solution is not only perfect for those designs that target 8-bit space, but is also perfect for 16-bit and 32-bit development because of its 300 MHz high-performance ATSAME70Q21B Onboard MCUs. The benefits of increased program speed include less wait and higher productivity during development, which is especially important when designing with 32-bit MCUs that have large memory capacities.
With the PICkit 4 development tools, designers can debug and program using the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) graphical user interface using a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface to connect to a design engineer's computer and through a high-speed, Pin headers connect to the target, such advanced interfaces include a 4-wire JTAG and a serial wire debug interface with a streaming data gateway, etc. It also provides backward compatibility with demo boards, plugs, and connectors that use 2-wire JTAG and In- Circuit Serial Programming ™ (ICSP in-line serial programming) of the target system.
With a new interface, this low-cost tool is also compatible with Microchip's CEC1702 hardware encryption device, a low-power and powerful 32-bit MCU that provides easy-to-use encryption and authentication as well as private and public key Function, CEC1702 users can now benefit from Microchip's development tools and support without having to invest in third-party tools for programming and debugging.
Rodger Richey, director of Microchip's development systems group, said: "It is not necessarily expensive to develop tools better and faster, and for design engineers working on PICs, dsPICs and CEC1702 devices, the MPLAB PICkit 4 programmer has all they need Capabilities, and the ability to support generations of new products for years to come.It is our unwavering commitment to provide the industry's highest performance, easiest-to-use development tools at a reasonable price.
