Spot PIC KIT3 KIT3.5 offline programming simulation pickit3 programmer programmer programmer ICD quality online
Product Descriptions：
Main functional features of PICKIT3:
1、Fast download speed. USB connection is more stable than ICD2.
2、Offline burning function. It can be used for development, debugging, programming, and batch offline burning of products.
3、 Power output, internal voltage can be directly controlled using MPLAB IDE software.
4、PIKCIT3 has started supporting the WIN7 system
5、High imitation original shell (see picture), ultra small volume: 95 * 39 * 11MM
6、Fully automatic Samsung SMT machine processing,SMT processed by reflow soldering, product quality is more stable and reliable (all purchased by the electricity meter factory, not produced by small workshops)
Comparison between PICkit 3 and other products
1. Comparison between PICkit 3 and ICD 2
1）The 16 bit chip has a download speed that is more than twice as fast as ICD2.
2）The price is much lower than ICD2, and the supported series are almost as many as ICD2. It will surpass ICD2 in the future
3）Connectivity is more reliable than ICD2, and there is no frequent problem of ICD2 USB not being able to connect, which is one of the headaches of ICD2.
4）Officially open standard circuits.
5） It can now support offline downloads and is suitable for on-site program upgrades and batch programming.
6) Directly debug the PIC18FXXK series and PIC16F72X chips with VPP below 10V, without the need to manually add a voltage reduction circuit to the VPP.
7》 Can set the number of breakpoints:
PIC16 only supports one hardware debugging breakpoint
PIC18 supports 3 hardware debugging breakpoints
PIC24 supports 4 hardware debugging breakpoints
PIC32 supports 6 hardware debugging breakpoints
Dspic supports 2 hardware debugging breakpoints
Debugging pic18 is much more comfortable than pic16, but one breakpoint is really frustrating.
2. The similarities between PICkit 3 and PICkit 2 are:
1) Functionally identical
2) USB power supply for PC;
3) Provide programmable voltage;
The differences are:
1) The speed of PICKIT3 will be faster. The main chip of PICKIT3 is PIC24, which has slightly improved speed compared to Pickit2, and the USB is still Full12M.
2）Expand offline download space (512Kbytes), PICkit 2 (128Kbytes)
3）Provide a more accurate reference voltage source
Increase voltage range（1.8-5V VDD；1.8-14V VPP），PICkit 2（2.5-5V VDD）
4）There are more supported chip series, and currently PICKIT3 already supports PIC16F193X and PIC32. PICKIT2 will not support PIC32 debugging in the future, and its support for some new chips, such as PIC18F14K50, has been constantly in BETA state.
Newly adopted full surface mount design, machine surface mount processing, ensuring stable and reliable quality
