How Do I Order MPLAB® ICE?
Ordering MPLAB® ICE is as easy as 1, 2, and 3!
NOTE 1: Choose your PICmicro® MCU.
A Complete MPLAB® ICE System
MPLAB® ICE is a modular emulator system with interchangeable components allowing the system to be easily
configured to emulate different PICmicro® MCUs. Since this emulator supports package-specific emulation,
customers need to know which device and package they intend to emulate. Then, the customer can use the Cross
Reference Parts List on the following pages to identify the part numbers required to complete an MPLAB® ICE
system. A complete system consists of:
NOTE 1: An emulator pod (including among other things the host-to-pod parallel cable and power supply)

MPLAB
MPLAB® PM3 Programmer (DV007004) is Microchip’s production-rated programmer, which can be operated
stand-alone or with a PC using MPLAB® IDE (included free). It comes complete with accessories needed to
connect to a host system, including a power supply and cables, giving the developer complete control over the
programming session. The programmer requires a socket module (to be purchased separately), which can be
selected from the following chart by identifying the devices for programming and then picking the appropriate part
number from their respective columns. MPLAB® PM3 has built-in ICSP™ programming capability.
In-Circuit Debuggers: MPLAB
MPLAB® ICD 2 is a low cost, flash-based development tool that connects between the PC and the designer’s
target board allowing direct in-circuit debugging of the PICmicro® target microcontroller. Programs can be
executed in real time or single step, watch variables established, break points set, memory read/writes
accomplished and more. The MPLAB® ICD 2 can also be used as a development programmer for the
microcontrollers.
The MPLAB® ICE 2000 and MPLAB® ICE 4000 are full-featured emulator pods containing a main board with
an additional board for expanded trace memory and complex control logic. The pods come with a standard
parallel interface cable that connects the pods to the parallel port of the PC and a power supply. MPLAB® ICE
4000 also includes a USB interface cable that connects the pod to the USB port.
The processor module is a PICmicro®, device-specific module that is inserted into the emulator pod. The
processor module contains the emulator chip, logic, and low-voltage circuitry. A flex cable extends from the
processor module and is connected to the device adapter at the target application.
The device adapter provides a common interface for the PICmicro® MCU being emulated. This adapter
contains a special device that provides an oscillator clock allowing the user to accurately emulate the RC
characteristics of the PICmicro® MCU. The device adapter provides emulation support for standard DIP and
PLCC styles. For emulation support of other packages, a transition socket is needed along with the device
adapter.
The transition sockets are available in various styles to allow the common device adapter to be translated to
support surface-mount packages, such as SOIC, SSOP, PQFP, TQFP and MLF.
