Main features of pickit3:
1. the USB connection is stable, and there is no issue of flushing the firmware of icd2/icd2.5.
2. fast download speed.
3. Supports offline burning and writing. It can be used for offline burning and writing of products in batches.
4. adjustable power supply output. The internal voltage can be directly controlled in mplab ide software.
5. Windows 7 is supported.
Reasons for selecting pickit3:
1. Why choose pickit3 instead of icd2/icd2.5?
A) stable use of pcikit3. Icd2/icd2.5 has a congenital technical defect: USB connection Error
, Punch the firmware. It must be improved by countless engineers,
The error probability is greatly reduced. However, this is an inherent defect that cannot be completely avoided.
B) pickit3 supports offline writing and production, while icd2/icd2.5 does not.
It is not convenient to burn and write data in mass production.
2. Why choose pickit3 instead of pickit2?
A) pickit3 uses a 16-bit chip. The burning speed is faster than that of pickit2.
B) For offline download, pickit3 has a download space of 512kbytes, while pickit2 only
There are 128 Kbytes
C) pickit3 has four self-recovery fuses to provide adequate protection for the chip. Pickit2
Without a fuse, the chip can hardly be protected.
D) pikcit3 supports win7 and pickit2 does not.
E) pickit3 provides more accurate reference voltage sources and increases the voltage range: 1.8-5 v vdd and
1.8-14 V Vpp and pickit2 only support 2.5-5 V VDD
F) pickit3 supports more chip series. Currently, pickit3 supports
And pic32. Pickit2 has stopped upgrading and cannot support subsequent chips.
