This advisory applies to the following development tools:
- MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer
- MPLAB PICkit™ 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer
- MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer
- PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer
- MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer
- MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator/Programmer
- MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer
Development Tools Overview
All development tools that apply to this advisory can program a device using In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™). All except the MPLAB PM3 dedicated programmer can perform in-circuit debugging on a target device. The MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator can debug a device as well as perform advanced functions such as trace, which is why it is called an emulator and not a debugger.
Advisory Contents
For applications where you intend to use the above tools, you should consider the guidelines and implementation considerations discussed in this advisory to ensure proper interfacing.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
