Universal device programmer for PIC and dsPIC

5 May 2004 DSP, Micros & Memory

The MPLAB PM3 Universal Device Programmer from Microchip supports all of the company's PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers (DSCs).

The PRO MATE II universal programmer was previously rated one of the leading programmers in CMP's 2002 Embedded Market Study, according to the company, and the MPLAB PM3 adds a number of improvements. These include faster programming, USB connectivity, improved socket module connection, SD and MMC card storage and a built-in In-Circuit Serial Programming interface.

The new programmer can be connected to a PC via a USB or serial port, or can be used as a standalone unit. For maximum ease-of-use in standalone mode, it features a larger and brighter 128x64 pixel graphic LCD screen providing menus, programming statistics and status information, and an SD/MMC flash card slot for easy and secure data storage and transfer. When connected to a PC, the MPLAB PM3 is fully integrated into Microchip's free MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE) software, or can be used via a separate command line interface.

Other key features of the MPLAB PM3 include: Serialised Quick Turn Programming for encoding unique serial numbers in PC host mode; Buzzer notification for noisy environments; and sold separately are a complete line of interchangeable socket modules and an adapter that allows PRO MATE II socket modules to be used on MPLAB PM3.

The MPLAB PM3 Universal Device Programmer is supplied with a power supply, serial and USB cables, and an ICSP cable.
