PG164150, Microchip MPLAB PICkit 5 In-Circuit Debugger

MPLAB® PICkit™ 5 In-Circuit Debugger

The MPLAB^® PICkit™ 5 in-circuit debugger/programmer enables quick prototyping and portable, production-ready programming for all Microchip devices, including PIC^® microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC^® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), AVR^® and SAM devices and Arm^® Cortex^®-based microprocessors (MPUs). It works alongside the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to provide a powerful and easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) for debugging and programing. Alternatively, the MPLAB PICkit 5 in-circuit debugger/programmer can be used stand-alone with the MPLAB Programmer-to-Go (PTG) mobile app, allowing you to connect to the tool from your smartphone via Bluetooth^®.

Note: The PICKit 5 is compatible with MPLAB X IDE version 6.10 and later.
