Overview

The ATATMEL-ICE-BASIC is a professional hardware debugger and programmer designed for Microchip AVR and SAM microcontrollers. It supports a wide range of interfaces including JTAG, SWD, PDI, and debugWIRE to provide full on-chip debugging and programming capabilities. This unit is powered via USB and can interface with targets operating from 1.62V to 5.5V.

Why Choose This Part

It offers universal compatibility across the entire Microchip AVR and SAM portfolio, eliminating the need for multiple proprietary tools. The low current draw from the target VTref ensures minimal impact on the electrical characteristics of the system under test.

Applications

Firmware Development
Source-level debugging and real-time execution control for AVR and ARM-based SAM microcontrollers.
Production Programming
In-system programming of flash memory and fuses via SPI, JTAG, or PDI interfaces.
Power Optimization
Monitoring target voltage and debugging low-power sleep modes where VTref current draw is less than 3mA.
Legacy System Maintenance
Supporting older 8-bit AVR architectures through TPI and debugWIRE protocols.

Getting Started

Connect the Atmel-ICE to a PC via the included USB cable and install Microchip Studio or MPLAB X IDE for full driver support. Ensure the target voltage is between 1.62V and 5.5V for the probe to sense the logic levels correctly through the IDC flat cable.
