Overview

The ATPOWERDEBUGGER is a Microchip hardware debugger that combines in-circuit debugging/programming with power measurement for embedded development. It attaches to a target board and a host PC over USB and is used to debug firmware while profiling target power consumption. The tool integrates with Microchip development tools to streamline debug and power-analysis workflows.

Why Choose This Part

Combines in-circuit debugging and power analysis in a single accessory so you can correlate firmware behavior with actual power use. Tight integration with Microchip development tools reduces setup time and provides a familiar debug workflow for engineers working on AVR and SAM-based designs. Its USB connectivity makes it convenient for desktop development and lab environments.

Applications

Firmware debugging
Set breakpoints, single-step, and inspect variables on AVR and SAM microcontroller targets during development.
Power profiling
Measure and log target current consumption to find power-hungry code paths and verify low-power modes.
Boot and flash programming
Program target device flash during development and production bring-up.
Low-power optimization
Validate sleep modes and wake-up sequences by correlating current traces with firmware activity.

Getting Started

Install a Microchip development IDE such as MPLAB X IDE or Atmel Studio and the appropriate device support packages/drivers. Connect the ATPOWERDEBUGGER to your host PC via USB and to your target board using the supported debug header on the target. Consult the product user guide for using the power-measurement feature and any target wiring required to route target supply through the debugger for profiling.
