Overview
The MPLAB Snap (PG164100) is a low-cost, entry-level in-circuit debugger and programmer for Microchip PIC, AVR, and SAM flash microcontrollers. It connects to the host computer via a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and uses an 8-pin SIL connector to communicate with the target device.
Why Choose This Part
It offers high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity and wide target voltage support from 1.2V to 5.5V. The Snap eliminates firmware download delays when switching between different device families, allowing for faster development cycles.
Applications
Prototyping
Rapidly program and debug code on breadboards using the 8-pin Single In-Line (SIL) header.
Low-Cost Development
Ideal for students and hobbyists needing an affordable tool for PIC, AVR, and SAM architectures.
High-Speed Debugging
Debugs at the full clock speed of the target MCU, supporting up to 300MHz for Cortex-M7 cores.
Getting Started
Plug the Snap into a USB port and connect it to your target via the ICSP or SWD interface using the 8-pin header. Use the MPLAB X IDE (version 5.05 or later) to manage breakpoints and source-level debugging.
