Overview

The MPLAB PICkit 5 is a versatile in-circuit debugger and programmer that supports Microchip's entire portfolio of PIC, dsPIC, AVR, and SAM microcontrollers. It features an ARM Cortex-M7 core running at 300 MHz and introduces Bluetooth connectivity for remote control and monitoring via a smartphone app.

Why Choose This Part

It offers superior flexibility with support for JTAG, SWD, and ICSP interfaces and can provide up to 150mA of power to the target device. The inclusion of a Virtual Comm Port (VCOM) and an emergency recovery button significantly simplifies the development and troubleshooting workflow.

Applications

Field Firmware Updates
Utilizes the Programmer-To-Go (PTG) feature and microSD card slot to update device firmware in the field without a computer.
Remote Debugging
Leverages Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity to debug hardware in inaccessible or hazardous environments via the MPLAB PTG mobile app.
Low-Power Development
Supports targets operating as low as 1.2V, making it suitable for ultra-low power battery-operated designs.
Production Programming
Serves as a cost-effective tool for small-batch production programming using the integrated Programmer-To-Go functionality.
