PICSTART(R)Plus Low-cost Development Kit Supports All PICmicro(R)MCUs PICSTART Plus makes designing with Microchip MCUs simple and affordable. The PICSTART Plus development suite from Microchip Technology provides the product development engineer with a highly-flexible, low-cost microcontroller (MCU) design tool set for all Microchip PICmicro(R)MCU devices (DIP packages up to 40 pins with optional 68 and 84 PLCC capability). The PICSTART Plus development system runs on any PCcompatible machine operating under the Microsoft(R) Windows(R)operating system. PICSTART Plus is easy-touse and features Microchip's highly acclaimed MPLAB(R) Integrated Development Environment (IDE), with its builtin editor, assembler and Windows-based MPLAB SIM simulator. The PICSTART Plus development system includes full documentation, software, development programmer, and a device sample. The CE compliant PICSTART Plus development programmer features a molded plastic enclosure and special circuit design techniques to enhance ESD protection. PICSTART Plus is a development programmer and is not recommended for use in a production environment. Sample software programs are provided to help the developer quickly become familiar with the PICSTART Plus development system and with Microchip's PICmicro MCU families. The PICSTART Plus system also includes Microchip's new CD-ROM containing complete documentation necessary to get started with your design. Additionally, PICC LiteTM C compiler works with the enclosed sample part and is a great introduction into the "C" language and microcontroller program. Features: * Operates with PC-compatible host system running Windows under MPLAB IDE environment * Reads, programs, verifies EPROM and EEPROM program and data memory * Reads, programs, verifies all configuration bits * Programs and verifies an address range * Displays, edits, and transfers device contents to and from programmer unit * MPLAB Project support to automatically download object file to PICSTART Plus * MPASMTM Assembler translates assembler source code to object code for all PICmicro devices * MPLAB SIM Windows-based simulator designed to model operation of all PICmicro MCUs * Complete with RS-232 cable and 9V power supply * PICmicro MCU device sample * Complete documentation, User's Guides and CD-ROM * PICC LiteTM C compiler for PIC16F84 microcontroller M i c r o c h i p Te c h n o l o g y I n c o r p o r a t e d Ordering Information: System Description: Model Name: The PICSTART Plus development system includes the PICSTART Plus development programmer and the MPLAB IDE. PICSTART Plus Ordering Part Number: DV003001 Devices Supported: All PICmicro MCUs (DIP Packages up to 40 pins) Options: AC164024 68-pin PLCC Adaptor Kit AC164027 84-pin PLCC Adaptor Kit AC164031 28-pin MLF Adaptor Kit Host System Requirements: PC with Pentium(R)processor or greater Microsoft(R)Windows(R)operating system 1 Serial COM Port The PICSTART Plus programmer gives the product developer the ability to program user software into any of the supported MCUs. The PICSTART Plus software running under MPLAB provides for full interactive control over the programmer. The MPASMTM macro assembler provides programmable memory data files, listing files, and special files required for symbolic debug. The MPLAB SIM software simulator allows the user to isolate code problems and debug firmware designs on PICmicro devices. It simulates the core functions as well as most of the peripherals of the PICmicro MCU families. It is particularly suitable for optimizing algorithms where real-time emulation is not required.
