PIC16F84A 18-pin Enhanced Flash/EEPROM 8-Bit MCU Data Sheet

PIC16F84A8.0 DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT8.1 Development ToolsThe PICmicrο microcontrollers are supported with afull range of hardware and software development tools:• MPLAB-ICE Real-Time In-Circuit Emulator• ICEPIC Low-Cost PIC16C5X and PIC16CXXXIn-Circuit Emulator• PRO MATE ® II Universal Programmer• PICSTART ® Plus Entry-Level PrototypeProgrammer• SIMICE• PICDEM-1 Low-Cost Demonstration Board• PICDEM-2 Low-Cost Demonstration Board• PICDEM-3 Low-Cost Demonstration Board• MPASM Assembler• MPLAB SIM Software Simulator• MPLAB-C17 (C Compiler)• Fuzzy Logic Development System(fuzzyTECH ® −MP)• KEELOQ ® Evaluation Kits and Programmer8.2 MPLAB-ICE: High PerformanceUniversal In-Circuit Emulator withMPLAB IDEThe MPLAB-ICE Universal In-Circuit Emulator isintended to provide the product development engineerwith a complete microcontroller design tool set forPICmicro microcontrollers (MCUs). MPLAB-ICE is suppliedwith the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment(IDE), which allows editing, “make” anddownload, and source debugging from a single environment.Interchangeable processor modules allow the systemto be easily reconfigured for emulation of different processors.The universal architecture of the MPLAB-ICEallows expansion to support all new Microchip microcontrollers.The MPLAB-ICE Emulator System has been designedas a real-time emulation system with advanced featuresthat are generally found on more expensive developmenttools. The PC compatible 386 (and higher)machine platform and Microsoft Windows ® 3.x orWindows 95 environment were chosen to best makethese features available to you, the end user.MPLAB-ICE is available in two versions.MPLAB-ICE 1000 is a basic, low-cost emulator systemwith simple trace capabilities. It shares processor moduleswith the MPLAB-ICE 2000. This is a full-featuredemulator system with enhanced trace, trigger, and datamonitoring features. Both systems will operate acrossthe entire operating speed reange of the PICmicroMCU.8.3 ICEPIC: Low-Cost PICmicroIn-Circuit EmulatorICEPIC is a low-cost in-circuit emulator solution for theMicrochip PIC12CXXX, PIC16C5X and PIC16CXXXfamilies of 8-bit OTP microcontrollers.ICEPIC is designed to operate on PC-compatiblemachines ranging from 386 through Pentium basedmachines under Windows 3.x, Windows 95, or WindowsNT environment. ICEPIC features real time, nonintrusiveemulation.8.4 PRO MATE II: Universal ProgrammerThe PRO MATE II Universal Programmer is a full-featuredprogrammer capable of operating in stand-alonemode as well as PC-hosted mode. PRO MATE II is CEcompliant.The PRO MATE II has programmable VDD and VPPsupplies which allows it to verify programmed memoryat VDD min and VDD max for maximum reliability. It hasan LCD display for displaying error messages, keys toenter commands and a modular detachable socketassembly to support various package types. In standalonemode the PRO MATE II can read, verify or programPIC12CXXX, PIC14C000, PIC16C5X,PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX devices. It can also setconfiguration and code-protect bits in this mode.8.5 PICSTART Plus Entry LevelDevelopment SystemThe PICSTART programmer is an easy-to-use, lowcostprototype programmer. It connects to the PC viaone of the COM (RS-232) ports. MPLAB IntegratedDevelopment Environment software makes using theprogrammer simple and efficient. PICSTART Plus is notrecommended for production programming.PICSTART Plus supports all PIC12CXXX, PIC14C000,PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX devices withup to 40 pins. Larger pin count devices such as thePIC16C923, PIC16C924 and PIC17C756 may be supportedwith an adapter socket. PICSTART Plus is CEcompliant.© 1998 Microchip Technology Inc.
