<strong>MPLAB</strong> ® <strong>ICD</strong> 3 <strong>In</strong>-<strong>Circuit</strong> <strong>Debugger</strong> User’s <strong>Guide</strong>PC HostAny PC running a supported Windows operating system.PIC MCUsPIC microcontrollers (MCUs) refers to all Microchip microcontroller families.PICSTART PlusA developmental device programmer from Microchip. Programs 8-, 14-, 28-, and 40-pinPIC microcontrollers. Must be used with <strong>MPLAB</strong> IDE software.Plug-insThe <strong>MPLAB</strong> IDE has both built-in components and plug-in modules to configure thesystem for a variety of software and hardware tools. Several plug-in tools may be foundunder the Tools menu.Pod<strong>MPLAB</strong> <strong>ICD</strong> 3 system: The box that contains the emulation control circuitry for the ICEdevice on the header or target board. An ICE device can be a production device withbuilt-in ICE circuitry or a special ICE version of a production device (i.e., device-ICE).<strong>MPLAB</strong> <strong>ICD</strong> 2: The box that contains the debug control circuitry for the <strong>ICD</strong> device onthe header or target board. An <strong>ICD</strong> device can be a production device with built-in <strong>ICD</strong>circuitry or a special <strong>ICD</strong> version of a production device (i.e., device-<strong>ICD</strong>).<strong>MPLAB</strong> ICE 2000/4000: The external debugger box that contains emulation memory,trace memory, event and cycle timers, and trace/breakpoint logic.Power-on-Reset EmulationA software randomization process that writes random values in data RAM areas tosimulate uninitialized values in RAM upon initial power application.PRO MATE IINo longer in Production. See the <strong>MPLAB</strong> PM3 device programmer.A device programmer from Microchip. Programs most PIC microcontrollers as well asmost memory and KEELOQ devices. Can be used with <strong>MPLAB</strong> IDE or stand-alone.ProfileFor <strong>MPLAB</strong> SIM simulator, a summary listing of executed stimulus by register.Program CounterThe location that contains the address of the instruction that is currently executing.Program MemoryThe memory area in a device where instructions are stored. Also, the memory in thedebugger or simulator containing the downloaded target application firmware.ProjectA project contains the files needed to build an application (source code, linker scriptfiles, etc.) along with their associations to various build tools and build options.Prototype SystemA term referring to a user's target application, or target board.PWM SignalsPulse-Width Modulation Signals. Certain PIC MCU devices have a PWM peripheral.QualifierAn address or an address range used by the Pass Counter or as an event beforeanother operation in a complex trigger.DS51766A-page 94© 2008 Microchip Technology <strong>In</strong>c.
