PICKit 4 PG164140 MPLAB
Designed as the successor to the PICkitâ„¢ 3, the PICkitâ„¢ 4 offers faster programming speeds, a wider target voltage range, and support for more advanced debugging interfaces. It automatically matches the target device clock speed, ensuring optimal performance while programming or debugging.
The PICkitâ„¢ 4 is powered via USB 2.0 and can also be self-powered from the target device. With support for Programmer-to-Go (PTG) and an onboard microSD card slot, developers can store firmware and program devices in the field without a computer, making it an ideal tool for both development labs and production environments.
