Product details

Overview

DV164006 from Microchip Technology is an in-circuit debugger and programmer evaluation kit for PIC® and dsPIC® Flash microcontrollers, featuring USB and RS-232 host interfaces, real-time execution, MPLAB IDE compatibility, built-in overvoltage/short-circuit monitoring, and support for 2.0–6.0 V target operation.

For engineers reviewing the DV164006 datasheet, DV164006 pinout, DV164006 application, or DV164006 equivalent, this kit enables full-cycle development-debugging, programming, memory read/write, and erase with verification-on production boards without emulator sockets or adapters.

Technical Context

The DV164006 integrates the MPLAB ICD 2 module with a PICDEM™ 2 Plus demonstration board (DV163022), power supply, USB cable, and RS-232 cable. It connects to target devices via an ICD connector using two shared I/O pins for both debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™).

It supports real-time freeze-peripherals at breakpoints and operates across 2.0–6.0 V target voltage range, with diagnostic LEDs indicating power, busy, and error states. Firmware is upgradeable via PC or web download from microchip.com.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Host Interface	USB Full Speed (12 Mbps) and RS-232 - enables flexible connection to Windows PCs without requiring dedicated hardware drivers beyond standard OS support.
Target Voltage Range	2.0 V to 6.0 V - allows debugging and programming of low-voltage PIC16F/PIC18F/dsPIC33F devices without external level-shifting circuitry.
Supported Devices	PIC and dsPIC Flash MCUs (excluding PIC16F72/73/74/76/77/83/84A) - verified device list updated via MPLAB IDE README and microchip.com firmware downloads.
Debug Capabilities	Real-time execution, breakpoint-triggered peripheral freeze, program/data memory read/write, and full-memory erase with verification - delivers production-relevant debug visibility without ICE hardware.
Included Hardware	ICD 2 Module, USB Cable, RS-232 Cable, AC/DC Power Supply, and PICDEM™ 2 Plus Demo Board (DV163022) - provides immediate out-of-box evaluation with PIC18F452 and PIC16F877.

FAQ

What is the DV164006 used for?

The DV164006 is an evaluation kit that combines the MPLAB ICD 2 debugger/programmer with the PICDEM™ 2 Plus demonstration board, enabling engineers to develop, debug, and program PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers directly on target hardware. The DV164006 supports real-time execution, memory read/write, and erase with verification - all within the MPLAB IDE environment.

Does the DV164006 require additional software to operate?

Yes - the DV164006 requires Microchip's MPLAB IDE (a free download), which provides the graphical interface for debugging, programming, and configuration. The DV164006 includes a free copy of MPLAB IDE on its accompanying CD, and firmware updates are available via microchip.com. No third-party IDE or license is needed for basic DV164006 functionality.

Which microcontrollers are supported by the DV164006?

The DV164006 supports most PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers via the MPLAB ICD 2 firmware, including PIC16F, PIC18F, and dsPIC33F families. Unsupported devices explicitly listed in documentation include PIC16F72/73/74/76/77/83/84A. Device support is extended through periodic firmware updates downloadable from microchip.com.

Can the DV164006 be used for production programming?

The DV164006 is primarily intended for development and evaluation, not high-volume production programming. While it performs full memory erase, verify, and program cycles on target boards, its throughput and automation capabilities are optimized for engineering use. For production, Microchip recommends standalone programmers like PICSTART® Plus or PRO MATE® II - but DV164006 remains valid for pre-production validation and small-batch firmware deployment.

What interfaces does the DV164006 provide to connect to a PC?

The DV164006 provides both USB Full Speed (12 Mbps) and RS-232 physical interfaces to connect to a host PC running Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. USB is preferred for plug-and-play operation; RS-232 requires a null-modem cable and may need driver configuration. Both interfaces deliver identical debug and programming functionality for the DV164006 system.
