Product details
Overview
DV164035 from Microchip Technology is the official MPLAB® ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger kit - a USB-powered, high-speed hardware accelerator for real-time firmware debugging and programming of PIC® and dsPIC® microcontrollers. It supports full-speed emulation, hardware/software breakpoints, peripheral freeze, and stopwatch functions across 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit device families, and is used directly on target hardware during embedded development.
For engineers reviewing the DV164035 datasheet, DV164035 pinout, DV164035 application, or DV164035 equivalent, key selection considerations include USB 2.0 interface compatibility, ICSP™/Enhanced ICSP™ 2-wire debug protocol support, programmable target voltage (2.0–5.5 V), real-time register monitoring, and integration with MPLAB IDE v8.15+ on Windows platforms.
Technical Context
The DV164035 implements an in-circuit debugging architecture that uses production silicon with built-in emulation circuitry - eliminating emulation vs. production silicon discrepancies. It communicates via USB 2.0 to host PC and uses ICSP™ or Enhanced ICSP™ 2-wire serial interfaces to connect to target MCUs.
It provides real-time control over core execution (Run/Halt/Single Step/Animate), supports up to three hardware breakpoints, enables peripheral freeze during debug halt, and delivers programmable target power with ±0.1 V regulation accuracy across 2.0–5.5 V range.

FAQ
What is the DV164035 used for in embedded development?
The DV164035 is the official MPLAB® ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger kit used to debug and program PIC® and dsPIC® microcontrollers directly on target hardware. It enables real-time code execution control, register and memory inspection, hardware breakpoint setting, and firmware programming - all within the MPLAB IDE environment. The DV164035 eliminates the need for separate emulators by using production silicon with integrated debug logic.
Does the DV164035 require external power or drivers?
No - the DV164035 is fully USB-powered and requires only standard Windows USB device drivers included with MPLAB IDE v8.15+. It draws power directly from the host PC's USB port and supplies regulated, programmable voltage (2.0–5.5 V) to the target board. No external power adapter or legacy RS-232 interface is needed, simplifying lab setup and field deployment of the DV164035.
Which microcontroller families does the DV164035 support?
The DV164035 supports Microchip's full portfolio of 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit MCUs: PIC12F/PIC16F/PIC18F (8-bit), dsPIC30F/dsPIC33F/PIC24F/H (16-bit), and PIC32MX (32-bit). Support includes full-speed emulation, peripheral freeze, hardware breakpoints, and enhanced debugging features - verified per device family in Microchip's DS51766A User's Guide and device-specific release notes for the DV164035.
How does the DV164035 differ from the MPLAB ICD 2?
The DV164035 replaces the MPLAB ICD 2 with USB 2.0 High-Speed connectivity, hardware acceleration, programmable target voltage, and elimination of the RS-232 interface. It offers faster programming speeds, broader device support (including PIC32MX), and improved real-time debugging features like stopwatch and pass counter - all while maintaining backward compatibility with existing ICD 2 cables and headers for the DV164035.
Can the DV164035 be used for production programming?
Yes - the DV164035 functions as both an in-circuit debugger and a production programmer for supported PIC® and dsPIC® devices. It performs reliable, repeatable device programming via ICSP™ or Enhanced ICSP™, including configuration bit programming and bulk erase. While optimized for development, its robust communication protocol and error-checking make the DV164035 suitable for low-volume production programming and engineering validation workflows.
