PICKIT 3 In Circuit Programmer and Debugger

The PICKIT 3 allows programming and debugging of PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers using a powerful graphical user interface of MPLAB & MPLABX IDE. The Microchip's PICKIT 3 connects to the design engineer's  PC using high-speed USB interface and can be connected to the target using the standard 6-pin, 2.54 m.m female header or using a Microchip debug (RJ-11 connector) .  The connector uses two I/O pins, a reset line of the microcontroller to implement in-circuit debugging and In-circuit serial programming. The device comes with a mini USB cable.
