This MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC® and dsPIC® Flash microcontrollers at the most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to the design engineer's PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via an Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2, MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). Alternatively, the UIC-A will do the conversion from PICKIT 3 to UIC00B or even to ICD 2 standard connection. The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming.

Features:

    USB (Full speed 12 Mbits/s interface to host PC)
    Real-time execution
    MPLAB IDE compatible (free copy included)
    Built-in over-voltage/short circuit monitor
    Firmware upgradeable from PC/web download
    Totally enclosed
    Supports low voltage to 2.0 volts (2.0v to 6.0v range)
    Diagnostic LEDs (power, busy, error)
    Read/write program and data memory of microcontroller
    Erase of program memory space with verification
    Freeze-peripherals at breakpoint
    Program up to 512K byte flash with the Programmer-to-Go
 

Packing List:

1 PICKIT3
1 USB cable
1 MPLAB IDE CD
1 6pin cable
** No driver required.

WARNING! 
Please do not press PICkit 3's Programmer-To-Go button when it has no image loaded and is connected to PIC32 (or SKPIC32). The PIC32 chip may be bricked that way and is unrecoverable. Many has confirmed that it destroys PIC32 chips. Please read this Microchip forum thread for more info.
