MICROCHIP PM3 User Manual

MPLAB®PM3 Universal Device Programmer

Summary

The MPLAB PM3 Universal Device Programmer is easy to
use and operates with a PC or as a stand-alone unit, and
programs Microchip's entire line of PICmicro®devices as
well as the latest dsPIC30F DSC devices. The MPLAB PM3
features a large and bright LCD unit (128x64 pixels) to
display easy menus, programming statistics and status
information.

The MPLAB PM3 programmer has exceptional programming
speed to allow high production throughput, especially
important for large memory devices, and includes a Secure
Digital/Multimedia Card slot for easy and secure data
storage and transfer.

The MPLAB PM3 programmer is designed with 40
programmable socket pins, allowing each socket module to
be configured to support many different devices, requiring
fewer socket modules to support the entire line of
Microchip parts. The socket modules use multi-pin
connectors for high reliability and quick interchange. An
adapter allows current PROMATE®II socket modules to be
used on the MPLAB PM3 programmer.

When connected to a PC-host system either via a serial or
USB port, the MPLAB PM3 programmer is seamlessly
integrated with the MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) providing an exceptionally user-friendly
interface for the ultimate control during programming. The
MPLAB IDE includes a full-featured macro assembler,
powerful software simulator with symbolic debugger, color­coded programmer's editor, project manager, high-level
language debugging and support for Microchip and selected
third party development tools, including compilers, low-cost
in-circuit debuggers and full-featured in-circuit emulators.
