Support summary

• Programming - Yes
• Debugging provisions - Yes

ICSP Connection

dsPIC33AK128MC106 has more than one pair of PGECx and PGEDx pins. You can use any pair, but you must use them as a pair. For example, if PGEC2 is used for ICSPCLK, then ICSPDAT must be connected to PGED2.

All VSS and VDD pins must be connected. Even if one of these pins is not connected, programming may fail.

Programming Benchmarks

We have measured time necessary to program and verify dsPIC33AK128MC106.

Operation	NSDSP version x06 or later	Earlier versions
Programming and Verification	2.9s	6.7s
Programming only	2.7s	2.8s
Verification only	2.4s	4.0s

The measurements reflect the time necessary to program/verify the entire chip, including all user programmable memory areas.

Debugging

NSDSP firmware contains all the necessary provisions for debugging dsPIC33AK128MC106 and may be debugged when debugging software becomes available.

dsPIC33AK128MC106 uses unordered halting, has 10 hardware breakpoints.

Debugging does not consume resources in the user space.
