1.4 MPLAB ICE System Components
The MPLAB ICE system consists of these items (Figure 1.1):
1. Emulator pod
2. Parallel cable to connect the emulator pod to a PC
3. Power supply cable
4. Processor module with cable
5. Device adapter to connect the processor module to the transition socket
6. Transition socket to connect device adapter to target system
7. Logic probe connector
Figure 1.1: MPLAB ICE Emulator System
The emulator pod connects to the PC through a parallel port using the
provided cable. It contains the hardware necessary to perform the common
emulator functions, such as trace, break and emulate.
The processor module inserts into a slot in the front of the emulator pod. It
contains the hardware necessary to emulate a specific device or family of
devices.
The device adapter is located at the end of the processor module’s cable. It
connects to the transition socket. The transition socket connects directly to
the target system.
A logic probe connector is also available. Logic probes may be connected
here, or individual jumper leads may be used to connect to individual
connector pins. See Appendix B for more information on the connector and
logic probes.
