Program mikroProg Suite for PIC™ is intended
for programming PIC®, dsPIC® and PIC32®
microcontrollers from Microchip®. The graphic
interface of this program is clear and easy-to-use,
which makes the use of this program faster. The
program’s main window includes basic options
for programming microcontrollers. In addition,
there are advanced programming options that
enable experienced users to set conguration
bits on their own. The program includes views
providing basic information about the selected
MCU, voltage monitoring, etc.

4. Powering device
via mikroProg
One of key benets on mikroProg is power supply mode which
can be activated from mikroProg Suite for PIC software. Under
mikroProg Suite for PIC window (MCU INFO button) you can set
power supply voltage in range from 1.8V to 5V with output current
up to 250mA. When you select MCU family under mikroProg Suite
for PIC window, mikroProg will automatically detect which MCU is
in use and it will set maximum power supply which can be used.
Voltage supply value can be set by moving slider under mikroProg
Suite for PIC window, Figure 4-1.
To enable power supply, rst set desired voltage and then click on
check box “Power board from programmer”. 01

5. Connecting with
a target device
For connection with a target device mikroProg for PIC uses IDC10
connector, Figure 5-1. In order to make proper connection with the
target board it is necessary to pay attention to IDC10 connector
pinout. Every pin has a dierent purpose and for easy orientation
IDC10 connector is marked with a little knob and incision, Figure
5- 2. First pin on IDC10 is marked with colored wire on a at cable.
Front side of IDC10 connector is marked with a knob and incision.
Front side holds PGC, PGD and MCLR pins which are used for
microcontroller programming.

These pins are used
for multiplexing (see
section 8.0 for more
information)

Page 14
Page 15
When connecting mikroProg with your device
via 1x5 header make sure to use front side of IDC10 connector (side with a knob and
incision), Figure 7-2. For example, if you use some of Mikroelektronika’s products
you may notice a clear markings for mikroProg IDC10
connector header, Figure 7-2.
For connecting mikroProg with your target device a best solution is to provide 1x5 or
2x5 male headers which are connected with programing pins on microcontroller.
When soldering header make sure that to use correct pinout for IDC10
connector.
7. Connection examples
Using 1x5 male headers
Figure 7-2: Connecting mikroProg to
SmartGLCD 128x240 via 1x5 male header
Figure 7-1: Use only front
row for programming

Page 14
Page 15
Instead of 1x5 male header you can use 2x5 male header.
Main dierence is that via 2x5 male connector you can use
multiplexing feature of mikroProg for PIC (explained in
section 8.0).

IDC10 connector for
multiplexing feature

8. Multiplexer
Multiplexer is specially designed circuit which serves as a switch.
Purpose of multiplexer is that there’s no need for disconnecting
mikroProg programmer from a device when programming is
over. Multiplexing is always available, but can only be used
with 2x5 male header on target board as shown on Figure 8-1.
Multiplexer allows the usage of programmable pins as I/O, in
non-programming mode.
While pins on MCU are separated from rest of the circuit
they can not be used as I/O. By connecting mikroProg to the
device programming is enabled and due to multiplexer when
programming is nished programmable pins can be used as I/O
without mikroProg removal, Figure 8-2.

During programming, the multiplexer disconnects the
microcontroller pins used for programming from the target
device. This enables the programming process to be safely
performed without aecting the operation of the device itself. It
also prevents external signals from aecting the programming
process. When the programming process has been completed,
the multiplexer releases the microcontroller pins used for
programming so that they can be used as I/O pins.
When the programming process has been completed, the
multiplexer releases the microcontroller pins used for
programming, thus enabling them to be used as I/O pins. This
also enables the programmer to remain connected to the target
device without aecting its operation.

Following examples demonstrate
connections with some of the most
popular supported MCUs. For all other
MCUs consult manufacturer’s datasheet.
All PIC, dsPIC and PIC32 MCUs use PGC, PGD
and MCLR/Vpp pins for programming. Some MCUs
have several groups of programming pins. For example
dsPIC33FJ128GP710A has three pairs of programmable
pins PGED1-PGEC1, PGED2-PGEC2 or PGED3-PGEC3 (MCLR/Vpp
pin is same for all pin groups). Which ever group of programming
pins you decide to use, make sure to connect each pin properly.

PGD - ICSP data

Also it is necessary to attach power supply to microcontroller VCC and GND pins.
