Description
The MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows fast and easy debugging and programming of PIC and dsPIC flash microcontrollers, using the powerful graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), version 4.15.
The MPLAB PICkit 4 programs faster than its predecessor PICkit3. Along with a wider target voltage, the PICkit 4 supports more advanced interfaces.
An additional micro SD card slot and the ability to be self-powered from the target means you can take your code with you and program on the go.*, and never worry about the code size.
Features
8-pin single in-line header (compatible with ICSP/2-wire JTAG/4-wire JTAG/SWD)
Matches silicon clocking speed, programs as fast as the device will allow
Wide target voltage (1.20V~5.5V)
Can be powered from the target (2.7V~5.5V)
- Minimal current consumption at <100µA from target
Powered by a high-speed USB 2.0, no external power required
- Can supply up to 50mA of power to the target through USB
The firmware is continually being upgraded to add support for new devices
Programmer-to-Go (PTG) support*
- SD card slot to holds program data
- Press on the logo to program the target
CE and RoHS compliant
Software Requirements
MPLAB X IDE version 4.15 or later
Microsoft Windows 7 or later, Mac OSX and Linux operating systems
Programs code files generated by MPLAB IDE
Supported Devices
If you have MPLAB X IDE installed, you can browse to the "docs" folder under your MPLAB X installation directory and open the file "Device Support.htm". you can download it from official website

- Part Number: PICkit 5 (PICkit4 DISCONTINUED)
- PICkit 5 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer, Programmer-to-Go support, Type-C port, Supports MPLAB, Card Programmer
- Connects to computer via a USB Type-C cable. Powered through USB cable or target and can optionally power target (up to 150 mA). Supports powering from the target board (2.7V~5.5V)
- Onboard 8pin SIL programming connector, supports ICSP, JTAG, SWD, UART VCP. Programs devices using MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IPE. Supports Programmer-To-Go (PTG) to field program devices
- Supports MPLAB PTG iOS/Android app used to select and manage PTG program images via Bluetooth. Supports Virtual Comm Port (VCOM). Supports multiple hardware and software breakpoints, allows setting stopwatch and monitoring variables and internal file registers. Supports debugging in real-time and at full device operational speed
- Supports new devices and features through new/updated packs in MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IPE. Indicates debugger status via indicator light strip. CE and RoHS compliant
- Compared to the PICkit 4, it can be used stand-alone with the MPLAB Programmer-to-Go (PTG) mobile app, allowing you to connect to the tool from your smartphone via Bluetooth for easier and more flexible visual offline programming operations. It is capable of providing up to 150mA to the target board via the onboard USB Type-C port.
- Supports Programmer-to-Go (PTG), with an additional MicroSDHC card slot and the ability to be self-powered from the target means you can take your code with you and program on the go, and never worry about the code size.
