Can I program all PIC devices with an ICSP cable ?

PIC Programming Device

Hello !

I'm working on a trainer board, i want all to be very modular, so i can place in the 18/28/40 pin socket any chip i want. By now i am doing a board which is an adapter from RS232 to ICSP (using JDM sch), so my question is...

Can i program all PIC devices with an ICSP cable ?

I have been reading the specs, and pic16, pic18, dspic are available to be programmed with a ICSP protocol. Is this correct ?

Thanks !

yes most microchip mcu are supported ISCP

yes but not all PICs have ICSP capabilities. the reason is that adopting ICSP is a choice for the designer. its up to him if he wants to waste a couple of pins for in circuit programming or not.

Hi System.out,

[q]Can i program all PIC devices with an ICSP cable ?[/q]

There answer is YES!

BUT You will be able to Debug[/] Only the PIC that support ICSP. All the rest you can program them, but then you will have to remove the cable so the program will run.
Good luck.
