sadat007 said:Hi
A general question to all for all PIC programmers and specially PK2 5V version can I connect it to a self powered 3V target board.
Thanks

Are they something to do with debugging ?

Before you connect both, please check the VPP, make sure it is under the spec of your microcontroller. For most chips, the VPP has a wide range, but you don't want to send a over-voltage to the uc when programmming.sadat007 said:Hi

For PK2 I have some questions hope one of u may answer!
1. Can I use 18f2553?

I've been looking at your schematic and the original PICKIT 2 schematic and I have noticed that the MCLR pin only goes to the ICSP connector
Is that correct I thought that they needed a 4K7 resistor to VDD for it to work
or is it like the PIC16F628 where you can turn mclr off ?

Hi wizpic,
It is very good of you for noticing this kind of small detail. Please check the attached configuration bit for 18F2550 (the line is highlighted).
When mclr bit is turn off, it is only used as VPP pin on the PICkit2 design. That explains why it works.
I believe this is a relatively "new" feature on most of the "recent released" PICs.
The PIC18F2553 should work, anybody tried?sadat007 said:Hi

1. Can I use 18f2553?
2. Please upload/point me the simplest pk2 that u tested.
3. Can I use variable VDD with lm317 and fixed VPP to make a simplest PK2?
4. VDD also fixed with option for other VDD like 3V will be provided on the target board its self.
5. What happed for the data and clock pins if PK2 rinning on 5V and target running on 3V?
thanks
