Hey,
I want to program PIC18F66J60,
This is a 3.3V PIC MCU.
my PICKIT2 clone is able to provide only 5V signals on PGD and PGC, and 5V MCLR as well (for 3.3V PICs).
It can program only those 3.3V PICs which have 5V-tolerant PGD/PGC pins.
BUT: I can't find any information if PGD/PGC pins of PIC18F66J60 are 5V tolarent!
Can anyone help me? I'm not so good at reading the datasheets. Can I program PIC18F66J60 with 5V levels on PGD/PGC?
Thanks in advance!
According to the data sheet, all PORTB pins are 5V tolerant so you shouldn't damage the device but whether or not it will program correctly with the signals above VDD isn't made clear. This is a good example of reasons not to use clone programmers! The real Pickit2 has programmable voltages.
