16F723A issue

[DemonicSandwich]

Does anyone know if the 16F723A can be used with the PICkit 2?
According to this **broken link removed** the PICkit 2 supports the 16F723A.

However when I boot up the PICkit2 App, the device comes up as "Unsupported Part (ID=1B00)", and when I select Manual Device selection, it does not appear in the drop down box.

According to my MPLAB Configure/Select Device list, NO. It is not supported by PICkit 2.

Why would it be listed in the support list on their site when it really offers no support for it?

It's probably supported by the standalone PICkit2 software.

It's probably supported by the standalone PICkit2 software.

Not on mine it isn't. Possibly a later edition?

I actually was using the standalone software as MPLAB doesn't allow me to load the PICkit2 as the programmer when the project uses a 16F723A.

I thought the issue with the standalone software was due to outdated Application and Device File versions as they were indeed out of date.
However after updating them (to 2.61.00 and 1.62.03 respectively) the result did not change.

I find it under manual selection, Midrange/1.8V Min. Not where you would expect it at all, seems like a Microchip goof.

Edit: O.K. I see the data sheet does say its voltage range is 1.8V-5.0V , so not a goof.

Huh, I now find it in that last. I checked it before updating the device file but not after.
Thanks for that revelation!
