MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

MPLAB® X IDE is a software program that runs on a PC (Windows®, Mac OS®, Linux®) to develop applications for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. It is called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), because it provides a single integrated “environment” to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.

MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment brings many changes to the PIC® microcontroller development tool chain. Unlike previous versions of MPLAB® which were developed completely in-house, MPLAB® X is based on the open source NetBeans IDE from Oracle. Taking this path has allowed us to add many frequently requested features very quickly and easily while also providing us with a much more extensible architecture to bring you even more new features in the future.

MPLAB®X IDE Features


  • Provides a new Call Graph for navigating complex code
  • Supports Multiple Configurations within your projects
  • Supports Multiple Versions of the same compiler
  • Support for multiple Debug Tools of the same type
  • Supports Live Parsing
  • Import existing MPLAB® 8 projects and use either IDE for the same source
  • Supports hyperlinks for fast navigation to declarations and includes
  • Supports Live Code Templates
  • Supports the ability to enter File Code Templates with license headers or template code
  • MPLAB® X can Track Changes within your own system using local history
  • Within MPLAB® X, a user can configure their own Code Format Style
