Microchip’s New Emulation System Supports PIC MCUs/DSCs November 01, 2006
Groomed for the company’s PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC digital-signal controllers, the MPLAB REAL ICE emulation system addresses the need for increased controller-memory speed and cable interconnection distances. It supports standard and advanced debugging facilities and is fully integrated into the MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE) for writing code, building projects, testing, verification, and programming. Leveraging the power of the MPLAB IDE, the emulation system integrates hardware and software application design tools to aid development and enable rapid application deployment within a consistent, unified framework. Other features include full-speed/real-time emulation, a ruggedized probe interface, legacy and high-speed connectivity, logic probe for external triggers, and trace execution and analysis. Price for the MPLAB REAL ICE (part # DV244005) is $499.98. MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC., Chandler, AZ. (888) 628-6247.
