Direct Insight in UK - In-Circuit emulator for Atmel

Moorpark, CA - April 18, 2001 - Signum Systems, manufacturer of embedded system development tools, has announced full emulation support for Atmel Wireless & µC T89C51CC01 family of microcontrollers. POD51CC01 in combination with Signum's USP-51A In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) provides completely transparent emulation of the C51CC01 at the device's maximum clock rate of 40 MHz.

The USP-51A ICE base unit supports virtually all the 8051 silicon vendors including Atmel, Atmel Wireless & Microcontrollers, Dallas Semiconductor, Infineon, Intel, OKI, Philips, TDK and Texas Instruments. With the POD51CC01, USP-51A emulator will be able to support all T89C51CC01 family devices equipped with CAN 2.0A/2.0B interface, 10-bit A/D converter, five PWM outputs, 2KB EEPROM, 2KB Boot Flash, 32KB program memory Flash (or external 64K memory) in addition to the standard 8051 peripherals. The emulator is equipped with a complex breakpoint logic, including event counters and sequencers. It also has a 32K deep and 80 bit wide real-time trace buffer with time stamp that allows pre- and post-capture filtering as well as measuring execution times with 100ns accuracy.

The emulator includes Chameleon Debugger, which runs under Windows¨ 95, 98, NT and 2000. It supports all popular 8051 C-compilers at the source level with the latest advanced software debugging and verification tools like: variable pop-ups, drag & drop, pass-points, performance analysis, coverage analysis, code scope and register breakpoints. Chameleon Debugger also supports remote debugging via TCP/IP compatible networks which allows sharing of the emulator with any workstation on the local (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN).

The USP-51A and POD51CC01 are available now starting at $5,295 and $1,695, respectively.
