PICE In Circuit Emulator

• Real-time non-intrusive emulation for selected 8051 microcontrollers;
• Tiny emulator header that plugs directly into a target socket – 95x70x40 mm;
• Connects to a PC USB or serial port;
• Up to 2M bytes program memory & 512K data memory (64K + 64K by default);
• Memory banking – up to 32 banks by 64K;Memory mapping between the ICE and target with 256 bytes resolution;
• Up to 1M true hardware breakpoints at Program memory and memory access breakpoints;
• Up to 1M true hardware breakpoints at Xdata memory access for Read & Write;
• Breakpoints on access to on-chip data memories: SFRs, direct data memory, on-chip Xdata, etc.;
• 4 complex breakpoints / triggers;
• Up to 64K frame deep by 128 bit wide trace buffer (16K x 128K by default);
• Trace cable with 8 micro hooks for entering signals and two hooks for outputting triggers;
• Precisely programmable clock generator;
• 48-bit on-board timer;
• Shadow RAM provides target device RAM real-time access without disturbing emulation;
• “On-the-fly” access to the memory, breakpoints, tracer, and timer;
• Memory coverage feature enables finding “dead” code;
• Precisely controlled voltage regulator 2.0 to 5.5V range;

• Project-level support for the Phyton assembler and C compilers from Keil, IAR and Raisonance;
• Source-level debugging for all popular C compilers and assemblers;

There are three main board configurations:

• MR2-52-03U – provides emulation for 64K code + 64K data memory, does not support external memory banking;
• MR2-52-05U – provides emulation for 1M code + 448K data memory, supports external memory banking.
• MR2-52-06U – provides emulation for 2M code + 448K data memory, supports external memory banking.

A POD or a daughter module is built around an execution processor that emulates a behavior of the target MCU being under control of the loaded application program. PICE-52 can be equipped with a variety of changeable PR2-52-xxx pods.

An Adapter provides mechanical connection of the emulator pod to the target board. It plugs directly to a DIP-40, PLCC-44 or QFP-44 target socket.

Phyton has been producing and selling 8051 in-circuit emulators for more than 20 years and keep selling them nowadays. To check if our 8051 emulators support your target device and would like to get a quote, please email your inquiry to info@phyton.com. Your request should include the following information about the target device and your development environment:

• Silicon manufacturer (for example: Atmel, NXP, Microchip, etc.);
• Device part number (for example: AT89C52ED2, SST89E516RD2, etc.);
• Mechanical chip package (for example: DIP 40-pin, PLCC 44-pin, etc.);
• Whether your target board has an external memory and, if so, its memory structure;
• A compiler brand, if used for project management.

We will be sure to respond to your request promptly.
