25.2.4 MPLAB ICE 4000 In-Circuit Emulator
The MPLAB ICE 4000 In-Circuit Emulator will provide the product development engineer with a
complete hardware design tool for the dsPIC devices. Software control of the emulator will be
provided by MPLAB IDE.
The MPLAB ICE 4000 will be a full-featured emulator system with enhanced trace, trigger and
data monitoring features. Interchangeable processor modules will allow the system to be easily
reconfigured for emulation of different processors.
The MPLAB ICE 4000 will support the extended, high-end PICmicro microcontrollers, the
PIC18CXXX and PIC18FXXX devices, as well as the dsPIC Family of digital signal controllers.
The modular architecture of the MPLAB ICE 4000 in-circuit emulator will allow expansion to
support new devices.
The MPLAB ICE 4000 in-circuit emulator system has been designed as a real-time emulation
system, with advanced features that are generally found on more expensive development tools.
Features will include:
• Full speed emulation, up to 50 MHz bus speed or 200 MHz external clock speed
• Low voltage emulation down to 1.8 volts
• Configured with 2 Mb program emulation memory; additional modular memory up to 16 Mb
• 64K x 136-bit wide Trace Memory
• Unlimited software breakpoints
• Complex break, trace and trigger logic
• Multi-level trigger up to 4 levels
• Filter trigger functions to trace specific event
• 16-bit Pass counter for triggering on sequential events
• 16-bit Delay counter
• 48-bit time-stamp
• Stopwatch feature
• Time between events
• Statistical performance analysis
• Code coverage analysis
• USB and parallel printer port PC connection
