Emulator takes on high-end
PIC MCUs and DSPs
The MPLAB ICE 4000 provides full-speed low-voltage emulation, interchangeable processor modules and device adapters and offers advanced features normally found on more expensive development tools
Microchip's new MPLAB in-circuit emulator 4000 provides full-speed low-voltage emulation, interchangeable processor modules and device adapters and offers advanced features normally found on more expensive development tools. Designed to support Microchip's high-end PIC18F Flash PICmicro microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers, MPLAB ICE 4000 consists of an emulator pod, processor module, device adapter and transition socket.

The interchangeable components allow the system to be easily configured to emulate many different PICmicro microcontrollers.
MPLAB ICE 4000 also includes Microchip's MPLAB Integrated Development Environment featuring MPASM assembler, MPLAB programmer's editor, symbolic debugger and project manager with built-in support for high level language debugging.
MPLAB ICE 4000 offers real-time in-circuit emulation and low-voltage emulation down to 1.8V.
Features include a 64K deep by 216bit wide trace memory, up to 2Mbyte overlay memory, a 48bit time stamp, stopwatch and unlimited breakpoints.
Triggers and breakpoints can be set on single, multiple, or sequences of events, and complex triggering provides sophisticated trace analysis and precision breakpoints.
A fully transparent trace analyser captures real-time execution addresses, op-codes and read/writes of external data.
It also traces all file register RAM usage showing internal addresses and data transfers, as well as all access to special function registers, including I/O pins, timers, and peripherals.
MPLAB ICE 4000, which has a USB interface and is Parallel Interface, supports code coverage profiling on program memory accesses.
Available today, the MPLAB ICE 4000 emulator kit costs $2560 and the processor module for the PIC18F6620, PIC18F6720, PIC18F8620 and PIC18F8720 devices (PMF18WA0) is $595.
An MPLAB ICE 4000 device adapter (DAF18-1) is available for $225.
A processor module for the PIC18C601 and PIC18C801 devices (PMF18WB1) and additional device support are scheduled to become available in Q2 2003.
