The image above displays fully assembled emulator. This is a "sandwich-style" palm-size header formed by three stacked-up boards: main board, pod, and adapter (from top to bottom).


    • Real-time, non-intrusive emulation of the XE8000 family microcontrollers: XE8801A, XE8802, XE8805A, XC8806A and XE8807A (earlier these devices had p/n's with the 'LC' after the XE88 prefix)
    • Uses bond-out chips from Semtech (XEMICS) for accurate emulation up to Fmax (6 MHz for XE88LC06A)
    • Up to 256K Words (by 22 bits) of program memory. Actual memory size depends on the particular target microcontroller. 8K Words (by 22 bits) are provided for the XE8806
    • Up to 256K Bytes of data memory. Actual memory size depends on the particular target microcontroller. 640 Bytes are provided for the XE88LC06
    • Up to 256K true hardware breakpoints at code memory address access.
    • Up to 256K true hardware breakpoints at data and SFR memory address access for read, write or read/write operations.
    • Four complex breakpoints and triggers
    • 16K frames x 120-bit real-time tracer with programmable filters
    • Several modes of trace recording: synchronies, forward, reverse and dynamic
    • "On-the-fly" access to the code memory, shadow memory, breakpoints, tracer and timer
    • 48-bit timer provides timing and clock frequency measurement with 0.1% accuracy
    • Software programmable clock generator - from 1 KHz to max. frequency with 0.5% accuracy
    • Programmable regulator precisely auto-adjusts to the target's voltage level (1.2 V to 5.5 V) and allows working alone at 1.2 V to 5.5 V settable with +/-20 mV accuracy
    • Trace cable with 8 micro hooks for entering signals to be traced and two hooks for outputting triggers
    • High-speed host link via USB or serial PC port, opto-isolated for extra protection
    • Palm size 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 2" (95 x 65 x 50 mm), "sandwich-style" emulator header enclosed into a light plastic or metal case
    • Source level debugging and project-level support for the GNU assembler and C compiler - editing, compiling, debugging in one development IDE Project-XE
    • Embedded C-like script language for automated testing and custom commands
    • ChipProg+ universal programmer controlled from the Project IDE can be supplied optionally
