Full speed emulation is supported at the 5V level, 33MHz for the PIC17 devices and 20MHz for the PIC16 members. When emulating at 3.2V, the speed will be lower as noted in the table on the right. The internal oscillator in the RICE-17A allows users to debug code without having a target board connected to the emulator. A DOS debugger is also available on our web site for DOS and Win3.1 users. The IDE user interface is so intuitive that there is no learning curve to the system.
Users can be up and running within minutes.
All information regarding the PIC micro-controller and the application is available right on the screen. It provides separate windows to examine source code, program memory, data memory, special file registers, watch variables, program stack and trace memory. Saves debug environment including layout, breakpoints, watches, triggers, etc. To reach the maximum real-time emulation speeds mentioned above the 5V operating voltage must be selected. The 17C76X plugs will not be available until February.
