Real-Time Emulation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ZiLOG’s ICEBOX™ in-circuit emulators are interactive,
Windows-oriented development tools providing a real-time
environment for developing and debugging software. The
ICEBOX™ provides a hardware platform that is a signifi-
cant improvement compared to software simulators, which
are slower in operation and less practical than emulators for
code development.
The Z90259 Emulator, which supports the Z9025X/26X
family of Digital Television Controllers (DTC), provides
essential timing and I/O circuitry to simplify user emulation
of the prototype hardware and software product.
The Z90259 Emulator can be connected to a serial port
(COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4) of the host computer.
Interaction between the host computer and the emulator is
initiated using the provided Graphical User Interface (GUI)
software.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED (NOT SUPPLIED)
•
A source of power (+4.75 VDC to 5.25 VDC Max [+5.0
VDC typical]) for the emulator. This can be a laboratory
power supply with supply current of 1.5 A. To purchase
a power supply from ZiLOG, use the following order
number: ZPS05V00ZAC.
•
A Target Design. Typically, this design is a wire-
wrapped or printed-circuit prototype that includes a
socket for the target device. To program the device, sim-
ply plug the emulation cable from the emulator into the
target device, run the GUI software, and initiate a pro-
gramming session.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL ITEMS (NOT SUPPLIED)
