ST7-DVP3 ® Low Cost, Real Time Emulator Series for ST7 DATA BRIEF The ST7-DVP3 series emulator is the third generation of low cost emulators, providing powerful, affordable development solutions that included everything you need for real-time emulation, In-Circuit Debugging (ICD) and InCircuit Programming (ICP) of your ST7 microcontroller. Parallel Cable USB Cable Power Supply In combination with ST7 Visual Develop (STVD7) and ST7 Visual Programmer (STVP7), the DVP3 series emulators allow you to build and debug your application, then program it to the ST7 on your application board. STVD7 and STVP7 are free software tools developed by ST Microelectronics. The ST7-DVP3 series emulators offer start-to-finish control of application development by providing both emulation and In-Circuit Communication (ICC) configurations from a single platform. 10-pin ICC Cable In the emulation configuration, the DVP3 emulator and STVD7 software allow you to debug your program while connected to your application board in place of your target ST7. Device Adapters The ICC configuration allows you to In-Circuit Debug (ICD) your application while it runs on the ST7 on your application board, and to In-Circuit Program (ICP) your ST7 microcontrollers. Target Emulation Board – Allows the system to emulate a specific family of ST7 devices. It connects to your application board via the adapters and sockets furnished in Connection kits, which are specific to the package of the target device. Emulator Architecture For affordability and flexibility, the DVP3 series emulators have a modular design based on a common Main Emulation Board and ST7 familyspecific Target Emulation Boards. Main Emulation Board – Provides the communication interface with the host PC via parallel or USB connection when working in both the Emulation and ICC configurations. Any Main Emulation Board for the DVP3 series can be adapted to emulate a supported ST7 with the appropriate Target Emulation Board and Connection kit. This board also includes the system’s ICC connection, which allows you to connect to the ST7 on your application board via a 10-pin ICC cable and an ICC connector that you install on your application board. February 2005 Figure 1: ST7-DVP3 Emulator Connection Kits – Provide the package-specific adapters and sockets/connectors that allow connection to your application board in place of the target ST7. ST7 Visual Develop – Integrated development environment (IDE) that runs on the host PC connected to the emulator and allows you to build and debug your application software and then program it to your target ST7. ST7 Visual Programmer – Software programming interface that runs on the host PC connected to the emulator and allows you to program the application to your ST7. Version 1.0 1/3 ST7-DVP3 Emulation Features In the emulation configuration the ST7-DVP3 emulator provides a complete range of debugging features, including: ● Real-time debugging ● 512 record trace with filtering capability ● Up to 64 Kbytes of breakpoints with counter and condition ● Emulation at 3.3 or 5 V ● Programmable Clock frequency up to 16 MHz ● Output trigger ● ● External input trigger Hardware Test feature for emulator troubleshooting Ordering a DVP series emulator Because of the modularity of the DVP3 series emulators it is possible to order just the components that you need to emulate your target ST7, including: ● DVP3 emulator – ST7MDTxx-DVP3 part numbers are for ordering an emulator and target emulation board. DVP3 emulators do not include connection kits for all supported packages. ● Target Emulation Board (TEB) – when adapting a DVP3 to emulate another ST7 family, the ST7MDTxx-TEB/DVP part numbers are for ordering the appropriate TEB. The TEB does not include connection kits for all supported packages. ● Adapter kit – ST7MDTxx-xxx/DVP part numbers are for ordering the package-specific Adapter kits for a DVP3. Main Emulation Board Target Emulation Board ST7MDTxx-DVP3 ST7MDTxx-TEB/DVP ST7MDTxx-xxx/DVP Adapter kit Note: Sockets are provided in the connection kits. However, socket part numbers (AS-xxxx) can be used to order additional or replacement sockets as required.
