XEMICS And PHYTON join forces to create an In-Circuit-Emulator     Neuchâtel, Switzerland and Mountain View, CA December 17, 2001       XEMICS and Phyton today announced the launch of the first In-Circuit-Emulator (ICE) for the XE8000 microcontrollers series and Sensing Machines. The ICE makes it easier to develop, test and debug software for the XE8000 microcontrollers series and Sensing Machines. It contains all the necessary software and hardware, including the integrated development environment with full project support, assembler, C-compiler, simulator, debugger, linker, and tiny emulator header to fit directly into the target application. The ICE features non-intrusive emulation at full processor speed, self adjustable voltage regulator 1.2 V to 5.5 V, full size program and data memory mapped with one word resolution, 64k true hardware program and data breakpoints, intelligent breakpoint processor, 8 probe inputs, 4 trigger outputs, trace buffer, and programmable clock generator. ''The ICE is a fantastic tool for embedded software developers,'' said Michel Chevroulet, Product Marketing Manager for the XE8000 series. ''It makes very fast design possible while minimizing risks.'' ''It is an excellent complement to our other development tools for designers using our XE8000 products in low-power sensing, home automation and radio applications''. ABOUT PHYTON Phyton has 12 years experience in designing and supplying high-performance development tools for embedded microcontrollers used by electronic engineers and programmers in the industrial control, communications, computer, and consumer electronic industries. Phyton's development tools support the 8- and 16-bit embedded microcontrollers of semiconductor industry leaders.
