MetaLink
Corporation has introduced support for the DS80C410 Network
Microcontroller from Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim.
The 8-bit DS80C410 MCU is based on an improved version of the
Dallas' High Speed 80C51 core architecture, which includes a flat 16 Mbyte
address space. This communications intensive microcontroller includes a
10/100 Ethernet MAC, three serial ports, a CAN 2.0B controller, 1-Wire
Master, 64 I/O pins, and 64 Kbytes of on-chip SRAM.
An on-chip ROM supports a network boot capability (Ethernet or
serial), implements UDP, TCP, DHCP, ICMP and IGMP and provides a TCP
IPv4/IPv6 network stack. The ROM
also includes a preemptive, priority-based task scheduler to simplify
multi-channel communications applications.
Support for the DS80C410 device will be provided by the MetaICE XF
family of emulators starting at $4000. MetaLink
is now accepting orders. Delivery is four weeks ARO.
The
MetaICE XF is state of the art in 8051 emulator design with its
combination of a small footprint, high speed and attractive features for a
modest cost, providing a great value.
The MetaICE XF is one of the smallest full-featured emulators on
the market, measuring just 3.3" (8,4 cm) by 3.0" (7,6 cm).
The DS410 MetaICE XF emulator includes the following standard
features:
- 2
MByte Code Memory / 2 MByte External Data Memory
- 512
K Frames of Trace Memory with Time Stamp
- SFR
Write Data in Trace Memory
- Hardware
Breakpoints
- Full
support of the on-chip ROM functions and capabilities
- Up
to 40MHz CPU operation
The
SFR Write Data is a unique feature of the MetaLink emulator.
This feature captures in the emulator's trace memory every direct
data write to an SFR (Special Function Register) in real time.
It provides unparalleled visibility into the internal data flow of
the program's execution, which significantly enhances the debug
capabilities of the emulator and the productivity of the engineer.
The
DS80C410 contains Enhanced Hooks, a MetaLink patented emulation technology
licensed to Dallas Semiconductor. Many
of the DS410 MetaICE XF emulator's unique and powerful characteristics are
a result of Enhanced Hooks being embedded in the DS80C410 microcontroller.
MetaLink
Corporation is a leading manufacturer of high-quality, high-performance,
cost-effective in-circuit emulators for embedded control designs. Founded in 1984, the company has many significant achievements in
in-circuit emulator technology, including the invention and widespread
adaptation of Enhanced Hooks, a patented technology that eliminated the
need for bond-out chips for most 8051 devices. Enhanced Hooks has been
licensed by most major 8051 semiconductor companies.
