ST7-EMU3
Full-featured, real time emulator series for ST7
The ST7-EMU3 series of emulators is the third
generation of high-end emulators for ST7. EMU3
series emulators are designed to speed up the
development of complex software applications for
ST7 microcontrollers by providing a complete
range of advanced debugging features. In
combination with ST7 Visual Develop (STVD7)
and ST7 Visual Programmer (STVP7), they
provide start-to-finish control of application
development – from building and debugging
applications, to programming your ST7.
The EMU3 series emulators deliver start-to-finish
control by providing both emulation and In-Circuit
Communication (ICC) configurations from a single
platform.
In the emulation configuration, the EMU3 probe
and STVD7 software allow debugging while
connected an application board in place of the
target ST7. This configuration offers the most
complete range of debugging features, including
trace, advanced breakpoints and performance
analysis. In addition, the EMU3 comes with all the
adapters and connectors to connect to the
application board in place of the target ST7.
The ICC configuration allows In-Circuit Debugging
(ICD) of the application while it runs on the ST7
that is installed on your application board. Once
debugging is completed, the ICC configuration
allows In-Circuit Programming (ICP) of ST7 Flash
microcontrollers on your application board or an
ST7 Socket Board.
Key features
Emulation Features
■Unlimited breakpoints with counter and
condition
■Two output triggers
■Nine external input triggers
■256K real-time trace recording with timestamp
■Memory read/write on the fly
■Low voltage emulation from 1.8 to 5.5 V
■Programmable clock frequency from 32 KHz
up to 16 MHz
■Performance Analysis
■Four-level logic sequencer that allows you to
perform specific actions such as:
– Stop program execution
– Start/stop trace recording,
– Record a snapshot in the trace,
– Output signals via the two output triggers
These actions can be coordinated with the
occurrence of a specific event or a series of
events such as:
– an event at an address or range of
addresses,
– a specific data value with bit mask,
– a read, write or read/write access,
– stack operation access
...or any combination of these.

In-circuit debugging features
The EMU3 series emulators and the STVD7 integrated development environment also allow
you to in-circuit debug your application as it runs on an ST7 with debug modules.
ICD features include:
In-circuit programming features
The EMU3 series emulators along with STVP7, or STVD7 software, allow you to in-circuit
program and in-circuit debug ST7 devices with Flash memory. Refer to the
ST7-EMU3 User
Manual
for complete instructions about using the ICC Add-on and installing an ICC
connector on your application board.
Emulator architecture
■Real-time control of application execution
■Read and write memory contents and ST7
registers
■Configuration of option the byte
■Unlimited software breakpoints in address
ranges corresponding to RAM and XFlash
memory
■Advanced breakpoints including:
– Break on data access in/outside of
address range or at one of two addresses
– Break on data value at an address
– Break on opcode fetch (within/
outside of address range
– Break on sequential opcode fetch's
– Break on opcode fetch, or data
access at specified addresses
– Break on conditional stack write, or
opcode fetch at specified address
– Break on conditional stack write, or
data access at specified address
Figure 1: System configurations
ST Micro Connect – provides the
communication interface with host
PC via parallel, USB or Ethernet
connection in both the Emulation
and ICC configurations.
EMU3 Probe – contains the
system’s emulation boards including
the Target Emulation Board (TEB),
which allows emulation of a specific
ST7 or sub-family of ST7 devices. It
connects to the application board
via furnished, package-specific
adapters and sockets.
ICC Add-on – allows the
communication between the host
PC and the ST7 microcontroller with
Flash memory on the application
board for in-circuit debugging and
in-circuit programming. This
requires installation of a 10-pin, ICC
connector on the application board. In-Circuit Communication

ST7 Visual Develop – Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that runs on the host PC
connected to the emulator and allows you to build and debug application software and then
program it to the target ST7.
ST7 Visual Programmer – Software programming interface that runs on the host PC
connected to the emulator and provides advanced controls for reading, programming and
verifying the Flash memory of the target ST7.
