TOP       Concept

    The ICD PowerTools product line covers high-performance tools for harddware/software integration with high-speed 16 and 32-bit microcontrollers and cores.

    The debugger and trace system is driven by a high-speed powerpc with 260 MIPS performance and connected to USB or ETHERNET. Download speed up to 2 MByte/sec through JTAG interface is possible, the analyzer data can be uploaded with an effective data rate of 20 MByte/sec. by using 100 MHz Ethernet and compressing technologies.
