Product details
Overview
ATICE200 from Atmel is an in-circuit emulator designed for real-time hardware/software co-development of AVR 8-bit RISC microcontrollers, featuring electrical identity with target devices, 2.7–5.5V operation, unlimited breakpoints, and full on-chip resource access including Flash, EEPROM, registers, and SRAM.
For engineers reviewing the ATICE200 datasheet, ATICE200 pinout, ATICE200 application, or ATICE200 equivalent, this tool enables assembler/C source-level debugging, symbolic debugging, non-intrusive real-time emulation, and automatic configuration via AVR Studio on Windows 95/98/NT platforms.
Technical Context
The ATICE200 uses a dedicated AVR emulator chip to replicate target device behavior electrically and functionally, supporting all digital and analog on-chip peripherals. It interfaces exclusively via RS-232 serial port and requires no target power modification.
Emulation is fully integrated with AVR Studio IDE, enabling simultaneous multi-emulator use (limited only by available COM ports), automatic personality adapter selection for 8-/20-/28-/40-pin AVR devices, and field-upgradable firmware through the IDE.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Emulation Interface | RS-232 serial connection to host PC - enables direct integration with AVR Studio without USB or driver layer dependencies |
| Target Voltage Range | 2.7–5.5V - supports full voltage range of legacy AVR devices including AT90S and ATtiny families |
| Breakpoint Capacity | Unlimited software breakpoints - eliminates constraint on complex conditional debugging across large codebases |
| Debugging Level | Assembler and C source-level - provides line-by-line execution control and variable inspection during active runtime |
| On-chip Resource Access | Full read/write to Flash, EEPROM, register file, I/O, PC, internal/external SRAM - enables complete memory and state visibility without code instrumentation |
| Personality Adapters | Included for 8-pin, 20-pin, 28-pin, and 40-pin AVR packages - ensures mechanical and signal mapping compatibility across discrete pin-count variants |

FAQ
What is the primary interface used by the ATICE200 to connect to a host computer?
The ATICE200 connects to the host PC exclusively via RS-232 serial port. It does not support USB or parallel interfaces. This design ensures compatibility with legacy Windows 95/98/NT systems running AVR Studio, and eliminates dependency on custom drivers or OS-specific stack layers. The ATICE200 relies on standard COM port enumeration and communicates using a defined protocol handled natively by AVR Studio.
Which AVR microcontroller families are explicitly supported by the ATICE200?
The ATICE200 officially supports the ATtiny11, ATtiny12, AT90S1200, AT90S2313, AT90S2333, AT90LS2333, AT90S4414, AT90S4433, AT90LS4433, AT90S4434, AT90LS4434, AT90S8515, AT90S8535, and AT90LS8535. These are all early-generation 8-bit AVR devices with ISP or JTAG interfaces compatible with the ATICE200's emulation architecture.
Does the ATICE200 require external power for the target board during emulation?
No - the ATICE200 operates in a non-intrusive mode and does not supply power to the target system. Target AVR devices must be powered independently within their specified 2.7–5.5V range. The ATICE200 replicates electrical characteristics of the target device without altering its power domain, preserving real-world timing and noise behavior during debugging.
Can multiple ATICE200 units be used simultaneously with a single instance of AVR Studio?
Yes - AVR Studio supports concurrent use of multiple ATICE200 emulators, limited only by the number of available physical COM ports on the host PC. Each unit is individually addressable, allowing parallel debugging sessions across different target boards or device variants, which is especially useful in teaching labs or multi-engineer firmware teams.
Is firmware or software update capability built into the ATICE200?
Yes - the ATICE200 supports field-upgradable firmware via AVR Studio. Updates are delivered as binary images through the RS-232 interface and applied without requiring disassembly or external programming hardware. This ensures long-term usability as new AVR device variants or debugging features are added to the AVR Studio ecosystem, maintaining relevance of the ATICE200 throughout its lifecycle.
