The Apex-ICE
T M
system is a Universal Serial Bus (USB)-based DSP emulator. This
emulator provides a portable solution designed to support Analog Devices (ADI)
J TAG DSPs. The Apex-ICE emulator provides a simple, efficient method to connect
the DSP emulator to today's desktop or laptop PCs via a USB port. The simple plug-
and-play arc h i t e c t u re of USB allows the Apex-ICE to be automatically detected and
c o n f i g u red by the host operating system. It can also be connected and disconnect-
ed from the host without opening the PC or turning off the power to the PC. A five
meter (15 foot) cable connects the Apex-ICE to the host PC, thus providing abun-
dant accessibility.
As a bonus, customers in an environment that does not allow them to open their
PCs without IS support will find the Apex-ICE eliminates the need to obtain that help,
and thus can be easily moved from the lab, to the local desktop, to the laptop.
Available software is ADI's Vi s u a l D S P + +
T M
development environment. Software is
sold separately.

Analog Devices' DSP Tools Product Line
C R O S S C O R E
T M
, Analog Devices' DSP development tools product line,
p rovides easier and more robust methods for engineers to develop and
optimize DSP systems by shortening product development cycles for
faster time-to-market.
The CROSSCORE components include the VisualDSP++ software
development environment, EZ-KIT Lite
T M
evaluation systems, and
emulators for rapid on-chip debugging. VisualDSP++ is an integrated
s o f t w a re development environment allowing for fast and easy develop-
ment, debug, and deployment. Emulators are available for PCI and
USB host platforms. The EZ-KIT Lite evaluation system provides an
easy way to investigate the power of the ADI's family of DSPs to devel-
op applications.
Analog Devices is committed to continuous expansion of leading-edge
development solutions for DSP design engineers every w h e re.
