Overview

MIRAGE-NC2 and MIRAGE-NP2 are the next generation revolutionary single- and dual-channel universal JTAG/MPSD emulators for all TI TMS320 DSP platforms for host notebook, desktop and industrial PC with PCMCIA PC Card (CardBus) expansion interface (slots).

MIRAGE-NP2 is compatible with PCMCIA 16-bit PC Card standard, whereas MIRAGE-NC2 meets PCMCIA 32-bit CardBus specifications and is x2..x4 times faster than MIRAGE-NP2.

The industry’s longest 2 meter (6.6 ft) pod-to-emulator connection cable, universal JTAG/MPSD('C3x) pod (UniPod), support for target 0.5v..5v power voltage, programmable 0.5MHz..30MHz JTAG clock, fast JTAG/MPSD upload/download speed and RTDX, embedded target diagnostic, ultra-compact and ultra-light weight design, and simple Plug-and-Play installation make MIRAGE-Nxx an ultimate ‘all-in-one’ emulation and diagnostic tool and ‘must have’ instrument for all DSP hardware and software engineers for both mobile and desktop workstations.

MIRAGE-Nxx are the first to integrate a universal JTAG/MPSD emulator with target diagnostic features such as measurement of target power voltage and scan-path clock frequency thus saving the user effort and time in debugging target DSP devices.

Maintaining a leadership in the industry, MIRAGE-Nxx emulators are the first to introduce universal JTAG/MPSD UniPod, which features ultra-compact and ultra-light weight design (dimensions are 53x33x14mm, 2.1"x1.3"x0.6"; weight is 79g, 0.17lb with connection cable) with ultra-long connection cable (2m, 6.6ft), provides advanced performance, and eliminates the need to have two different JTAG and MPSD ('C3x) pods in order to debug different TI TMS320 DSP platforms. With MIRAGE-Nxx you are always done for any TI TMS320 DSP !

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators provide very fast data upload/download speed and RTDX. While maintaining a plug-in compliance with all shapes of host PC including mobile, desktop and industrial PC, this is because the MIRAGE-Nxx emulators connect directly to the host PC CPU bus rather than to the secondary PC I/O interfaces as USB, Ethernet and LPT-port.

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators are an ideal tool for debugging of the modern DSP devices, which feature a small size, light weight and low supply voltage, and allows either to maximize performance of target JTAG path or to comply with low power and low speed targets. MIRAGE-Nxx easily expands to any number of emulation channels in the host PC and is an ideal tool for debugging of multi-DSP systems and environments with mixed DSP platforms.

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators run under the industry standard TI Code Composer and Code Composer Studio software debugging tools.

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators plug into the PCMCIA Type II PC Card (CardBus) slot of notebook PC and can be installed into any desktop and industrial PC using the corresponding PCMCIA PC Card (CardBus) adapter cards available from a variety of vendors.

MIRAGE-Nxx product line includes the following emulators:

	*MIRAGE-NC2* PCMCIA 32-bit CardBus plug-in dual-channel JTAG/MPSD emulator board with two external JTAG/MPSD UniPods ('maximum' configuration)
