The DProbeST10 offers full development support for the four new advanced 16bit microcontrollers of the ST10 family.

With the DProbeST10 Hitex now offers full development support for the four new advanced 16bit microcontrollers of the ST10 family. Especially for industrial applications such as motor control, power convertors and positioning systems the new advanced 16bit microcontrollers offer a variety of interesting features. The new ST10F271, ST10F272, ST10F273 and ST10F276 provide a range of Flash memory densities from 128 to 832Kbyte, enabling developers to choose the optimum configuration for their application, and offering the possibility of reducing costs with a single-chip design where external Flash devices might previously have been required.

With the DProbeST10 the developer gains full access to all the internal activities of the microcontroller and thus can quickly eliminate the most demanding problems.

At every operating voltage and up to the maximum processor speed the in-circuit emulator supports all ST10-specific features, eg the MAC unit or the interruptible power-down mode.

Using the stand-alone operation mode the development can even be started when the target hardware should not yet be available.

The high-speed download is essential during the development of larger applications.

A full featured trace with timestamps not only simplifies debugging but also together with performance analysis functions assists in optimising the performance of any application.

For testing safety-critical applications the system can be extended by an optional hardware-based code coverage or a unit test software for regression testing.
