breakpoints, and view variables, memory, and registers. The

processor must be halted to send data and commands, but once

an operation is completed by the emulator, the DSP system is set

to run at full speed with no impact on system timing. The emu-

lators require the target board to include a header that supports

connection of the DSP’s JTAG port to the emulator.

For details on target board design issues including mechanical

layout, single processor connections, signal buffering, signal ter-

mination, and emulator pod logic, see the EE-68: Analog Devices

website (www.analog.com)—use site search on “EE-68.” This

document is updated regularly to keep pace with improvements

to emulator support.

RELATED SIGNAL CHAINS

A signal chain is a series of signal-conditioning electronic com-

ponents that receive input (data acquired from sampling either

real-time phenomena or from stored data) in tandem, with the

output of one portion of the chain supplying input to the next.

Signal chains are often used in signal processing applications to

gather and process data or to apply system controls based on

analysis of real-time phenomena. For more information about

this term and related topics, see the “signal chain” entry in

Wikipedia or the Glossary of EE Terms on the Analog Devices

website.

Analog Devices eases signal processing system development by

providing signal processing components that are designed to

work together well. A tool for viewing relationships between

specific applications and related components is available on the
