Introduction
The AT90ICEPRO is a real time In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) for all AT90S1200, -S2313,
-S2323, -S2333, -S2343, -S4414, -S4433, -S4434, -S8515 and -S8535 devices. It can
be upgraded to support future AVR®parts. It is controlled by AVR Studio, which is a pro-
fessional front-end for both high-level and assembly level debugging. AVR Studio is
described in Section 1 in the Development Tools User Guide and must be studied care-
fully in order to take full advantage of this product.

Introduction

Figure 1-1. AVR AT90ICEPRO with AT90ADCPOD
The AVR ICE unit is the main part of the AVR AT90ICEPRO system. AVR Studio, which
runs on a host PC, controls the ICE unit. The AVR ICE unit must be connected to an
available RS-232 port on the host PC with the supplied RS-232 cable. AVR Studio auto-
matically detects if there is an emulator present on one of the PC’s serial ports. Note
that if no ICE is found,
AVR Studio will show “Simulator” in the lower right corner of the
main window. If the ICE is found, “AVR Emulator” will be indicated and your connections
are correct. AVR Studio will issue a warning if a program previously run in emulator
mode is started in simulator mode.

Figure 1-2. AT90ADCPOD
AT90ADCPOD is the pod card used for the processors, AT90S1200, -S2313, -S2323, -
S2333, -S2343, -S4414, -S4433, -S4434, -S8515, and -S8535. The pod contains the
analog comparator, the analog to digital converter, a clock circuit for handling of XTAL
and TOSC signals from the target application, a reset button and a voltage conversion
circuit. 11 different jumpers and one switch can be set on the pod card to select between
the different functions.
The pod card is connected to the AVR ICE unit using the pod cable (the wide cable),
and to the user application using the 8-pin, 20-pin, 28-pin, or 40-pin probe.
Note: It is extremely important that the probe cable is correctly connected to the user
application. The colored wire of the probe cable indicates pin 1 of the AVR
device.

Preparing the
AVR
AT90ICEPRO
System for Use
Complete the following procedure in order to start using the AVR ICE.
Before connecting the probe cable to the user application:
■Connect the pod card to the AVR ICE unit with the pod cable.
■Connect the appropriate probe to the pod.
■Connect the RS-232 cable between the AVR ICE unit and an available serial port on
the host PC.
■Connect power supply (9 - 15 VDC) to the AVR ICE unit.
■Turn the power on and check that the red LED marked “POWER” is lit.
■After a short time (≤10 sec.), the green LED marked “READY” will be lit and the AVR
ICEPRO system is ready.
■Turn off the power.
Plug the probe into the application, paying attention to connect it correctly. If it is not
connected correctly, the AVR AT90ICEPRO system may be damaged. The colored wire
of the probe cable indicates pin 1 of the AVR device.
■When the probe is correctly connected to the application, check the jumper marked
“EXT. POWER” on the probe circuit board. If the application is powered from the AVR
ICE unit, the jumper must be mounted. If the application is going to use its own power
supply, the jumper must be removed.
■Make sure that all other jumpers and switches (clock, timer, analog comparator and
device) are set according to your application. Details on these jumper settings are
located in Section 4.
■When all jumpers are set correctly, turn on the power. When the green LED is lit, the
AVR AT90ICEPRO system is ready for use. Start AVR Studio, and begin your AVR
emulation session.

Section 3
Select Between
Different AVR Devices
The selection between different AVR devices must be done both in AVR Studio and on
the pod card. In AVR Studio, choose the device you want to emulate in the Device menu
in Emulator Options. On the pod card, make sure to use the appropriate probe cable (20
pins for 20 pin device and so on) and connect your application to the connector labeled
with the correct part number. Please note that it may damage your AT90ICEPRO if you
plug the probe cable into the wrong connector.
To use AT90S2323 ar AT90S2343, the jumpers on the connectors labeled PB3 and
PB4 must be set. Table 3-1 below shows how to set these jumpers.
For other devices these jumpers are not used.
To use AT90S2333, AT90S4433, AT90S4434 or AT90S8535, the 10 lead cable on the
pod must be mounted. Table 3-2 below shows where to connect this cable.
For other devices this cable is not used.

Section 4
The AVR AT90ICEPRO
Power System
The AVR AT90ICEPRO system has an internal power regulator that can deliver 15W of
power at 5V. The AVR ICE itself uses about 10W, so if the user application is powered
from the AVR AT90ICEPRO system, it can not use more then 5 W (i.e. 5V/1A). If this
value is exceeded, the AVR AT90ICEPRO system may be damaged or not work prop-
erly.
The power supply delivered with your AT90ICEPRO is dimensioned to meet the require-
ments of the emulator. If another power supply is used, it should supply a voltage
between 9 and 15 VDC, and minimum 20W. The battery eliminator connector on the AVR
AT90ICEPRO system is a standard type with 2.1 mm center tap. Ground should be con-
nected to the center tap.
If the target application needs to be powered from the emulator, the jumper labeled
“EXT.POWER” should be mounted. Jumpers labeled “PW2”, “PW1”, and “PW0” can all
be removed when external power is selected.
If the target application runs on a supply voltage other than 5V, and you want to emulate
your system at that voltage, the jumper named “EXT.POWER” must be removed. The
pod card must also be set to convert voltages to the required voltage. Use Figure 13-2
to find what the settings on the jumpers named “PW2”, “PW1”, and “PW0” should be.
