MultiSTAC is Sophia's high-performance emulation system supporting legacy processors. The stackable module design incorporates a chip-specific probe, emulation memory, trace memory, and CPA function into one unit. It operates up to 60MHz external clock, supports 8/16/32-bit bus, and focuses on high-speed CPUs. A PCI or ISA interface provides high-speed communication between the MultiSTAC and your host PC (with a PCMCIA interface for your laptop computer).

The MultiSTAC design can operate on a stand-alone basis with its own memory, clock, and CPU probe, allowing you to begin debugging your program while the board is still being developed! Once your board has been developed, it can connect directly to your target (by replacing the CPU), enabling the use of emulation memory, and the real-time trace recording of bus cycle data. The real-time RAM monitor also allows the use the opportunity to view memory in real-time!

View and configure trace memory & triggers without effecting real-time emulation with 32K cycles of real-time bus trace, SDRAM trace (burst mode), and trigger (external signal trigger conditions)
Debug programs while the hardware is still being developed with 4-16 MBytes emulation memory (both internal and external access)
View memory in real-time with the RAM monitor
Analyze performance while the programs are stored in cache memory with the coverage performance analyzer

From initial board design and integration of middleware & drivers, to debugging& testing software applications; full-featured ICE gives you total control over the entire project allowing your products to get to market faster - giving you the advantage!
