APPENDIX B:GLOSSARY
Application Board
This is the printed circuit board onto which you wish to connect the target ST7
MCU. It should include a socket or footprint so that you can connect the application
board to your emulator or development kit using the probe and the appropriate
device adapter. This allows you to emulate the behavior of the ST7 MCU in a real
application in order to debug your application program.
Device Adapter
Device adapters are included in your emulator kit to allow you to connect the
emulator to your application board. The type of device adapter depends on the
target device’s packaging. Many MCUs come in more than one different package,
and you should therefore use the device adapter that corresponds to the type of
package you have chosen for your application.
ECP
Extended capabilities port communication standard.
EPP
Enhanced parallel port communication standard.
LVD
Low Voltage Detector.
MCU
Microcontroller Unit. Otherwise referred to as the “target device” throughout this
manual. This is the core product (or family of products) for which the Development
Kit is designed to act as an emulator and programming tool. In general terms, an
MCU is a complete computer system, including a CPU, memory, a clock oscillator
and I/O on a single integrated circuit.
ST7MDTU3-Active Probe
A printed card having connector pins that allow you to connect the Emulator to the
MCU socket of the user application board. Using the active probe allows the HDS2
emulator to function as if it were the target device embedded in your application.
The probe is connected to the emulator by two flat cables.
RC network
Resistor-capacitor network.
