Description

The DF6808 is an advanced, 8-bit, MCU IP Core with highly sophisticated, on-chip peripheral capabilities. The DF6808 soft core is binary-compatible with the industry standard Motorola 68HC08 8-bit microcontroller. It can achieve a performance of 45 – 100 million instructions per second. The DF6808 has a FAST architecture that is 3.2 times faster compared to the original implementation. In the standard configuration, the core has major peripheral functions integrated on-chip. The DF6808 Microcontroller Core contains a full-duplex UART – Asynchronous Serial Communication Interface (SCI) and Synchronous Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The main 16-bit, free-running timer system has two input capture lines and two output-compare lines. Self-monitoring circuitry is included on-chip, to protect against system errors. The Computer Operating Properly (COP) watchdog system protects against software failures. An illegal opcode detection circuit provides a non-maskable interrupt if an illegal opcode is detected. Two software-controlled power-saving modes – WAIT and STOP are available to preserve additional power. These modes make the DF6808 IP Core especially attractive for automotive and battery-driven applications. The DF6808 is fully customizable – it is delivered in the exact configuration to meet your requirements. There is no need to pay extra for unused features and wasted silicon. It includes a fully automated test bench with a complete set of tests, allowing easy package validation, at each stage of the SoC design flow. Each DCD’s DF68XX Core has built-in support for a proprietary Hardware Debug System called DoCD™. It’s a real-time hardware debugger that provides debugging capability of a whole System-on-Chip (SoC). Unlike the other on-chip debuggers the DoCD™ enables non-intrusive debugging of a running application. It can halt, run, step into or skip an instruction, and read/write any contents of the microcontroller, including all registers, and SFRs, including user-defined peripherals, data, and program memories.

DoCD Debugger

Power of Innovation is our primary target. That’s why our R&D focuses on every single IP Core detail. As a result of that concern, some unique solutions were born. One of them is the D68XX on-Chip Debugger (DoCD™), which is a complete debugging system dedicated for all 68XX Cores offered by DCD.
