Freescale Semiconductor Target Interface MMDS0508 - Manual (Page 7)

General Description
System Components
1–7 MMDS0508 Target Interface
• 9-lead RS-232 serial cable: the cable that connects the station module to the host-
computer RS-232 port.
• Serial adapter: a DB9M-to-DB25F RS-232 adapter, for use with a 25-pin host-
computer serial port.
• Two logic clip cable assemblies: twisted-pair cables that connect the station
module to your target system, a test fixture, a clock, an oscillator, or any other
circuitry useful for evaluation or analysis. One end of each cable assembly has a
molded connector, which fits into the pod A or pod B connector of the station
module. Leads at the other end of each cable terminate in female probe tips. Ball
clips come with the cables.
Separately purchased components are:
• Emulation module (EM): a printed circuit board that completes MMDS
functionality for one or more MCUs. The two DIN connectors on the bottom of the
EM fit into connectors on the top of the MMDS0508 platform board, providing
power and signal connections. The EM also has a connector for the target cable.
Each EM comes with its own user’s manual.
• Target cable: a flat, flexible cable that connects the MMDS to the target system.
The cable’s emulator terminator mates to the EM target connectors; the cable’s
head terminator mates to a target head adapter. (A target cable and target head
adapter make up a target cable assembly.)
• Target head adapter: a target-cable adapter that plugs into the MCU socket of the
target system. (For some EMs, the target head adapter plugs into a surface-mount
adapter.)
