7. Semulator V2.2dsr7 of 24 What you need for SEmulation: A standard FPGA development system e.g. Hpe_midi A PCIe X4 over cable communication card e.g. Hpe_com1 Software package Hpe_desk includes SEmulator, Clock Factory Programmer, JTAG Scanner/Debugger, ALTERA Quartus And last but not least a PC and MENTOR Modelsim

8. Semulator V2.2dsr8 of 24 Faster Simulation The SEmulator can speed up your Modelsim simulation:

9. Semulator V2.2dsr9 of 24 Clock Factory You can program every clock source -> clock input by a click

10. Semulator V2.2dsr10 of 24 JTAG Debugger / Scanner You can read and write every pin of every component in the JTAG chain, customer specific chain in DUT is supported.

11. Semulator V2.2dsr11 of 24 Advantages of SEmulation Early and continued testing of final hardware  Higher design quality / reliability Dramatically decrease RTL simulation time  Decrease development time Standard FPGA board for development, different boards available  No additional hardware cost Hardware in the Loop (Cosimulation)  Every external hardware can be implemented easily in the SEmulator ‘No’ limitation on pin and gate count  Broad family concept – Many extension boards
