• Target power consumption can be measured with ~160µA resolution at up to 200 ksps (kilo samples per second)
• Support for Micro Trace Buffer (MTB) for ARM Cortex-M0+

Trace features

• Up to 150MHz ETM trace clock
• Memory capacity of 32 Msamples
• 64-bit time stamp with CPU cycle accuracy for timing analysis

I-jet and I-jet Trace has a MIPI-20 connector on the front panel and come with MIPI-20 and MIPI-10 cables, as well as a legacy ARM-20 adapter. For I-jet Trace, only the MIPI-20 cable supports the ETM trace functionality, MIPI-10 and ARM-20 are for plain JTAG/SWD/SWO debugging. For details on the connectors, see the user manual.

In addition, the following adapters are available from IAR Systems to fit different target connectors:

ADA-MIPI20-TI14 Adapter	ADA-MIPI20-CTI20 Adapter	ADA-MIPI20-ISO Adapter

I-scope for Power consumption in-target analysis

I-scope adds current and voltage measurement capabilities to I-jet and I-jet Trace. The measurements can be done at any designated points on the target board and are displayed in real-time by the C-SPY Debugger in IAR Embedded Workbench.

I-scope measures current and voltages and sends it to I-jet, which synchronizes the data with the program counter of the running application. The data can be graphed and profiled in real time and analyzed using C-SPY. The current sensing is done by connecting two differential current measurement leads across a shunt resistor on the target board.

Use the power analysis to:

• Reveal the power consumption of individual functions and peripherals
• Identify I/O activities that cause current spikes
• Diagnose low power mode
• Investigate MCU frequency and core voltage power savings
• Find conflicting hardware setup
• Reduce RF emissions by identifying and eliminating unwanted current spikes
• Measure and compare battery consumption in various MCU sleep modes

Specifications

• I+ and I- differential voltage, 110mV full scale across shunt resistor
• One differential current channel, 0-6V common mode
• Three voltage channels, 0-6V
• Sampling rate up to 200 kHz with 12 bit resolution
• Includes one MIPI-20 flat cable for attaching to the I-jet
• Includes 6 flying test leads and 6 grabbers
• Supports all ARM cores

Please note: I-scope is used in combination with I-jet or I-jet Trace.
