About on-chip emulator released and last-buy

• Whereas EASE1000 and uEASE have incomprehensive coverage across LAPIS’ U8/U16 microcontrollers and are complementary each other, EASE1000 V2 supports all the U8/U16 including ML62Q1000 series as in a table below;

• uEASE, EASE1000

• March 30, 2019 (Japan time)
  Final acceptance end.
  

• uEASE and EASE1000 you may now possess could be kept on use even beyond the above-mentioned Last Buy date.
  How to do with your possible additional demands for U8/U16 microprocessor on-chip emulators and/or when uEASE and EASE1000 you now have go dead or worn somehow, you are encouraged to refer to another document, "Migration of On-chip Emulator for U8/U16-series microcontroller"
  Please note that the way-out may vary dependent upon a situation where you are;

• When you need a new emulator or a replacement for your program development
• When you need a new emulator or a replacement to perform single-shot ROM writing in your production
• When you need a new emulator or a replacement to perform parallel multiple ROM writing to use in your production

• uEASE, EASE1000
• EASE1000 V2

• A suggested way for you to migrate to EASE1000 V2 varies dependent upon a purpose of use of the emulator and whether ROM write is performed in Single-write mode or Parallel-write mode. Please refer to a table below;

• Unless you would place a Last-Buy order for back-up stock to uEASE and/or EASE1000 you today have, you’re encouraged to purchase EASE1000 V2 even before the Last Buy date (March 30, 2019 in Japan time).

• uEASEs you now use as ROM writers in your production cannot be used in parallel with EASE1000 and/or EASE1000 V2, whereas EASE1000 you now use can be used in parallel with EASE1000 V2.

Note :
When EASE1000 V2 is used to write multiple ROMs in parallel, the multiple ROM writer needs to be its bundled MWU16.

• The captioned matrix is referred to in a table herebelow;

• MWuEASE can’t be a multi-writer for EASE1000 V2 so that, when you upgrade your on-chip emulator to EASE1000 V2, you’re requested to download a temporary latest development environment from LAPIS Semiconductor’s website to upgrade to MWU16.
  Please note that MWU16 of EASE1000 V2 is both for parallel multi-ROM writing and single-shot ROM writing so that upgrade to MWU16 is required even when you only use FWuEASE to perform single-shot ROM-writing.

• The dimensions of EASE1000 V2 are identical to those of uEASE and EASE1000 as well as so are a position and pin-layout of the connector.

• Pins of uEASE, EASE1000 and EASE1000 V2 are not the same as below. For more details, please refer to EASE1000 V2 Users Manual.

• The voltage level of power supply to your target LSI of uEASE is different from that of EASE1000 V2.
  Please make sure if it would not affect your ROM writer hardware.

• As above-stated, pin-layout with uEASE, EASE1000 and EASE1000 V2 are all the same.
  However, dependent upon your production environment, parasitic capacitance and resistance on board with your target LSI thereon may somehow influence to behaviors of your emulator so that manuals of your target LSI are thoroughly checked.
