iSYSTEM AG is a privately held, international electronics company headquartered in the suburbs of Munich, Germany. Founded in 1986, the company develops and markets a broad range of development tools for embedded systems design and test. iSYSTEM emulators and integrated development environment software help engineers create outstanding electronics delivered to the marketplace in less time. Currently our range of universal development tools support over 1000 different microcontrollers. iSYSTEM technology supports all available emulation technologies such as InCircuit emulation with bond out or port replacement technique and all OnChip emulation technologies such as BDM, SDI, OnCE, JTAG, ETM and NEXUS. The company has become a leader in the embedded development tool market. Close cooperation with well known microcontroller vendors AMCC, AMD, Atmel, Dallas, Freescale, Hyundai, Infineon, Intel, Micronas, Microchip, National Semiconductors, OKI, NXP, Samsung, ST Microelectronics, Temic, Toshiba and Zilog have resulted in outstanding tools featuring cutting-edge technologies. iSYSTEM customers include industry leaders and innovators in all areas of electronics, including automotive, avionics, telecommunication, consumer electronics. Our tools are equally popular among consultants and emerging electronic firms. iSYSTEM's product portfolio covers four unique lines of emulators, which differ mainly in emulation technology, bus width and speed of the supported micro controllers. In all products, advanced implementation of the latest FPGA-Technology provides superior performance and maximum flexibility. Adaptations required by changing technical needs are enabled by a simple download of new contents to the FPGA and/or by connecting an alternate POD, Probe or iCARD debug interface. Nearly 300 unique PODs, Probes and iCARDs support over 1000 popular microcontrollers. The unique new ActivePRO PODs place the emulator logic on the POD closer to the target for high-speed InCircuit emulation of 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs. iTRACE & iTRACE PRO do ETM and NEXUS OnChip trace and debug support. All of the development hardware is driven by winIDEA software, the company's unique integrated development environment. winIDEA hosts all of the developers' tools in one easy-to-use system. Included are a project manager, a 3rd party tools integrator, a multi-file C source editor and a high-level source debugger - a single interface for each step in the development process. In addition to standard products, iSYSTEM also offers custom engineering capability to provide OEM customers with specialized tools, intellectual property and design services. iSYSTEM products are used by tens of thousands of engineers in over forty countries worldwide. Outside of Germany, the products are sold and supported by distributors who are the embedded systems experts in their home markets. Affiliates iSYSTEM USA, iSYSTEM AB, iSYSTEM UK and iSYSTEM SRL sell and support the company's products in the Americas, Scandinavia, UK and Italy, respectively. Providing engineering and manufacturing support is ASYST Electronics, another iSYSTEM affiliate. Collectively, the iSYSTEM family of companies employs over 60 enthusiastic staff world-wide.
