Four special purpose add-on modules extend Embed’s modeling, simulation, and code generation capabilities.

Add-On Module

Description

Embed/Core Source Code Library

Contains pre-compiled functions for core blocks that are not translated into inline code. Target is the PC. Available only for Embed. Not available for academic (EDU) licenses.

Embed/Target Source Code Library

Contains pre-compiled functions for target-specific blocks that are not translated into inline code. There is a Target Source Code Library for each target family. Available only for Embed. Not available for academic (EDU) licenses.

Embed/Digital Power Designer

Provides high-level blocks for simulation and code generation of power supply and digital power components and controls. Available only for Embed.

Embed/Comm

Simulates end-to-end communication systems at the signal level using 200+ communications, signal processing, and RF blocks. Available for Embed SE and Embed.
