No space for a 14 pin JTAG connector?
100'000 programming connectors for production are too expensive?
Here is the solution:
A reusable needle adapter which needs only 49 mm2 PCB estate. The connector on the target system/ PCB is essentially free of cost (15 test points, 2 position holes).
Features
- Small footprint of only 49 mm2
- Essentially free connector on target system (copper etch only)
- 15 pins, adapted to 16 pin industry-standard half-pitch connector
- Layout with 0.2 mm (8 mil) design rules
- Testpoints can be contacted with standard needle adapter in production
- One-hand operation, like a syringe
Applications
- R&D: JTAG/ background debugging
- R&D: serial interfaces for logging/ debugging
- R&D: processors/ Flash memory and CPLD/ FPGA programming
- Manufacturing: programming for small lots when a needle adapter is not economically feasible
- Service: software updates
Specifications
| PCB Footprint | see PCB Footprint below |
| Maximum current per pin | 0.5 A |
| Maximum voltage | 100 V |
Options
- Replacement spring-loaded contacts
- Interface PCB from 16 pin half-pitch connector to e.g. ADI-style JTAG and Freescale-style BDM
Application examples
- ADI Blackfin JTAG, Freescale HCS08 BDM and LVTTL serial on one ScProbe
- Freescale Coldfire JTAG and LVTTL serial on one ScProbe
- Two Freescale HCS08 BDM and two LVTTL serial on one ScProbe
