46.8.2 20-pin IDC JTAG Connector

For debuggers and/or programmers that support the 20-pin IDC JTAG Connector, e.g. the SAM-ICE, the signals should be connected as shown in Figure 46-13 with details described in Table 46-9.

Figure 46-13. 20-pin IDC JTAG Connector
Table 46-9. 20-pin IDC JTAG Connector
Header Signal Name Description
SWDCLK Serial wire clock pin
SWDIO Serial wire bidirectional data pin
RESET Target device reset pin, active low
VCC Target voltage sense, should be connected to the device VDD
GND Ground
GND* These pins are reserved for firmware extension purposes. They can be left unconnected or connected to GND in normal debug environment. They are not essential for SWD in general.
Note: JTAG and Serial Wire Interface recommendations can be found in the “Basic 32-Bit MCU Design and Troubleshooting Checklist” guide on the Microchip web site, www.microchip.com.
