3.4 On-Chip Debugger USB Type-C® Connection (J14)

The SAM9X75 cHybrid can be powered by an external On-Chip Debugger (OCD) USB Type-C cable with the following absolute maximum ratings:

  • VIN max: 5.75 V
  • IIN max: 500 mA
  • USB connector: USB Type-C

The USB-powered operation is provided by the USB device port connected to a PC or a 5 VDC supply.

The USB supply is enough to power the board in most applications. It is important to note that when the USB supply is used, the USB port has limited power.

The following figure shows the input power USB supply.
