OnCE connector information

The CodeWarrior USB TAP OnCE probe has a 14-pin connector which automatically supports target signal levels from 1.8V to 3.3V.

The following figure shows the pin assignments of the probe OnCE connector.

Note: All OnCE signals must meet accepted standards for OnCE signal design. To ensure proper and stable operation between the USB TAP probe and the target, the OnCE signals must meet the requirements listed in table below.

The following table provides a general description of each OnCE signal and the operational requirements.

Table 2. USB TAP probe for OnCE signal recommendations and requirements
OnCE pin Signal mnemonic Requirement
1 TDI Must be wired to the target processor. The USB TAP probe drives the TDI output with up to 50 mA. The TDI trace should be kept short and maintain a "two-signal-width" spacing from any other parallel dynamic signal trace. TDI should have an RC termination option at the processor.
2 GND Must be wired to the target. GND is connected directly to the USB TAP ground inside the USB TAP probe.
3 TDO Must be wired to the target processor. TDO is an output from the target processor and input to the USB TAP probe. The TDO trace run should be kept short and maintain a "two-signal-width" spacing from any other parallel dynamic signal trace. TDO should have a series termination resistor located near the target processor.
4 GND Must be wired to the target. GND is connected directly to the ground inside the USB TAP probe.
5 TCK Must be wired to the target processor. The USB TAP probe drives the TCK output with up to 50 mA. The TCK trace run should be kept as short as possible and maintain a "two-signal-width" spacing from any other parallel dynamic signal trace.
6 GND Must be wired to the target. GND is connected directly to the ground inside the USB TAP probe.
7 Reserved Not required for emulation.
8 No-Connect/Key Not required for emulation. Pin 8 should be clipped on the target OnCE header.
9 RESET Must be wired to the target processor. The USB TAP probe drives the RESET output with 50mA. During reset, the USB TAP probe drives RESET to ground through a 100Ohm resistor.
10 TMS Must be wired to the target processor. The USB TAP probe drives the TCK output with up to 50mA. The TCK trace run should be kept as short as possible and maintain a "two-signal-width" spacing from any other parallel dynamic signal trace.
11 VDD Must be wired to the target. The USB TAP probe uses this signal to determine if power is applied to the target. This signal is also used as a voltage reference for the signals driven by the USB TAP probe (TDI, TCK, TMS, RESET, and TRST).
12 Reserved Not required for emulation.
13 Reserved Not required for emulation.
14 TRST Must be wired to the target processor. The USB TAP probe drives the TRST output with up to 50 mA. The TRST trace run should be kept short and maintain a "two-signal-width" spacing from any other parallel dynamic signal trace.
