Info:
Cutting the connections to the debugger will disable programming, debugging, data
streaming, and the target power supply. The signals will also be disconnected from the board
edge next to the on-board debugger section.
Info:
Solder in 0Ω resistors across the footprints or short-circuit them with tin solder to
reconnect any cut signals.

Current Measurement
The power to the PIC18F47Q10 is connected from the on-board power supply to the target voltage
supply (
VTG
) with a cut strap as shown in Section
3.4 Disconnecting the On-Board Debugger
. To
measure the power consumption of the PIC18F47Q10 and other peripherals connected to the board, cut
the strap and connect an ammeter over the strap. The ammeter can be connected between the target
VTG
pad edge connector and an external power supply for easy measurement. Alternatively, an external
power supply can be used as described in Section
Info:
The on-board level shifters will draw a small amount of current even when they are not in
use. A maximum of 10 µA can be drawn from the VTG net and an additional 2 µA can be drawn
from each I/O pin connected to a level shifter for a total of 20 µA. Disconnect the on-board
debugger and level shifters as described in Section
3.4 Disconnecting the On-Board Debugger
to prevent any leakage.
