A. If a local target power supply is used, make connection J1. If power from the debug or programming adapter is used, make connection
J2.
B. The device RST/NMI/SBWTDIO pin is used in 2-wire mode for bidirectional communication with the device during JTAG access, and any
capacitance that is attached to this signal can affect the ability to establish a connection with the device. The upper limit for C1 is 2.2 nF
when using current TI tools. The typical value for SBW communication is shown. The range can vary between 0.1 nF and 2.2 nF
depending on SBW speed, voltage, and board design. See the device-specific data sheet for device-specific recommendations.
C. R2 protects the JTAG debug interface TCK signal from the JTAG security fuse blow voltage that is supplied by the TEST/VPP pin during
the fuse blow process. If fuse blow functionality is not needed, R2 is not required (populate 0 Ω) and do not connect TEST/VPP to TEST/
SBWTCK.
D. For extra ESD protection on the TEST pin, a 500ohm to 1k ohm pull down resistor can be added
