3.3.1
Bypass protection circuit on program and debug header (J11)
The 10-pin header allows you to program and debug the PSoC™ 6 MCU using an external programmer such as
MiniProg4. This header has a protection circuit that cuts-off any voltage greater that 3.4 V on VTARG_REF pin. This
is to ensure that the PSoC™ 6 MCU and other 3.3-V devices do not get damaged due to overvoltage.

Schematics of bypass protection circuit on program and debug header (J11)
If the external programmer provides a slightly higher voltage, say 3.42 V, and you still need to use the
programmer, you can bypass this protection circuit by populating the bypass zero-ohm resistor R196.
Note that this change will compromise the protection circuit when an external supply is used and will
permanently damage any 3.3-V device if the external voltage exceeds absolute maximum limit of the device. See
the respective device datasheet for absolute maximum voltage limits.
