General safety instructions Please read the following safety precautions carefully before putting this device to use to avoid any personal injuries, damage to the instrument, or to the target system. Use this instrument only for its intended purpose as specified by this manual to prevent potential hazards. Use included power cord and power supply The enclosed power supply has been approved for use by iSYSTEM.
Introduction Infineon TC234LF Emulation Adapter primary use case is providing the trace capability for the 100-pin: · TC233 · TC223 devices featuring no trace functionality. The Emulation Adapter might differ in some peripherals from the target device; there- fore, the device datasheet should be checked. The Emulation Adapter is based on the emulation device featuring on-chip trace and provides the target adaptation to the 100-pin QFP target package.
Package content Infineon TC234LF Emulation Adapter is delivered with all components required for Standalone operation. Adaptation package for the Target board adaptation and the Power adapter must be ordered separately. Power supply package Infineon TC234LF Emulation Adapter Power converter Power adapter Ordering code: Ordering code: Ordering code:...

Configuration J1: Target reset configuration Jumper J1 connects the TC234LF reset line (PORST) and the target reset line. By default J1 is populated. When having problems establishing the initial debug session with the emulation adapter, try to remove J1 and see if it makes any difference. J2 and J3: Clock source configuration Jumpers J2 and J3 select clock source for the microcontroller on the emulation adapter.

Original microcontroller in the QFP100 package provides GND con- nection through the exposed pad. The emulation adapter, replacing the original microcontroller doesn’t provide support for the exposed pad and for this reason the GND connection must be established separately. Use J4 or J5 connection pin to established good GND connection between the emulation adapter and the target.

Emulation Notes This emulation adapter is custom designed for use with specific target and is not meant for general use! Original microcontroller connects the GND potential to the target PCB through the exposed pad located in the center of the microcontroller on the bottom side of the package”. The emulation adapter connects to the target PCB via Solder part which doesn’t provide the ex- posed pad.

Power supply package A Power supply package, which is delivered with the Emulation Adapter, is required when: · The Emulation Adapter is used as a standalone device . · The target board doesn’t provide an accurate supply voltage. · The target board doesn’t provide sufficient current for the Emulation Adapter operation. The Power converter can supply either 3.3 V or 5 V.
Standalone operation Emulation Adapter is delivered with all components required for a Standalone operation: IEA-PS Emulation Adapter Power converter adapter. IEA-PS emulation adapter power supply simply plugs into the P2 header row, providing the necessary power supply for emulation adapter stan- dalone operation.
Measurement board With the Measurement board you gain easy access to all MCU pins respectively, because mod- ern targets do not have accessible all the MCU pins / connected signals to connect with a meas- urement equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer). The Measurement board is optional and connects between the Emulation Adapter and the Con- version Board.

Solder part Recommended foot pattern shown is for the NQPACK soldering. Refer also to the IC package foot pattern recommended by the microcontroller manufacturer when the microcontroller is meant to be soldered on the same foot pattern. Unit (mm) Pitch IANQPACK100SE 14.65 14.1...
NQ Pack Assembly First check that the pin 1 positions on the pad pattern and all of the components are correctly aligned. 1. Mount the NQPACK on the Target. 2. Install the YQPACK after checking for a match with the position of pin 1 for the NQPACK. Then use the guides to affix the YQPACK to the NQPACK.
HQ Pack Assembly First check that the pin 1 positions on the pad pattern and all of the components are correctly aligned. 1. Solder the NQPACK on the Target after checking for a match with the position of pin 1 on the Target.
Schematics To view Emulation Adapter schematics, use the short link isystem.com/schematics. Below is a pinout of the four connectors P3-P6 on the bottom side of the emulation adapter: NC – Not Connected Connectors expose only signals from the 144-pin emulation device, which exist on the 100-pin TC233 device.
