BH-ISO14_20-QS-02
3 Pin and Signal Mappings
Installation Requirements
Emulators with a standard TI 14-pin or compact TI 20-pin JTAG Socket.
TI development Board with a standard TI 14-pin or compact TI 20-pin JTAG
header and 3.3v or 5.0v IO voltages.
If you do not meet the 14-14 or 20-20 pin requirements between the emulator and target
board, you can use a 14e-20t or 20e-14t pin converter as needed.
Important Environmental Considerations
This Quick Start Guide describes two (2) different Isolation
Adapters. Please refer to the parts of this guide that match
the type of Isolation Adapter that you have purchased and
is included.
Caution is necessary to minimize ESD (Electro-static Discharge) which can
damage electronic components. Use in a controlled environment where
ESD materials and practices are employed is highly recommended.
The following isolation adapters are described in this document.
BH-ADP-ISO14
For electrical Isolation of a target board and emulator with standard TI 14-pin JTAG con-
nection.
BH-ADP-ISO20
For electrical Isolation of a target board and emulator with compact TI 20-pin JTAG con-
nector.

4 Additional Information
The Blackhawk Isolation Adapter is compatible with all Blackhawk JTAG Emu-
lators currently in production and with most other emulators that conform to
the Texas Instruments 14 and 20-pin JTAG headers. Compatibility with target
hardware which is non-standard or existed prior to 1998 should be verified to
conform to the IEEE 1149.1 specification prior to using the adapter.
Use of the Blackhawk Isolation Adapter does not guarantee that damage will
not occur to hardware that is subjected to extreme voltage surge. Damage to
devices on the scan chain may still be possible under certain circumstances
beyond the scope of tolerances generally accepted as “normal operation”.

The Isolation Adapters described below (see figures 1 to 4) allow an emu-
lator with the standard TI 14-pin or compact 20-pin JTAG socket (EMU) to
connect to a target board with the corresponding JTAG header (TGT).
Use a pin converter if your emulator and target board do not have the
same JTAG connections.
Use of this adapter will isolate floating grounds and minimize current
spikes from damaging the emulator, the target, and the development ma-
chine.

Using this adapter provides backwards compatibility to standard debug con-
nections and does not perform any processing or contain any on-board logic.
It is strictly a Isolation Adapter, routing only pins 1-14, or 1-20 on relative
adapter, and can be used with XDS510™ and XDS560™-class emulators
with a 14-pin or 20-pin socket connector.
Figure 5 shows the connection orientation of the Isolation Adapter between
an emulator cable on top and a header on a target board.
WARNING
Caution should be exercised in connecting these adapters to the JTAG emulator and
the target JTAG header. Pay special attention to the orientation and keying and pin
outs. Be careful to connect with the correct orientation. These adapters are not in-
tended to be hot pluggable. Unplug power from all sources prior to connect or discon-
nect.
