3Pin and Signal Mappings
Installation Requirements
Emulators with a compact TI 20-pin JTAG Socket.
TI development Board with a compact TI 20-pin JTAG header and 1.8v, 3.3v or
5.0v IO voltages.
If you do not meet the 20-20 pin requirements between the emulator and target board, you
can use a 14e-20t pin converter as needed.
Important Environmental Considerations
This Quick Start Guide describes Revision 2.0 of our 20-pin
Isolation Adapter. If you have a previous revision, please
refer to the guide that matches your version. If you are not
sure what you are using, contact Blackhawk Support.
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 adapter is described in this document.
BH-ADP-ISO20-2 (SKU: 12137B, revision 2.0)

4Additional 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 compact 20-pin JTAG headers. Compatibility with tar-
get 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”.
