Introduction
Infineon TC397XE Emulation Adapter is based on the 292-pin TC397XE superset device and
provides full trace capabilities for the:
· TC397Xx
· TC387QP
· TC3E7Qx
devices, where the trace port is not available or lacks the full trace capability.
The Emulation Adapter might differ in some peripherals from the target device; there-
fore, the device datasheet should be checked.
Infineon TC397XE Emulation Adapter supports the following debug and trace interfaces:
· DAP
· DAPE
· AGBT (Aurora Gigabit Trace)
The Emulation Adapter can also be used as a standalone device for microcontroller evaluation
purposes or for development and testing of an embedded application ahead of target board
availability.

Package content
Infineon TC397XE Emulation Adapter is delivered with all the components required for a stan-
dalone operation. Target adaptation parts for the Target board adaptation and the Power ad-
apter must be ordered separately.

Target adaptation
The Emulation Adapter adaptation to a specific target microcontroller pincount and package is
done via a Conversion board and a Solder part. Sometimes also an optional Extender is avail-
able. Conversion boards connect between the Emulation Adapter and the matching Solder part,
which is being soldered on the embedded target side. Available Conversion boards, Solder parts
and optional Extenders are listed in the table below.

Measurement board (optional)
The Measurement board connects between the Emulation Adapter and the Conversion board.
Embedded targets often do not have access to all the MCU pins / connected signals to connect
with measurement equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer), its use provides easy access to all
MCU pins. It is delivered together with an Layout board (chip signals are clearly marked), which
is placed over the Measurement board.

Configuration
J1: Target reset configuration
Jumper J1 connects the Emulation Adapter reset line and the user target board reset line and is
populated by default.
Emulation Adapter features a Reset push button (SW1).
If having problems establishing the initial debug session with the Emulation Adapter, remove J1
and try again.
J2 and J3: Clock source configuration
Jumpers J2 and J3 select clock source for the emulation device.
Position 1-2 (default position) selects the crystal circuit oscillator
on the target.
Position 2-3 selects an external clock source (Q1 socket on the
Emulation Adapter).
The Emulation Adapter may not operate when target board’s crystal circuit is used as
the clock source. TIP: The crystal should be as close as possible to the microcontroller.
The crystal on the target board might not oscillate in conjunction with the Emulation
Adapter when the clock lines (TP21_2, TP21_3) between the crystal and the emulation
device on the Emulation Adapter become too long, thus affecting the impedance of
the crystal circuit.
Separately packed 20 MHz crystal can be used as a 20 MHz external clock (XOSC)
source to the emulation device. If a different clock frequency is required, insert appro-
priate crystal into the Q1 socket and replace C7 (default 10pF populated) and C8 (de-
fault 10pF populated) accordingly. Crystal socket Q1 is by default not populated (NP).

Crystal socket Q1 schematics below:
J4 and J5: GND connection points
In case a good ground connection is required, connection points bridge J4 and pin J5 provide
easy access to the Emulation Adapter's GND potential.
J6 and J7: VFLEX and VAREF
VFLEX - If the target’s VFLEX pin isn’t exposed, bridge the jumper J6 to connect VEXT from the
target to power VFLEX.
Setting the jumper when emulating the BGA device may prevent establishing a debug
connection or, in the worst case, can damage the Target board.
VAREF - If the target’s VAREF2 pin isn’t exposed, bridge the jumper J7 to connect VAREF1 from
the target to power VAREF2

Setting the jumper if VAREF2 is present on the device may prevent establishing a de-
bug connection or, in the worst case, can damage the Target board.
P2: Power supply configuration
Power supply of the Emulation Adapter is configured via the unshrouded 26-pin 2.54 mm
header (P2).

P2 Signal description
By default, all jumpers are set to connect user target power supply to the microcontroller resid-
ing on the Emulation Adapter. Only pins 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12 must be bridged, but
for the convenience and ease of use, all jumpers are set, except for pins 25-26.
Pin 26 is the polarizer key preventing incorrect connection of the IEA-PS Power converter, when
being plugged in.
If a different power source is used (e.g., a Standalone operation), remove all jumpers and apply
3V3 or 5V to:
· VEXT (pin 2),
· VDDM (pin 4),
· VAREF1 (pin 6),
· VAREF2 (pin 8),
· VEVRSB (pin 10),
· VFLEX (pin 12).
Enclosed Power supply package (Power converter and Power adapter) simply plugs into the P2
header row, providing the necessary power supply for Emulation Adapter operation. LED1 indic-
ates if power is supplied to the Emulation Adapter.
Refer to the microcontroller documentation for more details about power voltage designations.
Connectors
Be aware that debug and trace signals from the Emulation adapter superset device are
not connected to the target board. They are exposed only to the connectors on the
Emulation adapter.

Standalone operation
Infineon TC397XE Emulation Adapter is delivered with all components required for a Stan-
dalone operation.
Power supply
Use the enclosed IEA-PS Emulation Adapter Power converter and adapter.
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. The array of jumpers J0–J9 selects 3.3 V or
5 V voltage on the P3 connector, which connects to the Emulation Adapter.

P3 connector and J0–J9 jumper correlation table
For example, when J2 is in the 3V3 position, it supplies 3.3 V to pin 6 of the P3 connector. When
J2 is in the 5V position, it supplies 5 V to pin 6 of the P3 connector pin.
Be careful not to supply 5 V to the microcontroller power supply pin, which has de-
clared a maximum voltage 3.3 V! Refer to the microcontroller documentation for de-
tailed information on power supply.

Clock source
If the target’s crystal circuit microcontroller oscillator (if available) is not an adequate clock
source, insert appropriate crystal into the Q1 socket, replace the default 10pF C7 and C8 capacit-
ors when necessary and place jumpers J2 and J3 in 2-3 position.

Assembly
1. Solder the Solder part Bon the Target A.
2. (optional, recommended) Connect Extender Cto the Solder part B.
The Extender protects from damaging the Solder part if the Emulation Adapter setup is frequentlyassembled and disassembled.
Be careful and gentle during this procedure because all parts of the setup are extremely sensitive, and pins can easily bend or
even break in the worst-case scenario.
More Extenders can be stacked to gain height between the Emulation Adapter and the Target, if surrounding components so high
that they prevent connecting the Emulation Adapter. Keep the number of Extenders C at minimum since every Extender degrades
the signal integrity of the electrical signals.
3. Assemble in order: Emulation Adapter F, optional Measurement board E, Conversion board D.
4. Connect Conversion board Dto:
· Solder part or
· Extender
