  • [SOLVED] How to power the Cortex-M target?

    Dear Segger Support Team,

    I attached a picture that shows my J-Link Base + Target Supply Adapter + J-Link Adapter for Cortex M + our tiny electronic Board

    I used J-link Command "power on/off perm" to enable the power supply to the target. So far, Am I correct?

    Things is power is present at the target connector of the "Target Supply Adapter" but "J-Link Adapter for Cortex M" does not populate that power to the 9 pin connector (pin #1).

    Questions:

    - Did I miss something here or should I customize my "J-Link Adapter for Cortex M" to provide power on the 9 pin connector?

    - My "Target Supply Adapter" provides 3,3v meanwhile our tiny electronic board does not accept more that 3.0v.
    How should I adpat the "Target Supply Adapter" output voltage? Do I have to adjust R4/R5 bridge, R2/R3 bridge (in our use case needed currents are very low)
    Sorry but the "Target Supply Adapter" dedicated page is not clear enough segger.com/jlink-target-supply-adapter.html

    Best regards,
    Thierry

  • Hi Thierry,


    I used J-link Command "power on/off perm" to enable the power supply to the target. So far, Am I correct?

    Correct.

    Unfortunately, as described in the schematics (see links to the website below), Target power supply is available on the 20- and 19pin connector, but not on the 9pin connector.
    segger.com/interface-description.html
    segger.com/jlink-adapters-19pin-cortexm.html
    segger.com/jlink-adapters-9pin-cortexm.html

    Pin 1 of the 9pin connector (as well as Pin 1 of the 19pin and 20pin connector) is VTREF.
    VTREF != Target power supply .
    VTREF needs to be connected to the targets reference voltage, so that J-Link can configure it buffers to the respective voltage.

    Best regards,
    Niklas

  • Dear Niklas

    I thank you for prompt answer,

    We indeed missed something here with our 9-pins connector... I do not how we will handle that.

    What about my last question that was
    "How should I adpat the "Target Supply Adapter" output voltage? Do I have to adjust R4/R5 bridge, R2/R3 bridge (in our use case needed currents are very low)".

    Best regards,

  • Hi Thierry,


    as described on the webpage:

    only R4 needs to be adjusted in order the change the VTGT Voltage.
    If you want the voltage to be ~ 3.0V, the provided formula equates to a resistor of 297 Ohm.
