JTAG opto-isolation board
Introduction
The JTAG opto-isolation (AI-JTAG/OPTO-1) board can be connected between development
tools and an application board to provide electrical isolation. This is essential when the
development tools are not connected to the same ground as the application. It is also useful
to protect the development tools from electrical spikes that often occur in some applications,
such as motor control applications.
The JTAG opto-isolation board can be used with any tools that use the 20-pin JTAG
standard connection for in-circuit debugging and programming of ST ARM core-based
microcontrollers.

Hardware layout and configuration
The JTAG opto-isolation board uses high speed optocouplers that allow a very low
propagation time between input and output (typically 30nS). The board includes:
●
●
a JTAG standard 20-pin female HOST connector (J1) that allows direct connection of
the development tool,
a JTAG standard 20-pin male TARGET connector (J2) for connection of the application
board.
The opto-isolation board is delivered with a 7cm, 20-pin flat cable with JTAG standard
connectors to facilitate the connection to the application board.
The hardware block diagram shown in
Figure 2
illustrates the functional connections
between the development tool (HOST) and the application (TARGET).

Power supply configuration
The JTAG opto-isolation board is powered by the target application power supply available
on pin 1 and pin 2 of the J2 target connector. An isolated DC/DC converter on the board
provides the power supply for components on the host side of the board. When host and
target power supplies are present on board the LD1 LED is lit.
The board needs to be configured for 3.3V or 5V operation depending on the target
application voltage.
The voltage is configured using a solder bridge on G1 or G2.
●
●
G1 bridge ON/G2 bridge OFF: 3.3V configuration (default configuration)
G2 bridge ON/G1 bridge OFF: 5V configuration
Caution:
Components may be damaged if G1 and G2 are both configured ON.
If you need to change the power supply configuration frequently, it is possible to solder a 3-
position jumper in place of TP6 on the silkscreen (see
Figure 3).
If a jumper is implemented,
the G1 and G2 bridges must be OFF.
The voltage configuration with a jumper is shown in
Table 1.
