2.4 TARGET COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS

There are two driver boards available to closely match most application requirements.

The standard driver board can be used to connect to the myriad of demo boards and

applications that contain the RJ11 connector. The high-speed driver/receiver board

combination can be used for high-speed applications, for additional trace features, for

large (several feet) emulator-to-target distances and for noisy environments.

2.4.1 Standard Communication Connection

Using the standard driver board, the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator is connected

to the target device with the modular interface (six-conductor) cable. The pin

numbering for the connector is shown from the bottom of the target PC board in

Figure 2-6.

FIGURE 2-6: STANDARD CONNECTION AT TARGET

Note: Cable connections at the emulator and target are mirror images of each

other, i.e., pin 1 on one end of the cable is connected to pin 6 on the other

end of the cable. See Section 12.6.2.3 “Modular Cable Specification”.
