21.5 JTAG Interface
The dsPIC33FJ06GS101/X02 and
dsPIC33FJ16GSX02/X04 devices implement a JTAG
interface, which supports boundary scan device test-
ing, as well as in-circuit programming. Detailed infor-
mation on this interface will be provided in future
revisions of the document.
21.6 In-Circuit Serial Programming
The dsPIC33FJ06GS101/X02 and
dsPIC33FJ16GSX02/X04 family of digital signal
controllers can be serially programmed while in the end
application circuit. This is done with two lines for clock
and data and three other lines for power, ground and
the programming sequence. Serial programming
allows customers to manufacture boards with
unprogrammed devices and then program the digital
signal controller just before shipping the product. Serial
programming also allows the most recent firmware or a
custom firmware to be programmed. Refer to the
“dsPIC33F/PIC24H Flash Programming Specification”
(DS70152) for details about In-Circuit Serial
Programming (ICSP).
Any of the three pairs of programming clock/data pins
can be used:
• PGEC1 and PGED1
• PGEC2 and PGED2
• PGEC3 and PGED3
21.7 In-Circuit Debugger
The dsPIC33FJ06GS101/X02 and
dsPIC33FJ16GSX02/X04 devices provide simple
debugging functionality through the PGECx (Emula-
tion/Debug Clock) and PGEDx (Emulation/Debug
Data) pin functions.
Any of the three pairs of debugging clock/data pins can
be used:
• PGEC1 and PGED1
• PGEC2 and PGED2
• PGEC3 and PGED3
To use the in-circuit debugger function of the device,
the design must implement ICSP connections to
MCLR
, VDD, VSS, and the PGECx/PGEDx pin pair. In
addition, when the feature is enabled, some of the
resources are not available for general use. These
resources include the first 80 bytes of data RAM and
two I/O pins.
