Required Debug Headers

Header Identification
The header AC number is used for ordering the header. However, this number is not
on the debug header, as the board is often used for multiple headers by inserting
different ICE/ICD devices. To identify this debug header, use the following information.
Header Setup and Operation
Test points are available on this header to check the following: Ground (TP1), VDD
(TP2), ICD Clock (TP3), ICD Data (TP4) and ICD MCLR/V
PP (TP5).
Also see the AC162083 Insert (DS51693).
POTENTIAL ISSUES
HV device selected instead of F device
If you inadvertently select a shunt regulator (HV) device and attempt to use it in a target
board designed for a non-shunt regulator (F) device, the shunt may draw excessive
current due to the lack of current-limiting circuitry on the target board and damage the
device mounted on the header.
F device selected instead of HV device
If you inadvertently select a non-shunt regulator (F) device and attempt to use it in a
target board designed for a shunt regulator (HV) device, the device may draw exces-
sive current due to the higher voltage used on a target board designed for HV devices
and damage the device mounted on the header.
HV devices cannot be powered from debug tool
Do not select in MPLAB IDE to power the target (debug header) from the debug tool (if
it supports powering the target) when using shunt regulator (HV) devices since this will
also cause the shunt to draw excessive current.

CAUTION
Incorrect rotary switch (Figure 9) settings may irreparably damage
the header. Ensure rotary switch settings are correct (Table 3) before
powering or connecting the header. Do not change the rotary switch
setting while the header is powered or connected to a debug tool. Do
not power shunt regulator (HV) devices from the debug tool.
