Nexus Development Interface (NDI)
PXN20 Microcontroller Reference Manual, Rev. 1
36-104 Freescale Semiconductor
The TAP controller operates at both 3.3 V and 5 V, according to the device power supply, but the Nexus
output port operates only at 3.3 V maximum and is provided only on the 256MAPBGA emulation
package.
Based on the following assumptions:
• Average message length: 20 bits
• 1 jump every 10 instructions
• MCKO capable of supporting 1/2 the system clock frequency (64 MHz maximum)
• MDO pins operate at half of the system clock speed
It is required to have 12 dedicated medium MDO pins. The N3/N2+ auxiliary port is bonded out only in
the 256-pin MAPBGA package.
Boundary scan test is supported.
36.10 Debug Port
The debug port is composed of a total number of 22 pads as described in the following Table 36-69. The
five JTAG pads are available on every device of the family and are not multiplexed.
The EVTO and EVTI functions are bonded out on dedicated 3.3 V pads on the 256MAPBGA. They are
provided on the 208MAPBGA on 5 V pads multiplexed with GPIO. The remaining NDI pins are available
as dedicated 3.3 V pads only on the 256MAPBGA package.
