5.3.3 Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on JTAG pins
The JTAG input pins must not be floating since they are directly connected to flip-flops to
control the debug mode features. Special care must be taken with the SWCLK/TCK pin that
is directly connected to the clock of some of these flip-flops.
To avoid any uncontrolled I/O levels, the STM32F10xxx embeds internal pull-up and pull-
down resistors on JTAG input pins:
• JNTRST: Internal pull-up
• JTDI: Internal pull-up
• JTMS/SWDIO: Internal pull-up
• TCK/SWCLK: Internal pull-down
Once a JTAG I/O is released by the user software, the GPIO controller takes control again.
The reset states of the GPIO control registers put the I/Os in the equivalent state:
• JNTRST: Input pull-up
• JTDI: Input pull-up
• JTMS/SWDIO: Input pull-up
• JTCK/SWCLK: Input pull-down
• JTDO: Input floating
The software can then use these I/Os as standard GPIOs.
Note: The JTAG IEEE standard recommends to add pull-up resistors on TDI, TMS and nTRST,
but there is no special recommendation for TCK. However, for the STM32F10xxx, an
integrated pull-down resistor is used for JTCK. Having embedded pull-up and pull-down
resistors removes the need for external resistors.
