Overview

The Segger 8.06.00 is a specialized hardware adapter designed to bridge the standard 20-pin 0.1 inch J-Link connector to the smaller 19-pin 0.05 inch Samtec FTSH connector. This adapter is essential for debugging high-density ARM Cortex-M based designs where PCB space is at a premium. It ensures reliable signal integrity for SWD, JTAG, and trace signals including ETM support.

Why Choose This Part

This adapter utilizes high-quality Samtec connectors to maintain signal integrity at high clock speeds, which is critical for ETM tracing. The unshrouded design allows for easier manual probing if necessary while maintaining a compact footprint that matches standard ARM debug conventions.

Applications

Space-Constrained PCB Debugging
Used when target boards utilize the fine-pitch 19-pin 0.05 inch header instead of the traditional large 2.54mm pitch debug headers.
ETM Instruction Trace
Provides the necessary physical connections to access Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) functionality on Cortex-M devices for real-time instruction logging.
SWD and JTAG Prototyping
Facilitates a secure connection between a standard J-Link programmer and modern ARM development boards.
Production Programming
Integrated into test fixtures to interface with high-density production headers for firmware flashing.

Getting Started

Connect the 20-pin female side of the adapter directly to the J-Link ribbon cable and plug the 19-pin 0.05 inch male side into the target board header. Ensure the pin 1 orientation matches between the adapter and the target board to prevent communication errors or hardware damage.
