Overview
The JTAG interface is a 4-wire Test Access Port (TAP) controller that
is compliant with the IEEE 1149.1 standard. The IEEE standard was de-
veloped to enable a standard way to eciently test circuit board connectiv-
ity (Boundary Scan). Atmel AVR devices have extended this functionality
to include full Programming and On-chip Debugging support.
The JTAG ICE uses the standard JTAG interface to enable the user to do
real-time emulation of the microcontroller while it is running in the target
system.

Connection Details
To connect the JTAGICE with the pc, we have to know about the
hardware details of the Module.
Hardware Description
The hardware section consists of a RS232, MAX232, Power and Buzy
LEDs.
RS232
The information transferred between data processing equipment and
peripherals is in the form of digital data which is transmitted in either a
serial or parallel mode. Parallel communication is used mainly for connect-
ing test instruments or printers with the computer, while serial is often used
between computers and other peripherals. Serial transmission involves the
sending of data one bit at a time over a single communication line. Serial
transmission is benecial for long distance communication, whereas paral-
lel is designed for short distances or when very high transmission rates are
required.

RS-232 is dened as the Interface between data terminal equipment
and data communication equipment using serial binary data exchange.
This denition denes data terminal equipment (DTE) as the computer,
while data communication equipment (DCE) as the JTAGICE.
TRANSMITTED SIGNAL VOLTAGE LEVELS:
Binary 0: +5 to +15 Vdc (called a space or on)
Binary 1: -5 to -15 Vdc (called a mark or o)
RECEIVED SIGNAL VOLTAGE LEVELS:
Binary 0: +3 to +13 Vdc
Binary 1: -3 to -13 Vdc
MAX232
The MAX232 IC is used to convert the TTL/CMOS logic levels to
RS232 logic levels during serial communication with the PC. It is a dual
driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply RS232
voltage levels from a single 5V supply. Each receiver converts RS232 in-
puts to 5V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers (R1 & R2) can accept
30V inputs. The drivers (T1 & T2), also called transmitters, convert
the TTL/CMOS input level into RS232 level.MAX232 needs four external
capacitors whose value ranges from 1F to 22F.
Power and Buzy LED
These are SMD LEDs, were Power LED is used to indicate the ON-
OFF status of the JTAGICE and Buzy LED is used to know whether the

How to connect?
Connect the JTAGICE to the pc using RS232 cable or using a USB-
2-Serial Converter. When the 3.3V-5V power supply is connected to the
JTAGICE board, the red LED will glow indicating the presence of power.
User may either connect power to the provided on-board pins, or through
the Standard JTAG Box header. At the same time, a blue LED will blink
with a delay of 100ms for approximately 5 seconds and then turned o.
That means the JTAGICE is ready to be used.
The steps required for knowing the correct Serial Port number.
Right click My Computer select the Device manager
Expand Ports(COM & LPT) as shown below
Figure 5: Computer Management
Remarks
Note that the marked COM(COM33) port is of a USB-2-Serial
Converter. If connected to a physical COM port the port num-
ber may likely to be COM1.
