Trace signals
The trace signals (
TRACEDATA[0-31]
and
TRACECLK
) are similar to standard inputs, but are also
terminated to
VTREF
/2 through 50Ω resistors. These resistors prevent signals from being reflected back
to the target system, increasing signal integrity and the maximum data rate.
Disabling the input terminations is not currently supported in Arm Development Studio.

VTREF signals
The
VTREF
signals (
VTREF
,
DEBUG_VTREF
and
TRACE_VTREF
) are buffered to provide:
• A VDD rail for the LVCMOS output buffers.
• The
VTREF
/2 reference/termination rail.
For the debug unit to detect that a target is present, the
VTREF
signal must be higher than 800mV.
