KL02 SWD_DIO or SWD_CLK

[patrickirwin]

We are currently using MKL02Z16VFG4 (16 pin device) in a new
design.  In this design we are using all
of the pins except for pin 16 (PTA2/SWD_DIO) and pin 14 (PTA0/SWD_CLK).  After programming, we need to use one of
these pins to drive an N-Channel MOSFET, which is being used as a switch.  The N-Channel MOSFET has a pull down 10K ohm
resistor from its gate to ground. 

Which pin should we be using?    

Thanks

Hi Pat,

Both pins can be used. The differences between the two pins are:

PTA0 has interrupt requests; PTA2 does not.

PTA0 does not have an internal pull-up. PTA2 does.

So if you need to add an interrupt driven input later, use PTA2 for switching the MOSFET to leave PTA0 available.

Best regards,

Martyn,

Does the PTA2/SWD_DIO require a pull-up?  The IAR I-JET states when using J-TAG “This pin should be pulled up on target”.

While for PT0/SWD_CLK pin says that when using J-TAG “It is recommended that this pin is pulled to a defined state on target board”. 

If we need a pull-down to the MOSFET, we should use the PTA2/SWD_DIO.  We are using J-TAG for programming.

Thanks

Hi Pat,

On reset the KL02 enables a pull-up on PTA2/SWD_DIO, and a pull-down on PTA0/SWD_CLK. Therefore, until you change the mux and/or pull-up/down settings in your code, PTA0 & PTA2 are set correctly for programming.

Also, the KL02 does not feature JTAG. All programming/debugging is performed via SWD (Serial Wire Debug) and your IAR I-JET is capable of programming/debugging over SWD.

Best regards,

Martyn

Thanks for your help.
