configuration and may be installed by the user if necessary. Note that when using an external
MON08 cable, all jumpers on the USB-MON08 ENABLE header must be removed.
Integrated MON08
The DEMO908QB8 board features an integrated USB-MON08 debugger from P&E Microcom-
puter Systems. The integrated debugger supports application development and debugging via
the internal monitor. All necessary signals, including high-voltage, clock, data, and configura-
tion signals, are provided by the integrated debugger. A USB, type B, connector provides
connection from the target board to the host PC.
The integrated debugger provides +5V power and ground to target board eliminating the need
to power the board externally. Power from the USB-MON08 is derived from the USB bus;
therefore, total current consumption for the target board, and connected circuitry, must not ex-
ceed 500mA. Excessive current drain will violate the USB specification. Damage to the host
PC USB hub or the target board may result.
A 16-pin header (USB-MON08 ENABLE) allows disconnecting the integrated debugger from
the target board. This allows the stand-alone operation of the target board. In stand-alone
operation, the target board must be power from connector J1 or the PWR connector. The Ta-
ble below details the function of the USB-MON08 Enable header.

NOTE: To use the board in stand-alone operation when powered from the USB cable, remove
the shunt at position “B”. Otherwise the MCU will be forced into monitor mode out of re-
set.
Communications over the USB bus is controlled by the USB_SPEED header. When shipped
from the factory, the DEMO908QB8 is configured for high-speed operation. If the user en-
counters a communication failure, USB communication speed may be reduced by setting this
option jumper to Full.
