DBA# is an optional system signal that can be used to indicate to the system that the ITP/TAP port is 
being used. If not implemented, this signal can be left as no connect. If implemented, it should be 
routed with a 150 Ω to 240 Ω pull-up resistor placed within 5.5” of the ITP700FLEX connector. See 
the ITP700 Debug Port Design Guide for more details on DBA# usage. 
The ITP700FLEX VTT and VTAP pins should be shorted together and connected to the VCCP (1.05 V) 
plane with a 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor placed within 0.1 inch of the VTT pins. 
Table 19 summarizes termination resistors values, placement, and voltages the ITP signals need to 
connect to for proper operation for onboard ITP700FLEX debug port.

NOTES:   
1.  All the needed terminations to guarantee proper signal quality are integrated inside the processor AGTL+ 
buffers or inside the ITP700FLEX debug port. No need for any external components for the BPM[5:0]# signals. 
2.  Only required if DBA# is used with any target system circuitry. This signal may be left unconnected if unused. 
3.  In cases where a system is designed to utilize the ITP700FLEX debug port for debug purposes but the 
ITP700FLEX connector may or may not be populated at all times although the signal routing and termination or 
decoupling components are implemented, the component placement guidelines should adhere to the ones 
listed in. 
4.3.1.1.  ITP Signal Routing Example 
Figure 30 illustrates a recommended layout example for the ITP700FLEX signals. The ITP700FLEX 
connector is placed on the primary side of the motherboard and results in a smooth, straight-forward 
routing solution.
