Connecting To The Host Computer; Usb Driver Installation - Atmel JTAGICE3 English Quick Start Manual

Powering the Atmel JTAGICE3
The Atmel JTAGICE3 is powered by the USB bus voltage. It requires less than 100mA to operate, and can therefore be
powered through a USB hub. The power LED will illuminate when the unit is plugged in. When not connected in an active
programming or debugging session, the unit will enter low-power consumption mode to preserve your computer's
battery. The JTAGICE3 cannot be powered down - it should be unplugged when not in use.

Connecting to the host computer

Before plugging in the Atmel JTAGICE3 for the first time, be sure to install the USB driver on the host computer. This is
done automatically when installing the front-end software provided free by Atmel. See www.atmel.com for further
information or to download the latest front-end software.
The JTAGICE3 must be connected to an available USB port on the host computer using the USB cable provided. The
JTAGICE3 contains a USB 2.0 compliant controller, and can operate in both full-speed and high-speed modes. For best
results, connect the JTAGICE3 directly to a USB 2.0 compliant high-speed hub on the host computer using the cable
provided.
