The USB TAP probe affects the target processor and target electrical characteristics as little as possible. Care, however, should be taken in designing the target to accommodate the small signal delays associated with any in-circuit probe, emulator, or other test equipment.
The USB TAP probe automatically supports target signal levels from 1.8V to 3.3V.
The USB TAP probe was carefully designed to be as small as possible. Even so, it may not physically fit in all target systems.
Contact Freescale if you have any special considerations that need review.
