The Silicon Labs Simplicity Debugger provides reliable debugging and programming support for Silicon Labs 32‑bit and 8‑bit devices on custom hardware designs. It interfaces with the target board through Silicon Labs’ proprietary Mini Simplicity 10‑pin, 0.05″‑pitch connector.
Important:
While the Mini Simplicity connector shares the same physical form factor as standard MIPI‑10/Cortex‑10 connectors, its pinout is different. As a result, it is not compatible with MIPI‑10/Cortex‑10 interfaces.
To conserve valuable PCB space, you can connect to your target board using Tag‑Connect Plug‑of‑Nails or Edge‑Connect™ cable options:
- TC2050-IDC-NL-050-ALL – A no‑legs, push‑to‑connect cable ideal for production environments where fast, repeatable connections and minimal board footprint are essential. It can also be used during development when paired with TC2050-CLIP retaining clips.
- TC2050-IDC-050-ALL – Features built‑in retaining legs, making it well‑suited for development setups that require a secure, hands‑free connection.
- ECV3-10-IDC-050 – A 10‑pin castellated board‑edge connector to 10‑pin 0.05″ cable, offering a true board‑edge connection option
