SWD & JTAG Debug-Port Isolation Explained: Protecting Your Probe, PC & Engineers (SEGGER J-Link, Flasher & J-Trace Isolators)
Plugging a USB-grounded debug probe into a motor drive, inverter, or high-voltage battery board can destroy the probe, fry your laptop's USB controller, or expose an engineer to a hazardous potential. Here is how SWD/JTAG debug-port isolation actually works, why SEGGER ships separate target-side and host-side isolators, and how Indian power-electronics, EV, and industrial teams should specify them, with verified specs only.
