Defect Workaround On the I C and ISSP header, the silkscreen labels for the data (marked “D”) and clock (marked “C”) pins are swapped. However, the pins have the correct orientation for working with the MiniProg and CY3240 USB-I2C bridge. If using these headers for probing, note that the “D” pin has the clock and the “C” pin has the data. 2 1.
