+# Debug Port Component
+
+A drop-in debugging component for tscircuit that provides ~20 debug connections for monitoring board traces.
+
+## Features
+
+- **RP2040 Microcontroller**: Acts as the receiver board with powerful processing capabilities
+- **ADC Module**: Converts analog signals to digital without requiring programming
+- **SPI/I2C/UART Interfaces**: Multiple communication protocols supported
+- **Configurable Pin Count**: Up to 20 debug pins (default: 20)
+- **Power Regulation**: Built-in voltage regulation and filtering
+- **External Connections**: Easy access to debug signals via ports
+
+## Architecture
+
+The debug port consists of:
+
+1. **RP2040 Chip**: Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller with 32 GPIO pins
+2. **ADC Module**: Analog-to-digital converter for signal monitoring
+3. **SPI Header**: 6-pin header for SPI/I2C/UART communication
+4. **Debug Header**: Configurable pin header for debug connections
+5. **Power Circuit**: Resistor and capacitor for power regulation
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { createDebugPortJsx } from "tscircuit"
+
+const debugPortCode = createDebugPortJsx({
+  name: "DEBUG",        // Component name
+  x: 60,               // X position
+  y: 20,               // Y position
+  pinCount: 16,        // Number of debug pins (1-20)
+  width: 30,           // Board width in mm
+  height: 20           // Board height in mm
+})
+
+// Use in your circuit
+const circuit = (
+  <board width="100mm" height="80mm">
+    {/* Your circuit components */}
+    <resistor name="R1" resistance="1k" />
+
+    {/* Add debug port */}
+    {debugPortCode}
+  </board>
+)
+```
+
+## Pin Mapping
+
+- **RP2040 GPIOs 0-1**: Connected to ADC inputs
+- **RP2040 GPIOs 2-5**: SPI/I2C/UART outputs (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS)
+- **RP2040 GPIOs 6-21**: Connected to debug pins D1-D16
+- **External Ports**: Available as `DEBUG_EXT_D1`, `DEBUG_EXT_D2`, etc.
+
+## Connections
+
+The debug port provides these external connection points:
+
+- **SPI Header** (6 pins): GND, 3.3V, MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS
+- **Debug Pins** (configurable): D1, D2, ..., D20
+- **Power**: 3.3V and GND available on SPI header
+
+## Example Circuit
+
+```typescript
+import { createDebugPortJsx } from "tscircuit"
+
+export const MyBoard = () => (
+  <board width="100mm" height="80mm">
+    {/* Main circuit */}
+    <chip name="MAIN_MCU" footprint="qfp32" />
+    <resistor name="R1" resistance="10k" />
+
+    {/* Debug port for monitoring signals */}
+    {createDebugPortJsx({
+      name: "DEBUG",
+      x: 60,
+      y: 20,
+      pinCount: 12
+    })}
+
+    {/* Connect debug pins to circuit traces */}
+    <trace path={[".MAIN_MCU > .GPIO0", ".DEBUG > .DEBUG_EXT_D1"]} />
+    <trace path={[".MAIN_MCU > .GPIO1", ".DEBUG > .DEBUG_EXT_D2"]} />
+  </board>
+)
+```
+
+## Default Configuration
+
+- **Name**: "DEBUG_PORT"
+- **Position**: (0, 0)
+- **Dimensions**: 30mm × 20mm
+- **Pins**: 20 debug pins
+- **RP2040 Footprint**: QFN32
+- **ADC Footprint**: SOIC8
+
+## Customization
+
+All aspects of the debug port can be customized:
+
+- Component name and positioning
+- Board dimensions
+- Number of debug pins (1-20)
+- All internal component parameters
+
+This provides a complete debugging solution that can be dropped into any tscircuit design with minimal configuration.
