0 R Platform Cable USB 00 DS300 (v3.3) June 25, 2014 Product Specification Features Platform Cable USB has these features: Configures all Xilinx devices All Virtex FPGA families Supported on Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux All Spartan FPGA families Automatically senses and adapts to target I/O voltage XC9500 / XC9500XL / XC9500XV CPLDs Interfaces to devices operating at 5V (TTL), 3.3V (LVCMOS), 2.5V, 1.8V, and 1.5V CoolRunner XPLA3 / CoolRunner-II CPLDs LED Status Indicator XC18V00 ISP PROMs CE, USB-IF, and FCC compliant Platform Flash XCF00S/XCF00P/XL PROMs Intended for development not recommended for XC4000 series FPGAs production programming Programs serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash PROMs Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) Platform Cable USB Description Platform Cable USB (Figure 1) is a high-performance flying lead set is included for backward compatibility with download cable attaching to user hardware for the purpose of target systems that do not use the ribbon cable connector. programming or configuring any of the following Xilinx devices: Note: The next generation, Platform Cable USB II, is now available. Please refer to the DS593, Platform Cable USB II, for details. ISP Configuration PROMs X-Ref Target - Figure 1 CPLDs FPGAs Platform Cable USB attaches to the USB port on a desktop or laptop PC with an off-the-shelf Hi-Speed USB A-B cable. It derives all operating power from the hub port controller. No external power supply is required. A sustained slave- serial FPGA configuration transfer rate of 24 Mb/s is possible in a Hi-Speed USB environment. Actual transfer rates can vary if bandwidth of the hub is being shared with other USB peripheral devices. DS300 01 011414 Device configuration and programming operations using Platform Cable USB are supported by iMPACT download Figure 1: Xilinx Platform Cable USB software using Boundary-Scan (IEEE 1149.1 / IEEE 1532), slave-serial mode, or serial peripheral interface (SPI). Platform Cable USB supports indirect (via an FPGA IEEE 1149.1 JTAG port) programming of select flash memories including the Platform Flash XL configuration and storage device. Target clock speeds are selectable from 750 kHz to 24 MHz. Platform Cable USB attaches to target systems using a 14-conductor ribbon cable designed for high-bandwidth data transfers.

The legacy DLC9 cable X-Ref Target - Figure 2 model requires 230 mA to operate in USB 2.0 Hi-Speed mode or 150 mA to operate in USB 2.0/1.1 full-speed mode. Some older R STATUS root hubs or external bus-powered hubs might restrict devices to 2mm CONNECTOR 100 mA.

Operation Firmware Updates This section describes how to connect and use Platform Cable USB. Platform Cable USB is a RAM-based product. Application code is downloaded each time the cable is detected by the host operating system. USB protocol guarantees that the Minimum Host Computer Requirements code is successfully downloaded. The host computer must contain a USB Host Controller with All files necessary for successful cable communication are one or more USB ports. The controller can reside on the PC included with every Xilinx ISE software installation CD. motherboard, or can be added using a PCI expansion card Revised application code is periodically distributed in or PCMCIA card. subsequent software releases. ISE Service Pack and Platform Cable USB is supported on systems that meet the WebPACK releases can be downloaded from Xilinx ISE system requirements. For environmental www.xilinx.com.
