Platform Cable USB Description
Platform Cable USB (Figure 1) is a high-performance
download cable attaching to user hardware for the purpose of
programming or configuring any of the following Xilinx devices:
• ISP Configuration PROMs
• 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.
Device configuration and programming operations using
Platform Cable USB are supported by iMPACT download
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. An optional adapter that allows attachment of a
flying lead set is included for backward compatibility with
target systems that do not use the ribbon cable connector.
Note: The next generation, Platform Cable USB II, is now available.
Please refer to the DS593, Platform Cable USB II, for details.
