Platform Cable USB is a USB-compatible in-circuit configuration and programming cable for all Xilinx devices, enabling JTAG workflows, fast data transfer, and reliable device communication for development, testing, and learning; its streamlined connectivity accelerates FPGA design, debugging, and education by ensuring seamless integration, quick setup, and robust performance across development environments. Features Performance Utilizing CY7C68013A+FPGA new hardware solution, compatible with the original XILINX Platform Cable USB and Platform Cable USB II Programs all Xilinx devices, including FPGAs / CPLDs / ISP Configuration PROMs Supports JTAG, Slave-Serial and SPI programming, to config all Xilinx devices Interfaces to devices operating at 5V / 3.3V / 2.5V / 1.8V / 1.5V Optional target clock frequency, supports XILINX software automatic frequency adjustment Firmware auto upgrade, it's possible to support more new released software and devices Anti-static and multi-layers signal isolation, to protect the target and the programmer itself Comes with adapter board and multi cables for easily connecting with official development board or other circuit boards Supported software Xilinx ISE iMPACT ChipScope Vivado Supported devices Xilinx FPGA devices: UltraScale / 7 series / Zynq / Kintex / Virtex / Artix / Spartan, etc. Xilinx CPLD devices: XC9500 / XC9500XL / XC9500XV / CoolRunner XPLA3 / CoolRunner-II, etc. Xilinx PROM devices: Platform Flash XCF00S / XCF00P / XL, etc. LED Status Red: USB connected Yellow: USB connected, and Vref (the target board) is powered How to Connect Connects to PC Via USB interface Connects to target board Platform Cable USB provides 3 different interfaces to connect with the target board: JTAG, Slave Serial, and SPI. The figure below shows the header pinouts of the interfaces: Note: please make sure the VCC and GND are connected correctly, to avoid damaging the Platform Cable USB
