The JTAG-SMT2 surface-mount programming module allows high-speed programming of Xilinx FPGA devices from a host PC. Users can solder the module directly onto a target board like any other component. Note: The JTAG-SMT2-NC part (RS 134-6473) does not have a USB connector fitted.
Features
• Compatible with all Xilinx tools • Compatible with IEEE 1149.7-2009 Class T0 - Class T4 (includes 2-Wire JTAG) • On-board ADP123AUJZ 300mA voltage regulator • Separate Vref drives JTAG/SPI signal voltages • Vref can be any voltage between +1.8V and +5V • USB 2.0 HS port drives JTAG/SPI bus at up to 30Mbit/sec • JTAG/SPI frequency settable by user • PC connector: MicroUSB (JTAG-SMT2 only) • GPIO pin allows processor reset of Xilinx Zynq platform
• SPI programming modes 0/2 up to 30Mbit/sec, modes 1/3 up to 2Mbit/sec • Fully supported by Digilent's Adept software and Adept SDK • Board dimensions: 22.75 x 21.5mm
This module is not needed for Digilent Xilinx FPGA boards as they have this functionality built-in.
An FPGA is a semiconductor device consisting of a matrix of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) connected through programmable interconnects. The user determines these interconnections by programming SRAM. A CLB can be simple (AND, OR gates, etc) or complex (a block of RAM). The FPGA allows changes to be made to a design even after the device is soldered into a PCB.
