Target System Connections

This section provides examples of the various configuration topologies supported by Platform Cable USB II. Each example
incorporates the 2-mm connector (see

JTAG and Slave Serial

Multiple devices can be cascaded when using either a JTAG or slave-serial topology in target systems.
Figure 17, page 17 show typical routing for JTAG and Slave Serial topologies, respectively.
Platform Cable USB II provides a multi-use signal on its target interface connector called pseudo ground (PGND). The
PGND pin is connected to an open-drain driver (see
behavior of PGND is determined by the host application connected to the cable. In iMPACT, PGND is active-Low during
JTAG, Slave Serial and SPI operations (for example, programming, configuration, read back, etc.) and high-Z when the cable
is idle.
Figure 16, page 16 shows a typical use of PGND as a control signal to manage a target system's JTAG chain. PGND drives
the select (S) term on a set of multiplexers that switch between the primary configuration source and the cable. When PGND
is active-Low, the cable drives the JTAG chain. When PGND is high-Z, the primary configuration source drives the JTAG
chain. This capability allows Platform Cable USB II to remain attached to the target system while remaining isolated from the
primary configuration source. A similar scheme can be used with Slave Serial topologies.
PGND control is available only in iMPACT versions 10.1 and later. PGND remains high-Z in earlier versions of iMPACT and
in Xilinx design tools where the PGND signal is not supported.
The DONE pin on FPGAs can be programmed to be an open-drain or active driver. For cascaded Slave Serial topologies,
an external pull-up resistor should be used, and all devices should be programmed for open-drain operation.
