DIGILENT 410-251

The JTAG-SMT2 surface mount programming module for Xilinx field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This compact, complete and fully self contained programming module can be accessed directly from all Xilinx tools, including iMPACT, Chip Scope and EDK. Users can load the module directly onto a target board and reflow it like any other component. The JTAG bus can be shared with other devices as systems hold JTAG signals at high impedance, except when actively driven during programming. The module uses a standard type A to micro USB cable. Users can connect JTAG signals directly to the corresponding FPGA signals. For best results, mount the module adjacent to the edge of the host PCB over a ground plane. In addition to supporting JTAG, the JTAG-SMT2 also features two highly configurable serial peripheral interface (SPI) ports that allow communication with virtually any SPI peripheral. Adept software and the Adept software development kit (SDK) support the SMT2 module.
