Input Receiver Structure
A Schottky diode is used to protect the TDO_DONE_MISO
voltage comparator (Figure 24). In effect, Platform Cable
USB looks for voltages below V
IL
MAX to detect logic 0, and
tolerates voltages much higher than V
REF_A
because TDO
could be terminated to a supply other than V
REF
.
Signal Integrity
Platform Cable USB uses high-slew-rate buffers to drive
TCK_CCLK_SCK, TMS_PROG_SS, and TDI_DIN_MOSI.
Each buffer has a 30Ω series termination resistor. Users
should pay close attention to PCB layout to avoid
transmission line effects. Visit the Xilinx Signal Integrity
Central website, and see specifically Xilinx Application Note
XAPP361, Planning for High Speed XC9500XV Designs, for
detailed signal integrity assistance.
If the target system has only one programmable device, the
2 mm connector should be located as close as possible to
the target device. If there are multiple devices in a single
chain on the target system, users should consider buffering
TCK_CCLK_SCK. Differential driver/receiver pairs provide
excellent signal quality when the rules identified in
Figure 25 are followed. Buffering is essential if target
devices are distributed over a large PCB area.
Each differential driver and/or receiver pair contributes
approximately 5 ns of propagation delay. This is
insignificant when using 12 MHz or slower clock speeds.
Each differential receiver can drive multiple target devices if
there are no branches on the PCB trace and the total trace
length is less than four inches. A series termination resistor
should be placed adjacent to the single-ended output of the
differential receiver.
Note:
If the target system incorporates a buffer for
TCK_CCLK_SCK and the 24 MHz clock rate is used, it is
recommended that the same buffer type also be provided for
TMS_PROG_SS. This maintains a consistent phase relationship
between TCK_CCLK_SCK and TMS_PROG_SS. A buffer is not
needed for TDI_DIN_MOSI, because it sees only one load.
