TC-LATTICE-10 · Lattice Adapter for iCE40, SPI, TC2050

Product information "TC-LATTICE-10 · Lattice Adapter for iCE40, SPI, TC2050"

Short description

Adapter from the 12-pin connector of the Lattice HW-USBN-2B programming cable to a 10-pin 2.54 mm (0.1″) pin header for TC2050-IDC, TC2050-IDC-NL and ECV3-10-IDC cables — with DONE, PROGRAMN/ispEN, TRST and 5 V. The adapter for iCE40 and for any configuration that needs more than four JTAG lines.

Compatible: the Lattice HW-USBN-2B programming cable.

Not, or not directly, compatible

  • 20-pin, 2 × 10, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — ARM connector, e.g. SEGGER J-Link, Keil ULINK, ST-LINK/V2: through the adapter board COLL-ARM20-10-IDC, TC2050-ARM2010
  • 14-pin, 2 × 7, 2 mm — Xilinx Platform Cable II: through the adapter board TC2050-XILINX
  • 14-pin, 2 × 7, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — Renesas E1 / E2 / E8a / E20: through the adapter board TC-RENESAS

Application

iCE40 UltraPlus, HX and LP have no JTAG. Diamond and Radiant Programmer configure them over SPI and need CRESET_B and CDONE for that — exactly the signals the 10-pin TC2050 footprint carries via ispEN/PROG and DONE. The same applies when the configuration flash on the FPGA is written directly (chip select) or when the programmer is to drive PROGRAMN.

For pure JTAG targets — ECP5, CrossLink, MachXO — the smaller TC-LATTICE with its 6-pin footprint is enough.

Which Lattice adapter?

Device Interface Adapter
iCE40 UltraPlus, HX, LP SPI with CRESET_B and CDONE — no JTAG TC-LATTICE-10
ECP5, CrossLink, MachXO2, MachXO3, ispMACH JTAG TC-LATTICE is enough
Writing the configuration flash on the FPGA directly SPI with chip select TC-LATTICE-10
PROGRAMN driven by the programmer — TC-LATTICE-10

In short: JTAG targets with no further demands do fine with the 6-pin; anything that needs DONE, PROGRAMN or a chip select calls for the 10-pin.

The 500 Ω resistor — and why it sits here

The HW-USBN-2B senses the target voltage via VCC. On targets with very low current draw it lifts VCC unexpectedly in doing so. Lattice therefore recommends 500 Ω between VCC and GND — on every target board. This adapter carries the resistor itself; the target board no longer needs it.

Ground first

Lattice mandates it for the HW-USBN-2B, and it holds with the adapter too: when connecting, ground first, then the signals. Otherwise the device can be damaged. The Tag-Connect contacts are all the same length — there is no mating-first ground here.

Technical data

  • Signals: TMS, TDI/SI, TCK/SCLK, TDO/SO, DONE, ispEN/PROG/SN, TRST, VCC, 5 V, GND
  • 500 Ω fitted between VCC and GND
  • Devices: iCE40 UltraPlus/HX/LP (SPI); ECP5, CrossLink, MachXO with PROGRAMN or configuration flash

Included

The adapter only. Lattice HW-USBN-2B and cables are not included.

Bauform: IDC-Kabelende
