View detail for Configurator In-System Programming Cable (ATDH2225)

Description
The configurator in-system programming cable (ISP cable) is a PC-only based cable
that attaches to the parallel port of a computer. This cable can be used to download
and verify configuration data cascading up to 8 devices. This cable allows designers to
quickly and economically program Atmel’s family of AT17 configuration memories. It
also provides support for new devices in the AT17 family prior to third-party programmer support being available. Therefore, it is a truly portable solution that allows
engineers to work from their lab bench or office.
Supported Devices
The AT17 series configurators can interface with many SRAM-based FPGA families.
This document is limited to example implementations for the following families:
•
•
•
•
Atmel – AT94K(FPSLIC), AT40K, AT6K
Xilinx – XC4000, XC5200, Spartan®, Spartan2, Virtex®, VirtexE
Altera – EPF6K, EPF8K, EPF10K
Cypress – Delta39K15, 39K30, 39K50, 39K100, 39K165, 39K200
Software Support
Make sure to use the latest CPS software (http://www.atmel.com/atmel/products/prod185.htm). CPS is used to program configurators and supports both the
ATDH2200E programming board and this ISP cable. CPS also includes a conversion
utility which supports Cypress, Xilinx and Altera file formats. The software, in conjunction with Atmel ISP cable, can be used to download an Atmel, Cypress, Xilinx or Altera
programming file directly to Atmel’s configurator(s).

Connecting Cable to
Target System
The cable draws its power from the target system through VCC and GND. Therefore,
power to the cable, as well as to the target FPGA, must be stable. Do not connect any
signals before connecting VCC and GND. Connect the programming dongle to your
printer parallel port. Connect the other end with 10-pin header to your target system
(Figure 1). Your target system should have the 10-pin header pin layout as follow in
order to match the download cable (Figure 2). The pin 9 of the 10-pin header on the target system is a key pin; therefore, it is cut off. The control signals generated by the
software are fed to the header. The programming algorithms written by Atmel can be
used to program an AT17 device in-system.

1. Pin 10 activates "SER_EN" on target board.
2. Pin 9 is the polarizing pin (cut off).
3. The 10-pin header is 0.1' spacing
Pin 5 and Pin 6 of the 10-pin header are the two signals which able to decode for cascading up to 8 devices. The latest CPS software has the ability to control the 2 signals
SW1, SW2 and by using the A2 pin of the device, you can select up to 8 devices. Therefore, you could use a 2-to-4 decoder to cascade 8 devices using our existing ISP circuit
(see Figure 3).

The AT17C/LV020 device is implemented using two 1-Mb Configurator EEPROMs in a
multi-chip module. The A2 pin of the first internal 1Mb is set to Low by the internal pulldown circuitry. An external 4.7 kΩ pull-up must be connected to the A2 pin of the second
internal 1Mb in order to program the second device. To work with the AT17C/LV020
devices, A2 should always have a pull up on the target system. The CPS software will
implement the correct A2 value to program both internal devices. In fact, to program an
AT17C/LV020 is just like programming two 1-Mb Configurator EEPROMs in casacade
configuration.

Due to the fact that the AT17C/LV002 device is a single-die solution, an external pull-up
or pull-down resistor can be connected to the A2 pin in order to program the data to the
device. As long as the software A2 setting is matched with the hardware A2 pin setting,
the data can be programmed to the device.
The tables on page 4 allow you to select any device out of the 8 devices, which can
work with the ISP download cable. The circuit is limited to example implementation for
the Atmel vendor only. It is the same idea for Xilinx and Altera applications. In addition,
user can still use the existing ISP circuit, which from the 2-megabit cascade document
with the same ISP download cable.
