The Xilinx DLC10 (often referred to as the Platform Cable USB II) is a high-performance hardware tool used to program, configure, and debug Xilinx-based electronic components. It acts as a bridge between your computer’s USB port and the target hardware’s JTAG interface.
Core Functions
Programming: It downloads configuration files (bitstreams) to FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices).
Debugging: It allows engineers to monitor internal signals in real-time using tools like ChipScope Pro or Vivado Logic Analyzer.
Flash Programming: It can indirectly program external SPI and parallel NOR flash memories via the FPGA’s JTAG port.
Key Specifications
Interface: Connects to a PC via USB 2.0 (High-Speed) and to the target board via a 14-pin or 10-pin ribbon cable.
Voltage Support: Automatically adapts to target board I/O voltages ranging from 1.2V to 5.0V.
Download Speed: Supports JTAG clock speeds up to 24MHz or 30MHz, depending on the specific model or clone version.
Compatibility:
Software: Works with AMD/Xilinx Vivado, ISE Design Suite, and IMPACT.
Hardware: Supports all Xilinx device families, including Spartan, Virtex, Artix, Kintex, and Zynq.
OS: Compatible with Windows (XP through Windows 11) and various Linux distributions.
Why use it?
While many modern development boards have “on-board” USB programmers, the DLC10 is essential for custom hardware designs that only provide a raw JTAG header. It is also favored for its signal isolation, which protects both the PC and the target equipment from electrical damage during testing.
