Lattice HW-USBN-2B Cable Selection and Installation

Lattice HW-USBN-2B with TC-LATTICE adapter & TC2030-IDC 6-pin programming cable

Tag-Connect™ replacement debug/programming cables save cost and space on every board!

We offer two programming cable solutions for the  Lattice HW-USBN-2B programmer, covering both JTAG and SPI programming of Lattice’s FPGAs, CPLDs and other devices. Tag-Connect™ programming cable solutions save space and money on every board. The tiny footprint of the 6-pin no-legs TC2030-IDC is little bigger than a surface mount resistor! Do away with time consuming flying lead connections with Tag-Connect™ programming cables. No physical connector is required on the target board.

Our cables only cover JTAG and SPI programming. If you required an I²C programming cable, please contact us.

1. 6-pin JTAG Solution
2. 10-pin JTAG & SPI solution

6-pin TC2030 for FPGA/CPLD programming using JTAG

The JTAG solution combines our TC-LATTICE adapter with a TC2030-IDC (legged) or TC2030-IDC-NL (no-legs) 6-pin programming cable.

By default, the TC-LATTICE adapter comes fitted with a 500 Ohm resistor connected between VCC and GND. This resolves the issue of the Lattice HW-USBN-2B unexpectedly raising VCC on low-power targets and eliminates the need for the resistor to be fitted to each of your target PCB’s – see http://www.latticesemi.com/en/Support/AnswerDatabase/2/2/0/2205.

The target board connector pinout is shown below.

Lattice HW-USBN-2B to 6-pin Plug-of-Nails™ - With Legs
PCB End: 6 Pin Plug-of-Nails™ Legged	Debug End: 12 Pin IDC 0.1" Female	The TC-LATTICE Adapter allows users of Lattice's HW-USBN-2B Programming Cable to use Tag-Connect TC2030-IDC or TC2030-IDC-NL cable instead of the supplied flying lead solution for programming various Lattice Semiconductor devices. The adapter has a 12-pin (2x6) 0.1" female header that plugs into the Lattice HW-USBN-2B programmer and supplies a 6-pin (2x3) 0.1" male box header suitable for use with Tag-Connect TC2030-IDC Plug-of-Nails™ Cables, eliminating the need for a physical connector on each and every target PCB. By default, the TC-LATTICE adapter comes fitted with a 500 Ohm resistor connected between VCC and GND.

The "Legged" or "With Legs" versions of our cables snap directly into a tiny footprint of holes and pads in your PCB. By eliminating the need for a mating header component, you not only save PCB space but also cost on every board! See TC2030-IDC-NL for the "No Legs" version which has an even smaller footprint of about the size of an 0805 SMT resistor. Popular applications include programming Atmel AVR, many Renesas MCU's (when used with our TC-Renesas E1 / E8a adapter) and Zilog. Also great for bringing our SPI / IIC / RS232 and test signal access. Also available in 10" lengths (TC2030-IDC-10). Contact us for 36" length versions of these cables.

Tag-Connect cables provide a simple, reliable means of connecting Debuggers and Programmers or other test equipment to your PCB's while lowering board costs and facilitating efficient production programming. Tag-Connect uses a specially designed (Patent Pending) connector which eliminates the need for putting a programming header or other mating connector on every PCB. Instead, Tag-Connect uses tried and tested spring-pins rated for over 100,000 operations to make a secure connection to a special footprint pattern of pads and locating holes in your PCB. The tiny  "No Legs" footprint takes only 0.03 square inches (about the same board space as a couple of SMT resistors) which means you can locate the footprint right next to the MCU if desired. This 10-conductor cable has a TC2050-NL Tag-Connector on one end and a standard 0.1" ribbon connector on the other and is suitable for use with most many MCUs / FPGAs and JTAG programming and debug operations. A growing range of adaptors are available for specific and generic applications such as Xilinx SPARTAN and VERTEX FPGAs, TI MSP430 (TC2050-IDC-430), etc Also available in self-retaining "legged" version TC2050-IDC.

This product is intended to temporarily hold a TC2050-NL cable in place on a PCB. The solution will help when board space is premium and you need to perform a hands-free programming or debugging operation. For a more robust and convenient debugging connection consider using the TC2050 legged cable and footprint. Supplied as pack of 3. We recommend keeping a few spare of these since they are easily misplaced when working on the desktop.
