onTAP HighSpeed Cable

The onTAP High Speed USB JTAG Test and Programming cable is the newest piece of boundary scan test hardware from Flynn Systems, providing a dual channel, 28.8 MHz link between onTAP and your application(s), using flying leads, Xilinx type header, or Altera type header.

Connect the onTAP USB HighSpeed cable to your application with either the Xilinx style header, flying leads, or an Altera style header.  The onTAP cable automatically senses and adjusts to target I/O voltages, and interfaces to devices operating at 1.8 to 5.0 VDC using the VREF voltage from the target chain.  If there is no VREF available, you can set the voltage for the target application from the HighSpeed Cable. This facilitates easy configuration to many different JTAG ports, which is helpful in design and manufacturing.  Features include:

  • Adjustable TCK Clock 280KHz – 15MHz + 28.8MHz
  • Dual channel – run two chains from one cable
  • Adjustable internal voltage 1.8V – 4.5V
  • Auto sensing voltage through VREF for devices operating from 1.8V to 5V
  • External VREF 1.8V – 4.5V
  • Connect to popular Xilinx and Altera style headers, or use flying leads
  • Program Flash in less time than standard cables
  • Test and program multiple chains at high speeds
  • Cut test and programming times by at least 30%
  • Hot plug and play

Includes High Speed, 6′ mini USB Cable and your choice of connectors: Flying Leads, Xilinx Header, or Altera Header.
