Overview

The Digilent JTAG-SMT3-NC is a compact, surface-mount module designed to provide JTAG programming and debugging capabilities for Xilinx FPGAs, along with a UART side channel. This module facilitates in-circuit programming and debugging through a dual-channel USB controller, enabling simultaneous access to both JTAG and UART interfaces. Its small form factor and separate voltage references make it versatile for integration into various host PCB designs.

Why Choose This Part

This module offers a small footprint for easy integration onto host PCBs, and its dual-channel USB controller provides convenient simultaneous access to both JTAG and UART interfaces. The separate Vref pins for JTAG and UART allow each interface to operate independently at voltages from 1.8V to 5.5V. Additionally, the VBUS_DETECT pin helps in reducing current consumption when the module is not connected to a PC.

Applications

FPGA Development and Debugging
Used as the primary interface for programming and debugging Xilinx FPGAs on custom boards or development platforms.
Embedded System Prototyping
Integrates into prototype hardware to provide essential JTAG and UART communication for initial bring-up and testing of embedded systems.
Zynq Platform Development
Leverages the open-drain buffer on the PS_SRST_B pin for resetting the processor core, crucial for debugging Xilinx Zynq-based designs.
Production Test Fixtures
Can be embedded into production test jigs for programming and verifying FPGA functionality on manufactured boards.
Educational FPGA Platforms
Provides a robust and integrated JTAG/UART solution for educational kits and projects involving Xilinx FPGAs.
