2. Programming Cables
Lattice Programming Cable products are the hardware connection for in-system programming of all Lattice devices.
After you complete your logic design and create a programming file with the Lattice Diamond®/ispLEVER® Classic
development tools, you can use Diamond Programmer or ispVM™ System software ispVM™ System software or
Diamond Programmer to program devices on your board. The ispVM System/Diamond Programmer software
automatically generates the appropriate programming commands, programming addresses and programming data
based on information stored in the programming file and parameters you set in Diamond Programmer/ispVM System.
Programming signals are then generated from the USB or parallel port of a PC and directed through the Programming
Cable to the device. No additional components are required for programming.
Diamond Programmer/ispVM System software is included with all Lattice design tool products and is available for
download from the Lattice web site at www.latticesemi.com/software.

3. Programming Cable Pin Definitions

The functions provided by the Programming cables correspond with available functions on Lattice programmable
devices. Since some devices contain different programming features, the specific functions provided by the
Programming cable may depend on the selected target device. ispVM System/Diamond Programmer software will
automatically generate the appropriate functions based on the selected device. See Table 3.1 for an overview of the
Programming cable functions.

4. Programming Software
Diamond Programmer and ispVM System for Classic devices is the preferred programming management software tool
for all Lattice devices and download cables. The latest version of Lattice Diamond Programmer or ispVM System
software is available for download from the Lattice web site at www.latticesemi.com/software.

5. Target Board Design Considerations

A 4.7K pull-down resistor is recommended on the TCK connection of the target board. This pull-down is recommended
to avoid inadvertent clocking of the TAP controller induced by fast clock edges or as VCC ramps up. This pull-down is
recommended for all Lattice programmable families.
The I2C signals SCL and SDA are open drain. A 2.2K pull-up resistor to VCC is required on the target board.
For Lattice device families that feature low power, it is recommended to add a 500 Ohm resistor between VCCJ and
GND during the programming interval when a USB Programming cable is connected to a very low power board design.
A FAQ is available that discusses this in more depth at:
http://www.latticesemi.com/en/Support/AnswerDatabase/2/2/0/2205
The JTAG programming port speed may need to be governed when using the Programming cables connected to
customer PCBs. This is especially important when there is long PCB routing or with many daisy-chained devices. The
Lattice programming software can adjust the timing of TCK applied to the JTAG programming port from the cable. This
low-precision port setting of TCK depends on many factors, including the PC speed and the type of cable used (parallel
port, USB or USB2). This software feature provides an option to slow the TCK for debug or noisy environments. A FAQ is
available that discusses this in more depth at: http://www.latticesemi.com/en/Support/AnswerDatabase/9/7/974.aspx
The USB Download Cable can be used to program Power Manager or ispClock products with Lattice programming
software. When using the USB cable with the Power Manager I devices, (POWR604, POWR1208, POWR1208P1), you
must slow do TCK by a factor of 2. A FAQ is available that discusses this in more depth at:

Notes:
1. For older Lattice ISP devices, a 0.01 μF decoupling capacitor is required on ispEN/ENABLE of the target board.
2. For HW-USBN-2A/2B, the target board supplies the power - Typical ICC = 10 mA. For devices that have a VCCJ pin, the VCCJ must be connected to the cable’s VCC. For other
devices, connect the appropriate bank VCCIO to the cable's VCC. A 0.1 μF decoupling capacitor is required on VCCJ or VCCIO close to the device. Please refer to the device data
sheet to determine if the device has a VCCJ pin or what VCCIO bank governs the target programming port (this may not be the same as a target device’s core VCC/VSS plane).
3. Open drain signals. External pull-up ~2.2 kOhm resistor to the appropriate bank VCCIO or VCCJ is required.
4. When using PAC-Designer® software to program ispPAC devices, do not connect TRST/DONE.
5. If using a cable older than HW-USBN-2B, connect a +5 V external supply between iCEprog M1050 pin 4 (VCC) and pin 2 (GND).

7. Connecting the Programming Cable

The target board must be un-powered when connecting, disconnecting, or reconnecting the Programming Cable.
Always connect the Programming Cable’s GND pin (black wire) before connecting any other JTAG pins. Failure to follow
these procedures can result in damage to the target programmable device.

8. Programming Cable TRST Pin

Connecting the board TRST pin to the cable TRST pin is not recommended. Instead, connect the board TRST pin to Vcc.
If the board TRST pin is connected to the cable TRST pin, instruct ispVM/Diamond Programmer to drive the TRST pin
high.
To configure ispVM/Diamond Programmer to drive TRST pin high:
1. Select the Options menu item.
2. Select Cable and I/O Port Setup.
3. Select the TRST/Reset Pin Connected checkbox.
4. Select the Set High radio button.
If the proper option is not selected, the TRST pin will be driven low by ispVM/Diamond Programmer. Consequently, the
BSCAN chain will not work because the chain will be locked into RESET state.

9. Programming Cable ispEN Pin

The following pins should be grounded:
 BSCAN pin of the 2000VE devices
 ENABLE pin of MACH4A3/5-128/64, MACH4A3/5-64/64 and MACH4A3/5-256/128 devices.
However, the user has the option of having the BSCAN and ENABLE pins driven by the ispEN pin from the cable. In this
case, ispVM/Diamond Programmer must be configured to drive the ispEN pin low as follows:
To configure ispVM/Diamond Programmer to drive ispEN pin low:
1. Select the Options menu item.
2. Select Cable and I/O Port Setup.
3. Select the ispEN/BSCAN Pin Connected checkbox.
4. Select the Set Low radio button.
Each Programming Cable ships with two small connectors that help you keep the flywires organized. The following
manufacturer and part number is one possible source for equivalent connectors:
 1 x 8 Connector (e.g. Samtec SSQ-108-02-T-S)
 2 x 5 Connector (e.g. Samtec SSQ-105-02-T-D)
The Programming Cable flywire or headers are intended to connect to standard 100-mil spacing headers (pins spaced
0.100 inch apart). Lattice recommends a header with length of 0.243 inches or 6.17 mm. Though, headers of other
lengths may work equally well.

Appendix A. Troubleshooting the USB Driver Installation

It is essential that you install the drivers before connecting your PC to the USB cable. If the cable is connected before
installing the drivers, Windows will try to install its own drivers that may not work.
If you have attempted to connect the PC to the USB cable without first installing the appropriate drivers, or have
trouble communicating with the Lattice USB cable after installing the drivers, follow the steps below:
1. Plug in the Lattice USB cable. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.
2. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab and Device Manager button. Under Universal Serial Bus
controllers, you should see Lattice USB ISP Programmer. If you do not see this, look for the Unknown Device with
the yellow flag. Double click on the Unknown Device icon.
