Product details
Overview
HW-MP-TQ144 from Xilinx is a 144-pin TQFP device adapter for CoolRunner-II CPLDs, designed to interface with the MultiPRO Desktop Tool (DS114) for standalone programming. It provides automatic adapter identification via dual ID pins (ID0/ID1), supports target I/O voltages of 1.5V–5.0V, and includes short-circuit protection during insertion. It enables in-system configuration of CoolRunner-II devices using JTAG or Slave-Serial protocols.
For engineers reviewing the HW-MP-TQ144 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this adapter delivers verified mechanical and electrical compatibility with Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLDs in 144-pin TQFP packages, integrates with IEEE 1284-based MultiPRO host communication, and requires no custom firmware or driver modification when used with ISE iMPACT v5.1i SP3+.
Technical Context
The HW-MP-TQ144 mates exclusively with the MultiPRO Desktop Tool's 20-pin keyed DIN connector (A1–B10), drawing switched +5V DC power only during programming cycles. Its onboard linear regulator establishes VREF per CoolRunner-II family requirements, and its polycarbonate label identifies device/package/ordering info with index pin locator for correct orientation.
It implements automatic adapter detection via ID0 (DIN A3) and ID1 (DIN B4) signals read by the MultiPRO pod, enabling firmware-driven protocol selection (JTAG or Slave-Serial). The aluminum bottom plate and rubber feet provide mechanical protection and desktop stability, while over-current shutdown prevents damage from misinsertion or internal shorts.

Pinout & Package
HW-MP-TQ144 uses a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) footprint compliant with JEDEC MO-153, with 0.5 mm pitch and 20.0 mm × 20.0 mm body size. It interfaces to the MultiPRO Desktop Tool via a 20-pin keyed DIN connector (not TQFP pins); the TQFP footprint matches standard CoolRunner-II CPLD packages including XC2C128-TQ144 and XC2C256-TQ144.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIN A1 | PEN | Port Enable - reserved for future use; left unconnected in current MultiPRO firmware. |
| DIN A2 | TMS | JTAG Test Mode Select - drives TMS signal to CoolRunner-II TMS pin during JTAG programming. |
| DIN A3 | ID0 | Adapter ID low bit - hardwired to logic high (1) to encode TQ144 identity as 0b10 (ID1=1, ID0=0). |
| DIN A4 | TDI | JTAG Test Data In - serial input to CoolRunner-II TDI pin during boundary-scan or ISP programming. |
| DIN A6 | TDO | JTAG Test Data Out - receives serial output from CoolRunner-II TDO pin for verification and debug. |
| DIN A8 | TCK | JTAG Test Clock - supplies synchronous clock to CoolRunner-II TCK pin at up to 10 MHz. |
| DIN B1 | VREF | Adapter reference voltage - regulated locally to match CoolRunner-II I/O voltage; enables level translation. |
| DIN B4 | ID1 | Adapter ID high bit - hardwired to logic high (1) to encode TQ144 identity as 0b10 (ID1=1, ID0=0). |
| DIN B7–B9, A10, B10 | +5V DC | Switched supply voltage - enabled only during programming; powers CoolRunner-II core and I/O banks. |
| DIN A5, B5, B6, A7 | GND | Digital ground - low-impedance return path for all signals; minimizes noise during high-speed configuration. |
| DIN A9 | EGND | Safety ground - chassis ground connection; isolates digital noise from earth-referenced systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic adapter identification | Binary-coded ID0/ID1 pins eliminate manual adapter selection in iMPACT; firmware auto-detects HW-MP-TQ144 and loads correct timing and protocol settings. |
| Target voltage sensing & regulation | Onboard linear regulator reads VREF from CoolRunner-II and supplies precise I/O voltage - avoids level-shifter circuits or external regulators. |
| Short-circuit and over-current protection | Real-time current monitoring shuts off +5V output within microseconds if misinsertion or device short is detected - protects both adapter and target CPLD. |
| Index pin locator and polycarbonate label | Visible pin-1 marker and laser-etched part number (HW-MP-TQ144) ensure correct orientation and prevent reverse insertion during lab use. |
| Aluminum heat-spreading base | Thermally conductive bottom plate dissipates heat during extended programming sessions - maintains stable operation at ambient temperatures up to 70°C. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the HW-MP-TQ144 adapter?
The HW-MP-TQ144 adapter enables standalone programming of Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLDs in 144-pin TQFP packages using the MultiPRO Desktop Tool. It provides mechanical socketing, automatic voltage adaptation, JTAG/Slave-Serial protocol support, and firmware-based identification - all without requiring modifications to the target PCB or host software configuration. HW-MP-TQ144 is not a standalone programmer but a critical interface component in the MultiPRO ecosystem.
Which CoolRunner-II CPLD models are compatible with HW-MP-TQ144?
HW-MP-TQ144 is mechanically and electrically compatible with all CoolRunner-II CPLDs packaged in 144-pin TQFP per JEDEC MO-153, including XC2C32A-TQ144, XC2C64A-TQ144, XC2C128-TQ144, XC2C256-TQ144, and XC2C384-TQ144. Compatibility is confirmed by Xilinx DS114 v1.9 ordering table and physical footprint alignment - no additional adapters or firmware patches are required.
Does HW-MP-TQ144 require external power or drivers?
No. HW-MP-TQ144 draws switched +5V DC power directly from the MultiPRO Desktop Tool via its 20-pin DIN connector and requires no external power supply or proprietary drivers. It operates natively with Xilinx ISE iMPACT v5.1i SP3 or later under Windows or Linux, leveraging standard IEEE 1284 parallel port communication - HW-MP-TQ144 is fully transparent to the host software stack.
How does HW-MP-TQ144 handle different I/O voltage levels?
HW-MP-TQ144 senses the target CoolRunner-II's VREF pin and regulates its local supply to match - supporting 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V I/O standards without manual jumpering. This voltage adaptation occurs automatically during initialization, and the MultiPRO tool's output signal levels are set accordingly (e.g., 3.3V outputs for VREF = 3.0–5.0V), ensuring safe, noise-immune communication with HW-MP-TQ144.
Is HW-MP-TQ144 suitable for production-line programming?
No. Xilinx explicitly states the MultiPRO Desktop Tool and its adapters - including HW-MP-TQ144 - are "intended for development - not recommended for production programming." They lack the throughput, repeatability, and industrial ruggedness of automated handlers or gang programmers. HW-MP-TQ144 is optimized for engineering validation, lab use, and low-volume pre-production builds where flexibility and debug visibility outweigh speed and automation.
