1 Introduction to USB Download Cable
1 Introduction to USB Download Cable
The USB Download Cable interfaces a USB port on a host computer to an FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board. The cable sends configuration data from the host computer to a standard 10-pin header connected to the FPGA. You can use the USB Download Cable to iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping or to program data into the system during production.

2 Specifications for USB Download Cable
A 10-pin surface mount header can be used for the JTAG, AS, or PS download cable. However, Intel recommends using a through-hole connector because of the repeated insertion and removal force needed.
