TPLD1201: I have a few questions regarding the TPLD1201

Part Number: TPLD1201
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPLD1202, TPLD2001

Tool/software:

I have a few questions regarding the TPLD1201:

  1. Is there a plan to release a series with a one-shot multivibrator function?
  2. During a system reset, if the device is not configured, are the IO pins in a Hi-Z state?
  3. Is the IBIS data for the TPLD1201 available?
  4. Regarding the drive capability when using the output pins (x1 or x2), is it correct to understand that it changes with Iload? Specifically, what is the drive capability in terms of amperes?

Best regards,

Kyohei

  • Hi Kyohei,

    1. This exists already, see TPLD1202

    2. All pins are inputs for an unconfigured device

    3. No IBIS data available right now. I will have to check, I believe we might be working on releasing IBIS data/models on a per-design basis, since the IBIS model obviously changes depending on how the user configures the pins.

    4. Yes, the drive capability will change with the load. The maximum current rating is given in the section 5.1 of the datasheet.

  • Hi Malcolm,

    Thank you for your response..

    >2. All pins are inputs for an unconfigured device

    An unconfigured input means it is in a Hi-Z state, with neither pull-down nor pull-up resistors applied. Is that correct?

    Best regartds,

  • Hi Kyohei,

    It is a standard CMOS input with no pull-downs or pull-ups.

  • Hi Malcolm,

    Thank you for your support.

    I understood.

    Regarding the TPLD1202, it can use a serial interface.

    Is it correct to understand that the purpose of this is to program the TPLD1202 onboard?

    Also, can the serial communication be used to write only to registers, or can it also write to OTP?

    Additionally, I have another question. It seems that InterConnect Studio supports Windows, macOS, and Linux as OS environments. Do you have specific version information for these operating systems?

    Best regards,

    Kyohei

  • Hi Kyohei,

    The serial interface for the TPLD1202 is only meant for interfacing with the SPI/I2C modules on the device. TPLD2001 has serial interfaces that can be used for in-line programming/OTP (TPLD1202 can only write registers).

    We don't have specific version information for the operating systems. It's just a browser based application and should work on a majority of modern OS versions.

    Best,

    Malcolm
