1. Introduction
The XJLink2-CFM is an application module compatible with the Teradyne Multi-Function Application Board
(MFAB). It brings XJTAG’s boundary scan test and programming tools to a Teradyne TestStation™.
One XJLink2-CFM can provide up to four independent JTAG TAPs when used in conjunction with
extender boards that distribute the signals to the MFAB’s different slots.
To test multiple PCBAs simultaneously, additional XJLink2-CFM boards can be fitted into spare slots on
the MFAB.
This guide describes the XJLink2-CFM and how to connect it plus any extender boards to the MFAB.
2. Description of the XJLink2-CFM
The XJLink2-CFM has 18 interface pins that can be independently configured in software to provide
different functions.
It has the following capabilities:
Provides up to four independent JTAG TAPs.•
Each of the 18 interface pins can be configured to be a programmable I/O. •
The 18 interface pins are grouped into two independent banks. •
Each bank’s operating voltages can be configured in software or set by an externally applied voltage.
Digital outputs have selectable drive strength and slew rate.•
I/O pins provide programming capability over JTAG, I2C, SPI, SWD, and custom protocols.•
Accelerated programming. The XJLink2-CFM’s advanced features achieve programming speeds•
close to the theoretical maximum of the target device.
Figure 1 shows the XJLink2-CFM’s main connectors. The 18 configurable signals are present on J8, from
where a ribbon cable is used to distribute them to connectors J9 and J10 on the CFM and on any
expander boards.

The XJLink2-CFM connects to the MFAB via connector J12.
A PC running XJTAG software needs to be connected to the XJLink2-CFM’s micro-USB socket, J2.
Table 1 shows the options available for each of the 18 software-configurable pins on connector J8.
If required, frequency and voltage measurements can also be performed on any I/O pin.
Table 1 – Opt ons for Software-Conf gurable P ns on J8
1The X Link pin is the pin shown in the software when the pinout is configured.
2Configuring this X Link2 pin as Power Out routes signals through the accelerator FPGA to enable accelerated or concurrent programming.
3Vref input takes an external voltage (e.g. from the DUT) and uses it to set the bank voltage. Each bank can have its own Vref source.
4Soft Grounds provide a low-impedance connection to ground that can be used in the construction of twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk.
ote: Although pin 1 of the XJLink2 can supply power, it only has low current capability and should not be
used to power external circuitry.
3. Routing the Signals
Each slot of the MFAB has only four direct signals and four multiplexed signals available. To use all of the
CFM’s eighteen signals, it is therefore necessary to use additional slots and to connect to them with a
ribbon cable.
It is best practice to route the four JTAG signals to direct signal pins and not to split them between
different slots. If a Test Reset signal is needed, it is normally routed on one of the multiplexed signals on
the same slot.
As shown in Table 1, connector J8 has 18 software-configurable pins. Signals to/from those pins are
distributed around this board and any expander boards using a multi-section ribbon cable that connects
to J9 and J10 on each board as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

F gure 2 – R bbon Cable Rout ng for the XJL nk2 S gnals
Each CFM and expander board routes signals between its J10 connector and the MFAB’s multiplexed
signal pins; its J9 connector interfaces to the MFAB’s direct signal pins via relays.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show a setup using one XJLink2-CFM with three expander boards to utilise all of its
18 signals. Sixteen of the configurable signals are routed to direct signal pins and the remaining 2 are
routed to the multiplexed signal pins of slot 2.

4. Recommended Signal Routing
Table 3 shows a recommended signal routing when using all 18 signals. In this example, one XJLink2-
CFM is used with three extender boards and a multi-section ribbon cable that has 6 connectors. Sixteen
of the XJLink2-CFM’s signals are routed to the direct pins on the Teradyne MFAB, and the remaining two
signals are connected to multiplexed pins. The XJLink2-CFM is placed in slot 2, with extender boards in
the remaining three positions.

5. Powering the Board
The XJLink2-CFM is powered from the Teradyne MFAB connector J12 using pins 8, 10, 12, and 14.
6. Configuring XJLink2-CFM Interface Voltages
The 18 interface pins on the XJLink2-CFM are divided into two banks of nine. Each bank can operate at a
different voltage level.
Setting the Bank Voltages
The voltage domain used for each bank can be set in software, either by selecting a standard logic level or
by defining a custom voltage in the Advanced Settings. The input and output voltage levels can be set
independently.
As an alternative to setting the bank voltages in software, the bank voltage can be made to mirror an
external value. This is done by configuring a pin in software to have type VREF, VREF1, or VREF2 and
applying a voltage to that pin. The bank voltage will then be set to match the applied voltage. Each bank
can have its own Vref source. For details of how to use a common reference voltage source for both
banks or two individual ones, refer to the Help System’s XJLink2 section.
Interface Logic Voltage Characteristics
By default, the logic levels on the interface will be determined by the selected bank voltage. If standard
logic levels are chosen, the voltage characteristics will be as shown in Table 4.
Table 4 – Interface Log c Voltage Character st cs
If a custom level is defined for the logic voltages, or the bank voltages are set using a Vref input, the user
should refer to the XJTAG Help system for details of the logic thresholds that will apply.

page 8 of 9
Configuring Output Pin Characteristics
The drive strength and slew rate of any pin being used as an output from the XJLink2-CFM can be
configured to maintain high speed, high quality signals.
Sl w rat – each output pin can be given one of three slew rates to control the signal’s rise and fall
times. The value can be set to fast, medium, or slow on a pin-by-pin basis.
Driv str ngth – a drive strength can be set independently for each output pin. It is defined in
terms of the series termination impedance of the net being driven.
7. Cable Restraints
The XJLink2-CFM and extender boards have holes for cable restraints as shown in Figure 5. These allow a
cable-tie to secure the USB cable, and the supplied clamp to hold the ribbon cable in place.
Suitable replacement ribbon cable clamp: Richco snap-in nylon flat cable clamp, FCCS-2.
In addition, each board provides an electrically isolated connector (J11) that can be used as an anchor
point for a Teradyne system ribbon cable.
