Overview

The Arrow USB Programmer2 is based on the FT2232H to bridge from USB to JTAG and UART. The programmer is supported by Altera Quartus.

Refer to http://trenz.org/tei0004-info for current online available documentation.

Important notice on the TEI0004 configuration:

  • Do not access the FT2232H EEPROM using FTDI programming tools, doing so will erase normally invisible user EEPROM content and invalidate the Altera Configuration. 
  • Without this configuration, the programmer does not work with Altera Software Design tool to program Altera SoCs/FPGAs. Software tools from the FTDI website do not warn of this risk or ask for confirmation before erasing user EEPROM content.

Absolute maximum ratings

*) Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "Recommended Operating Condition". Exposure to absolute-maximum rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Recommended Operating Conditions

This TRM is generic for all variants. Temperature range can be differ depending on the assembly version.  Voltage range is mostly the same during variants (exceptions are possible, depending on custom request)

Operating temperature range depends also on customer design and cooling solution. Please contact us for options.

  • Variants of modules are described here: Article Number Information
  • Modules with commercial temperature grade are equipped with components that cover at least the range of 0°C to 70°C
  • Modules with extended temperature grade are equipped with components that cover at least the range of 0°C to 85°C
  • Modules with industrial temperature grade are equipped with components that cover at least the range of -40°C to 85°C
  • The actual operating temperature range will depend on the FPGA / SoC design / usage and cooling and other variables.
